Selecting and installing the right water treatment systems for ST108 water treatment systems ensures safe and efficient water quality for medical device processing facilities. By evaluating your facility’s needs, integrating systems like reverse osmosis and deionization, and using technologies such as the Loop Boss, you can maintain high standards and meet ST108 compliance.

As part of the new regulations set to take effect on July 12, 2024, Ohio Residential Care Facilities (RCFs) must now implement a mandatory water management program designed to manage the risk of waterborne pathogens, including Legionella. This update is outlined in Rule 3701-16-12, Section D of the Ohio Administrative Code.

Preliminary water quality testing is essential for establishing a baseline and identifying any immediate concerns in compliance with ST108 standards for medical device processing. By sampling key points in the water system, analyzing results, and documenting findings, facilities can ensure effective water quality management and ongoing regulatory compliance.

Maintaining water quality is critical in medical device processing to ensure both patient safety and device functionality. A comprehensive water quality risk assessment is essential for meeting required standards and mitigating risks. Here's a step-by-step guide to conducting an effective water quality risk assessment in your facility.

Management requirments plays an essential role in ANSI/AAMI ST108 Water Quality Various types of water are used throughout the process, each serving a specific purpose and adhering to strict quality standards to maintain the integrity of medical devices and ensure patient safety.

Creating a multidisciplinary water quality management team is the first crucial step in implementing the ANSI/AAMI ST108 standard for maintaining high standards in medical device processing.
