Altecnic launches TMV with thermal disinfection function
Altecnic, a leading UK supplier of hydronic solutions, and part of the Caleffi Group, has launched a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) that enables the thermal disinfection process to be brought up to the tap or shower head. The Mixcal Careflo Plus TMV
removes the need to take off the TMV to flush out the system, making the process quicker and more efficient. The company said: “With Altecnic’s new TMV, using a special tool and the manual override function allow thermal disinfection to be performed through to the outlets, enabling a complete, rather than a partial, flush. This full thermal disinfection further helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.” The Mixcal Careflo Plus TMV has been designed and made to meet the requirements of BS 7942:2000 and the NHS Model engineering specification,

From home automation to healthcare wiring
Established in 1989, Scolmore Group manufactures electrical accessories, lighting, home automation, security, and cable accessory products, and over the years has developed a collection of wiring accessories specifically suited to the healthcare sector’s needs, ‘with a focus on hygiene, safety, and security’. The specialist products that make up the Scolmore Medical Solutions range (pictured) are from the Mode wiring accessories collection. All Mode products are manufactured using Urea Formaldehyde, ‘which has similar inherent properties to antimicrobial additives that inhibit the growth of
infectious diseases’. The full Mode Medical Solutions range currently comprises antimicrobial and antiviral certified switches and sockets; blue ‘Medical Equipment Only’ sockets; GridPro red switch modules; red and green outboard rocker switched socket outlets; key lockable switches and sockets; locating sockets, and Part M visually contrasting wiring accessories. A range of EBBs (Equipotential Bonding Busbars) is the latest addition to the range. Scolmore identified the need for an EBB with a simple design, an easy-to-terminate layout, and the right number of terminations for its
applications within different medical locations. The result is the introduction of an 18 connection Type 1 EBB and 40 connection Type 2 EBB.
