Several factors are involved in the
contamination of hospital water systems and there are a variety of good
practices that should be considered for maintaining control. Invariably various
contamination events are featured in news reports, and at times these have both
clinical and economic significance.
To explore some of the origins of contamination
and to consider some of the ‘good practices’ that can be
adopted to reduce contamination incidences, Tim Sandle has written a discussion
article for The Clinical Services Journal.
The article covers such areas as: staff
practices, good system design, sanitisation methods, equipment segregation,
control of tubing, point-of-use issues and the primary types of contaminants.
The reference for the article is:

Water Systems, The Clinical Services
Journal, 12 (9): 33-36
