Rada sets new standards with its Intelligent Care tap
Washroom controls specialist Rada has launched Intelligent Care – its latest generation of digital taps designed exclusively for healthcare.
The newly designed range is the culmination of extensive research with healthcare professionals to address the challenges they face in delivering patient care. It means achieving the highest levels of infection control and user safety have been designed into every element of the Intelligent Care range.
- Water flow and temperature controls are non-touch, minimising the risk of cross infection.
- Internal surfaces have been minimised and workings simplified so water cannot collect – reducing the opportunity for bacterial growth.
- Smooth exterior surfaces with no joins removes areas prone to bacterial growth making cleaning easy and more effective.
The Intelligent Care range is fully digital. A single tap or a network of products can be connected to an existing building management system, or controlled directly via the Rada app. Digital controls also bring precision to water management, helping to further improve infection control and also save valuable resources.
- Timed flow and precise water temperature control promotes effective handwashing, minimising the risk of infection, and guards against scalding.
- Automated functions remove the need for staff to undertake hygiene measures, improving services and giving staff more time to focus on care giving.
- Hygiene measures only happen when required, helping to conserve precious water and energy resources and save costs.
- Increased accuracy removes the potential for human error in undertaking hygiene measures, improving infection control regimes.
- Smart data logging gives healthcare providers clear evidence of compliance with required guidelines, optimising systems with data-driven adjustments.
