‘New and fresh’ approach to HV training
Experts from Eastwood Park will be advising visitors to its stand on the most relevant changes to recently published HTM guidelines, and the latest additions to the training calendar. Four new HTM guidelines have been re-published in the past six months – HTM 01-01, Decontamination of surgical instruments; HTM 01-06, Management and decontamination of flexible endoscopes; HTM 08-02: Lifts, and HTM 04-01: Safe water in healthcare premises. Eastwood Park will also present its ‘new and fresh approach’ to high voltage (HV) training, following the opening of its brand new HV training facility. Its training focus this year will be on ‘improving awareness in hospital
engineering and estate teams of the benefits of continuously developing knowledge, skills, and competencies’. To this end Eastwood Park has extended its Estates portfolio to include the opportunity to become a graduate. The BSc (Hons) degree in
Management of Healthcare Engineering Technologies & Facilities is only available at Eastwood Park, and is designed specifically for individuals working in the sector. It complements Eastwood Park’s new ‘degrees portfolio’, sitting alongside Foundation Degrees in Hospital Engineering and Medical Equipment Technologies.
Recyclable shower heads
Set to be unveiled by Dupal UK is the company’s new ‘recyclable’ L8 shower head system.
The company said: “We believe compliance to ACoP L8 and HTM 01 guidelines needn’t increase costs, or result in time-consuming auditing for
healthcare establishments. Manufactured in the UK, our L8 shower head system offers a simple solution. The components have antibacterial properties to boost infection prevention and control, and are designed to replace existing shower heads and hoses, with each head and hose colour-coded, to ensure that not a single shower is missed or forgotten. “The heads and hoses are fully recyclable, eliminating the need to incinerate or send used shower components to landfill. The L8 Shower not only saves time for the estates team fitting the showers, but also for personnel auditing and reporting quarterly compliance. The L8 system is a real time and money-saving solution all healthcare establishments can afford to implement.” Customers ordering before 31 October 2016 will receive an extra 10% discount on all orders placed in the first year.

Thermostatic shower panel to launch
Delabie’s new Securitherm sequential shower panel, to be unveiled in Manchester, was designed specifically for healthcare facilities, and ‘provides anti-scalding safety for users’.
The wall-mounted shower panel offers point-of-use thermostatic control, is easy to install, ‘and delivers patient safety without compromising comfort’. The shower panel is made from light weight epoxy-coated aluminium. The copper supply inlets have M1/2” stopcocks to facilitate maintenance. The panel also has concealed fixings, reducing the risk of unwanted removal, and can easily conceal traces of previous installations for refurbishment projects. Featuring sequential control, the valve opens with cold water, and adjusts up to a pre-set maximum limit of 39 °C, which can be adjusted by the installer. Providing full thermostatic control, the mixed water remains stable regardless of pressure or flow rate variations. With the hot water shutting off if the cold water supply fails, and vice versa, anti-scalding safety is ensured. The mechanism will also withstand thermal shocks. There is the option of a sliding handset on a chrome-plated rail, with a flexible shower hose for assisted washing. The ergonomic control lever measures 100 mm, and is easy to operate with a closed fist.
