EndoTherm Range – Healthcare Water Purification Solutions (AAMI ST108)

Is your Sterile Processing Department (SPD) ready for the upcoming implementation of AAMI ST108? It is crucial to take the necessary steps to ensure that your SPD is fully prepared for this new standard, “Water for the Processing of Reusable Medical Devices,” which will replace the current AAMI TIR34 guidelines. AAMI ST108 places significant emphasis on water system design, monitoring, testing, and maintenance to uphold the highest standards of sterility during the processing of reusable medical devices. By proactively preparing for this change, you can ensure a seamless transition and maintain optimal sterility in your SPD. This is where Envirogen’s EndoTherm water purification systems for healthcare markets come into play, providing the perfect solution to meet your SPD’s water purification needs.

To run at high standards and maximum efficiency, all sterilization and disinfection equipment relies on a supply of clean, pure water, free from particles, bacteria, and dissolved contaminants. Envirogen, with its extensive expertise in healthcare water purification, provides reliable reverse osmosis water treatment (RO) solutions for sterilization and decontamination purposes.

With a proven track record of providing purification systems worldwide, Envirogen ensures the delivery of purified water to all models and brands of endoscope washers, autoclaves, washer-disinfectors, and sterilizers. This guarantees optimal cleaning reliability, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency. Partner with Envirogen today and benefit from our trusted solutions for healthcare water purification.

Envirogen work with the biggest decontamination equipment manufacturers across the world, delivering some of the best purification and dispense rates in the business. Whether you’re operating a small satellite endoscopy department or running a large multi-washer sterile processing department, we offer market-leading solutions to feed:

• Endoscope Washers
• Washer-disinfectors
• Sterilizers

Accessing a whole range of water purification equipment and technologies, including:

• Reverse osmosis water treatment
• Ultrafiltration (UF)
• Ultraviolet sterilization (UV)
• Ion exchange systems
• Particulate filtration
• Range of support services to protect your water treatment and water filtration systems

We supply a range of EndoTherm reverse osmosis water purification systems to meet every demand. These systems are designed to produce water that meets AAMI water quality specifications by integrating water purification, distribution, and data monitoring for reliable performance. Whether you have one endoscope washer or multiple washers we can size an EndoTherm solution to meet your requirements:

• EndoTherm Mini – our small footprint model, simplex system, with a single RO stream for supply to single or multiple washers – various outputs are available.
• EndoTherm Duo – with a duplex RO system – one stream can be fully functional during ongoing maintenance and servicing, providing uninterrupted supply – various outputs, models and options are available.
• EndoTherm Modular – reliable, duplex reverse osmosis plant for large, centralised endoscopy and sterile processing departments.

Endoscopes are expensive and delicate reusable medical devices, but their frequent use and invasive function mean that they must be cleaned quickly and thoroughly with the use of an endoscope washer. These advanced machines clean endoscopes to extremely high standards. Without the benefit of high sterilizing temperatures, a supply of high-quality purified water is crucial to the performance of these machines. Only the purest water can ensure that endoscopes are thoroughly disinfected preventing cross-contamination.

Envirogen EndoTherm water purification systems supply purified water for endoscope washers. They are recommended by many manufacturers due to the high-water quality achieved meeting all current standards. These include HTM01-06 (Health Technical Memorandum 01-06) in the UK, ISO15883 (International Organization for Standardization 15883) internationally, AS/NZ 4187 (Australian and New Zealand standard for reprocessing of reusable medical devices), and AAMI ST108 (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation ST108) in the US. The Envirogen EndoTherm Mini, EndoTherm Duo, and EndoTherm Modular can provide the perfect solution for your endoscope washer facility.

We know that central sterile supply departments (CSSD) and sterile processing departments are busy production lines, processing hundreds of sets of surgical equipment a day, with the precision and attention to detail required when there is no room for error. Whether you have a single washer in a satellite location or a centralised department with multiple washer-disinfectors and sterilizers, you need a high quality, pure source of water to ensure compliant results.

The EndoTherm Duo is the perfect partner for smaller sterile supply departments for supplying single or multiple washer-disinfectors and sterilizers. The EndoTherm CSSD system is a complete, standalone, water purification system delivering reverse osmosis (RO), ultraviolet treatment and ultrafiltration processes to remove ions, solid particles and dissolved molecules, bacteria and endotoxins.

The resulting pure water is supplied at an elevated temperature of typically between 140-158°F (60-70°C), reducing process times within washer-disinfectors.
The EndoTherm Duo range is available in a variety of sizes and offers duplex RO options for continuous supply even during maintenance. And of course, all systems are fully compliant with the latest guidelines, including HTM01-06, HTM01-01, ISO15883, EN285, AS/NZ 4187 and AAMI ST108.

As hospitals move to more centralised facilities, consolidating their resources and saving money, CSSD requirements change. Larger departments require more bespoke solutions, delivering a reliable source of pure water, when it’s needed, with no interruption to supply.

The EndoTherm Modular is a range of duplex RO systems designed to meet the water quality standards of HTM01-06, HTM01-01, ISO15883, AS/NZ 4187 and AAMI ST108. This modular and upgradeable range can be set to operate at ambient or elevated temperatures (user adjustable) with automatic thermal sanitisation taking place out of hours.

A combination of reverse osmosis, ultra-violet disinfection, sub-micron filtration and constant recirculation all work together to maintain maximum water quality at a range of dispense rates matched to single or multiple decontamination equipment needs. Each system is based on four prefabricated modules for fast installation and optimum use of available space.

Our expert team of engineers take the time to understand your requirements and challenges on site and then design the solution to match. Our dedicated project managers ensure that each project runs to schedule with no impact to your day-to-day operation. We’ll even loan temporary process equipment whilst the work is underway to ensure that there is no effect on your capability whilst installation takes place.

PureCare service contract options are available as well as access to our remote diagnostics monitoring programs.
