A new system developed specifically to provide (S)HTM 2030 quality water for use with single or multi chamber washing machines for endoscope cleaning has been launched by Purite. Called the Integra E, the new system meets the NHS C32 guidelines and incorporates a range of features designed to simplify installation, operation and maintenance, plus integrated data logging to ensure full traceability for up to 12 months.
High performance water purification
The Integra E is available in two versions, the Integra ES (for use with soft feedwater streams) and the Integra EH (for hard feedwater), and uses proven reverse osmosis (RO) technology to produce a flow of up to 2,000 litres of purified water per hour from standard municipal potable supplies. The output flow is fed into an integral pure water storage tank, and from here the water is distributed via a ringmain to the endoscope washing machines. The system automatically switches to a standby mode when the pure water tank is full, to minimise energy consumption. Also included is a raw water break tank with a Type AB air gap to eliminate the possibility of water backflow and to comply with the relevant water bye-laws.
