Efficacy of Point-of-Use Nephros Filter in Removing Nosocomial Infection-Associated Waterborne Pathogens
The presence of waterborne pathogens in hospital water systems has been epidemiologically linked to nosocomial infections in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). These pathogens include Legionella, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, and
Mycobacterium species.

Dual Stage Water FIlters : Two Metropolitan Hospitals Eliminate Legionella:
A major cause of hospital acquired infections is water borne pathogens. Current methods to eliminate these pathogens involve complete chemical or heat disinfection of the entire hospital water system.

POINT‐OF‐USE WATER FILTRATION-Preventive efficacy and cost‐effectiveness of point‐ot‐use filtration in a subacute care unit.

Infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other waterborne pathogens (WBPs) are major contributors to serious morbidity and mortality in hospitals. We sought to determine whether point‐of‐use (POU) water filtration might result in decreased risk of infection in the subacute care unit (SACU) of a 208‐bed medical center. Our findings indicate that POU water filtration can significantly and cost‐effectively reduce colonization of and infection with WBPs, including ventilator‐associated pneumonia, in an SACU.
