Cool touch for safer hospitals
October 1st 2010 Safetherm, the new thermostatic
mixer tap for healthcare from
Rada features 'Insutech+
Technology', which reduces
surface temperatures on the hot
inlet to a safe level.This answers
growing health sector concerns
about accidental contact burns,
particularly of children and the
elderly.
The sequential, single lever
thermostatic mixer tap has been
designed with ease of use as a
key consideration. It is easy to
operate under hospital
protocols,with a maximum 120°
travel. It is simple to use using
the elbow to prevent cross
infection, while delivering a full
range of water temperatures.
Safetherm is also fully
compliant with technical
guidelines laid out in HTM64
and meets the D08 performance
standard – as required by
legislation in NHS hospitals.To
further decrease the risk of
Hospital Environment
Contamination, the design
eliminates unnecessary internal
spaces and detail that could
house standing water when a
tap is not in use.
The tap's integral thermostat
manages temperature at point
of delivery so that the user does
not risk scalding, while allowing
higher 'upstream' temperatures
to be applied to reduce the risk
of legionella.
Robust, and easy to install and
maintain, the Safetherm is
available in panel or deck
mounting configurations. More articles from Rada Controls: |
