Process This! Episode 134: Clarifying Water Treatment Methods
The quality of our water varies dramatically—by location, season and source—and the presence of impurities can have a significant impact on all aspects of instrument processing. For the safety of our patients, healthcare professionals must be knowledgeable about water types and their uses. As stewards of our facility’s resources, we must understand how water affects our instruments, creating spotting, rusting and staining, and how monitoring water quality prevents wasted money and time.
In episode 134, host Casey Czarnowski speaks with Brian Battani of Xylem about water in the Sterile Processing department (SPD). Battani explains the importance of knowing the quality of your municipal water and how it flows through your facility. He discusses today’s water quality standards and treatment processes—water softening, reverse osmosis (RO) and deionization (DI). Battani also advocates for developing a comprehensive facility-wide water management plan. Listen to learn about the science of water and its essential role in the SPD.
