the rinse water, it was decided to monitor the conductivity of the incoming supply. neQis was asked if it was something it could do. The company had a solution, so again we added it to the system, using a spare port on the data logger. Now we’re continuously monitoring the conductivity on water coming into the washer-disinfectors in Sterile Services, so an engineer verifies the conductivity on a monthly basis.” He added: “As there was no formal
recording with the RO (reverse osmosis) plant on the thermal disinfection at night,
it was decided to install temperature monitoring on the flow and return on the RO plant. Using neQis gave us the reassurance that it was happening, so that we could programme time the endoscope washer-disinfectors to undertake their own thermal disinfection cycle.”
Request from Health Facilities Scotland The move to add continuous particle counting in the cleanroom came at the request of Health Facilities Scotland (HFS), following an issue in a cleanroom
