Problems associated with installing sinks in healthcare facilities are “washed away” when TEAL hot water hand wash units are used instead, the Birmingham company claims.
It explains: “The units are portable and operational within minutes, and do not suffer fixed plumbing’s potential pitfalls associated with Legionella.” TEAL units heat water instantaneously, featuring low pressure spray heads rather than conventional taps. A simple, quick disinfection routine is “all that is needed to keep contamination at bay”. The new Hygienius Prowash portable unit automatically delivers a hot water hand wash that TEAL says “exactly matches” National Health Service requirements as described in National Patient Safety Agency document, Hand washing techniques with soap and water. Each unit holds sufficient clean water for approximately 40 hot wash cycles. Supplied on wheels, the unit requires only a 13 amp power point to operate.
