Spire Sussex Hospital is a private hospital delivering a range of services to patients in and around Hastings, East Sussex. Linda Waghorne, theatre and radiology manager at Spire Sussex Hospital explained how their existing automated endoscope reprocessor (AER) had reached the end of its working life and so had to be replaced. Existing AER supplier, WASSENBURG, was chosen for its latest model the WD440 top loader.
To meet the new CfPP01-06 guidelines and due to the age of the existing filtration system, the hospital decided it also needed to install a reverse osmosis (RO) system. For this Wassenburg recommended using ENVIRONMENTAL WATER SYSTEMS, (EWS) part of the Envirogen Group. Having previously worked with EWS, a Wassenburg spokesperson explained: “We felt the EndoTherm Mini was the ideal product to meet the hospitals needs, with the small footprint, excellent water quality production and support service, it was best placed to meet the RO water requirements.”
He added: “The automatic thermal disinfection cycle programmed into the EndoTherm Mini will ensure consistently good TVC quality is achieved.”
