Maintaining the highest standards of water quality in healthcare settings is critical. The ANSI/AAMI ST108 standards ensure that water used in medical applications, such as sterilization and disinfection, meets rigorous purity and safety requirements. Compliance with these standards is not only a regulatory necessity but also a fundamental aspect of patient safety and effective healthcare delivery.
Our ST108 Compliance Testing Packages offer a comprehensive approach to meet the stringent ANSI/AAMI ST108 standards. These packages include a variety of tests tailored to different aspects of water quality management, from performance qualification to routine monitoring. Implementing these testing packages ensures that healthcare facilities consistently deliver high-quality water, supporting the critical functions of Sterile Processing Departments (SPDs) and Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs).
Performance Qualification Testing is crucial for validating that your water treatment system consistently meets the stringent specifications outlined in the ANSI/AAMI ST108 standards. According to Table 2 of the standard, this testing covers several key parameters:
Regular performance qualification testing ensures that healthcare facilities’ water treatment systems operate efficiently and within compliance, providing the highest quality water for critical medical processes.
Monthly Critical Water Testing is conducted to monitor and maintain the quality of water used in critical applications. This testing package includes:
Monthly testing helps in the early detection of potential issues, ensuring continuous compliance with ANSI/AAMI ST108 standards.
Quarterly Utility Water Testing focuses on the water used in utility applications, ensuring it meets the necessary quality standards. This package includes:
Regular quarterly testing helps maintain the integrity of utility water systems and supports compliance with ANSI/AAMI ST108.
Steam quality is critical for sterilization processes in healthcare settings. Quarterly Steam Testing ensures that steam used in sterilization meets the required standards. This package includes:
Regular steam testing is crucial for maintaining effective sterilization processes and ensuring compliance with ANSI/AAMI ST108 standards.
Our ST108 Compliance Testing Packages are designed to help healthcare facilities maintain high water quality and comply with ANSI/AAMI ST108 standards. Regular testing and monitoring ensure that water systems operate efficiently and safely, supporting the overall goal of providing a sterile environment for patient care.
