Instant Temporary Legionella Protection
Instantaneous, validated and clinically proven
Background
The Pall-Aquasafe Disposable Shower Head Filter has been validated using Legionella pneumophila1 and is designed to remove Legionella spp. from hospital water supplies. Several studies have reported hospital outbreaks due to Legionella spp.2-7, where the mortality rate can be up to 40% or even higher for immunocompromised patients.8 For this high-risk group, the concentration of Legionella spp. in the water supply must remain below the detection limit.9
The filter contains a 0.2µm Supor membrane incorporating prefiltration which can be used routinely at temperatures of up to 60°C, while withstanding a maximum temperature of 70°C for a total cumulative period of 30 minutes over the life of the filter1.
The filter is capable of delivering high volume throughput over an extended period of time and is therefore a cost effective way of providing patient protection against Legionella spp within the hospital water supply.
