Paul Kingsley-Holmes, Water Engineer, contacted Fileder to explain about some issues they were having with the current filter; sometimes being removed by staff, to create an improved flow of water. Without the filters in place, there was the increased risk of infection from waterborne microorganisms. There was also concern about using the existing filter for its 31-day validation period in lower pressure areas as the flow rate was lower than wanted.
Fileder were invited to conduct a site survey to investigate this feedback and specify an appropriate solution. By supplying the X-Flow Medical Tap Filter, issues of low flow were overcome. Also, the filters were no longer removed by users and only by the authorised engineer, when the full validation period was over. The filters were fitted to the taps using the 316L stainless steel adaptors, designed specifically by Fileder to ensure a leak-free result with additional benefit of being able to be sterilised by autoclave on site at the hospital.
