All Intelligent Care taps undergo comprehensive air testing to reduce the risk of bacteria proliferation between leaving the factory and installation in the hospital or healthcare facility. In fact, Rada Controls’ Intelligent Care taps are all leak tested using oil-free compressed air – a safer and more reliable alternative to the standard compressed air typically used during the air testing of other products. With no water required during the thermal testing procedure, the risk of moisture or water being introduced into the tap during the assembly process is therefore reduced.
Ensuring bacteria hasn’t formed is essential
Given that products can often be left on a merchant’s shelf for an extended period of time before being purchased and installed, knowing that bacteria is much less likely to have formed inside the taps or pipework gives real peace of mind.
Efficient and comprehensive air testing undertaken in the factory is a highly effective way of reducing the risk of bacterial proliferation between leaving the factory and installation elsewhere.
This is hugely important, especially with the taps likely to be installed in healthcare premises where bacteria and infection control are absolutely paramount.
Adhering to healthcare guidance
With the Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) stating that leak testing should be undertaken using nitrogen, medical-quality compressed air, or oil-free compressed air, and by competent personnel, ensuring adherence to these guidelines is hugely important.
The oil-free compressed air testing carried out by Rada Controls on all of its Intelligent Care taps will help meet the HTM 04-01 guidance, with all testing taking place without the need for water including thermal calibration testing. As a result, the risk of moisture forming in the tap, pipework, or fittings is reduced.
A market-leading product with bacteria control at its core
Air testing is a vital aspect of any tap’s manufacture. However, equally as important is the quality of the product. With that in mind, it’s vital that any healthcare facility or hospital specifies market-leading products that focus on bacteria control.
Rada Controls’ Intelligent Care taps feature programmable duty flushing and thermal disinfection as standard. Additionally, these thermostatic taps are all digitally calibrated to desired temperatures without the need for water testing, and comprehensively tested in the factory, using oil-free compressed air.
