Rada, the commercial shower and washroom division of Kohler Mira, believes its new Rada Sense completely no-touch, electronic water control system could have a positive impact on helping to prevent MRSA crossinfection.
Safer approach to water control offered
The product is a no-touch control that offers the benefits of safe, thermostatically controlled water supply with the ability for the user to vary the water temperature for hand-washing, showering or bathing without touching the control. These features make it well suited to assist in meeting the guidelines on regular and correct hand washing set out in the Matron’s Charter action plan for cleaner hospitals, while removing the problem of cross-infection from the manual operation of taps.
Within the healthcare environment, there are also other potential dangers to patient health. One such danger is that posed by Legionella and again, Rada Sense can play a key role in removing the conditions in which the bacteria can thrive.
The product has a duty flushing facility that can be programmed to automatically perform duty flushing on peripherally located baths, showers or basins at hourly, daily or weekly intervals, whichever is appropriate.
