UK thermometer manufacturer, TME, returns to Healthcare Estates 2018 (Stand F58) for the third year in a row, with exciting news about the way UK hospitals are using the company’s specialist temperature test equipment to improve the data integrity of their legionella control.
MD, Tom Sensier, says: “This year we’re showcasing new methods for improving data integrity, using a combination of low-cost fixed thermocouple monitoring points and innovative barcode scanning thermometers to deliver detailed paperless temperature logs for every location across an entire estate – right down to the last sentinel point.”
TME’s TCWALLPORT is a low-cost, wall-mounted thermocouple monitoring point designed for recording the temperatures of hard to reach water assets eg awkwardly situated calorifier feed and return pipes, boxed-in taps and showers, and high-level storage tanks. Combined with a high accuracy thermometer from any of TME’s MM range, the system produces an instant temperature reading from up to 20 metres away with no loss of accuracy.
TME’s MM7000-2D Barcode Scanning Thermometer records not only temperature, time and date but also the exact identity of each location, by scanning its unique barcode. In-built Bluetooth then downloads the results to a CSV file using TME’s FREE open source software. This paperless approach eliminates human recording errors, and providing an accurate audit-ready temperature log for every fixed water asset, including alarm notifications.
Tom Sensier: “We have seen a big take-up of this equipment across a number of NHS Trusts, care home groups, local authorities and FM companies, with a growing number opting for fully paperless combined system for ultimate due diligence on ACOP L8.”
IHEEM members regularly ask TME for new solutions to speed up and simplify legionella temperature testing.
Since first exhibiting at the show, TME has developed a wide range of dedicated legionella products directly influenced by feedback from IHEEM members. Examples include:
- MM2008 Water Thermometer with integral 1&2 minute timer for hot/cold water tests;
- KS20-S Dual Purpose Surface/Immersion Probe for both pipes and running water tests;
- KM08 Shower Probe with inbuilt collection ‘cup’ for simultaneous temperature sensing.
“Our aim at TME is to offer practical systems and equipment specifically designed to get ACOP L8 testing done efficiently, affordably, and with accurate results you can rely on.”
