DELABIE / Infection control CONTROLLING BIOFILM MONITORING FOR LEGIONELLA SPP. Naturally present in mixers, taps and pipework, biofilm is a collection of microorganisms (bacteria, algae, fungi, etc.) adhering to each other and to surfaces that are generally in contact with water, and which is characterised by the secretion of a protective and adhesive matrix. Various studies have shown that, regardless of the material used (copper, CPVC, stainless steel, polypropylene, etc.), biofilm forms systematically after several weeks or months. Stages of biofilm development: see opposite. Source:...

HOSPITAL SOLUTIONS Satisfactory level CFU / L: Colony Forming Units / Litre Pseudomonas aeruginosa development in the spout Pseudomonas aeruginosa primarily contaminates mixer and tap spouts, since it needs a mixture of air and water to develop. Biofilm, niches and cavities in the spout walls protect the bacteria from treatments, and provide the ideal environment for the bacteria to proliferate. At the outlet, Pseudomonas aeruginosa finds all the necessary conditions to develop and proliferate, establishing permanent colonies in mixers and taps. Even cleaning spouts and flow straighteners...

/ DELABIE's solutions for infection control DELABIE'S SOLUTIONS FOR INFECTION CONTROL FE THE BIOSAFE CONCEPT Pseudomonas aeruginosa mostly contaminates mixers and taps at the terminal, i.e. inside the spout and its outlet. As a result, this part of the mixer / tap should be the subject of special attention in order to limit bacterial development. To this end, DELABIE has designed specialist controls that facilitate preventative action and, if necessary, curative action if contamination occurs. Inside a mixer where there are no cleaning protocols in place Biofilm is eliminated Mixer is like...

The mixers and taps used for personal...

DELABIE'S SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDING THE SECURITHERM CONCEPT To reduce the risk of bacterial development (Legionella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.) healthcare facilities must produce and distribute hot water at high temperatures. The risk of cutaneous scalding increases considerably for hospital patients with reduced sensitivity and / or slower reflexes. Every year in the UK, 600 people suffer severe scald injuries. Three-quarters of the victims are under the age of five (source: RoSPA). This risk is particularly high for mentally or physically disabled people or the...

HOSPITAL SOLUTIONS DELABIE's solutions to reduce the risk of scalding / Securitouch thermostatic mixer Mixers with Securitouch thermal insulation DELABIE has placed an increased emphasis on safety with its new generation of Securitouch mixers. In general, the bodies of mixers are made from chrome-plated brass. Since metal is an effective heat conductor, it is very easy for people to burn themselves even when only brushing against the surface of the mixer. This may be the case if someone slips or loses their balance in the shower. • Individual SECURITHERM thermostatic mixers: SECURITHERM...
