Biologically Safe Water Filters

A recent study just released by Nicholas A. Hoenich <(Newcastle Univ., Newcastle upon Tyne, UK)Robert Levin (Renal Research Institute, NY, NY) Claudio Ronco (San Bortolo Hospital, Vicenza, Italy) indicates that ultrapure dialysis is associated with clinical benefits such as; reduction of plasma levels of B₂-microglobulin and pentosidine [11], improvement of iron utilization, erythropoietin response and anaemia [12, 13].

A reduction of microbiological contamination should improve a patient’s inflammatory state, which would lead to less need for some drugs and that would reduce the per treatment cost. Not a bad thing as the U. S. moves to a new reimbursement model, where drugs are part of the total reimbursement amount.

Atlanta hospital finds Legionnaire’s bacteria

By MIKE STOBBE – 18 hours ago

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta’s largest hospital has found the bacteria that cause Legionnaire’s disease in patients’ rooms, and officials said Thursday it likely sickened four people who were treated there.

Lab tests showed legionella bacteria in water samples taken from Grady Memorial Hospital rooms on two floors where the patients came down with the disease since Jan. 1, said Dr. Leon Haley, the hospital’s deputy chief of staff.

Legionnaire’s can be deadly, but was not in these cases. However, 80 beds are off limits while the hospital tests and flushes the water system with hyperchlorinated water. The positive samples were taken from bathroom areas, not air vents.

No signs of the bacteria were found in other parts of the hospital, Haley said, adding that nearly 300 samples were taken. Read Full Article

Waterborne pathogens are a source of healthcare associated infections (HAI’s).  These infections can be acquired via bathing, drinking (water or ice) or contact with medical equipment.  High risk areas such as NICU/ICU, burn, transplant and oncology are able to reduce the transmission of waterborne pathogens after implementing sterile-water bathing and point-of-use water filtration.

The Nephros Dual Stage Ultrafilter (DSU) will filter your water to .005 microns and, with normal use, the filter will last more than 3 months.
