Medical Water Filtration

Specifically designed to retain opportunistic waterborne bacteria in hospitals and healthcare facilities.

About

The T-safe Medical Water Filtration range is designed to offer reliable protection against nosocomial infections stemming from waterborne pathogens within healthcare facilities.

Each product within the range serves as an immediate safeguard at the point of use, effectively protecting against all waterborne microorganisms such as Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM).

In situations of heightened risk due to water contamination incidents, the T-safe water filters can be swiftly deployed as a temporary control measure, ensuring rapid response and containment.

Moreover, the filters serve as a reliable long-term solution in augmented care environments, acting as a proactive supplementary measure to protect vulnerable individuals, including the immunocompromised, from the risks of waterborne infections.

Tailored specifically for use in high-risk healthcare settings, the Medical Water Filtration range integrates cutting-edge technology and innovative features to prioritise patient safety.

T-safe Medical Water Filters have been independently certified as meeting the requirements of a sterilising grade membrane filter for liquid filtration in accordance with ASTM F838. This test standard is referenced by ‘Health Technical Memorandum 04-01 Safe Water in Healthcare premises’ and sets out the microbial retention efficacy requirements for filters used for the control of pathogenic microorganisms.
T-safe water filters meet and exceeded the requirements of the ASTM F838 standard by demonstrating a >7 Log reduction and total retention per cm² of filtration area of the test microorganism, Brevundimonas diminuta.
In additional testing, T-safe Medical Water Filters demonstrated the same total retention of Brevundimonas diminuta and waterborne pathogens of known clinical concern when challenged continually throughout the entirety of the maximal operating life cycle of 31 and 92 days, in accordance with the requirements of ASTM F838.
T-safe Medical Water Filters are proven to provide an effective barrier to the release of pathogenic microorganisms at the point of use, as demonstrated by the total retention of;
- Legionella pneumophila
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Mycobacterium smegmatis, representing Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria
- Ralstonia pickettii
- Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
T-safe Medical Water Filters feature ‘built-in’ antimicrobial additive technology that reduces the risk of retrograde contamination, improving infection prevention and control in high-risk healthcare environments.
Added to the base plastic material during manufacturing, the non-leaching antimicrobial additive technology provides continuous 24/7 protection against surface bacteria growth.
- Proven to reduce surface bacteria growth including  Pseudomonas aeruginosa by >99.9%
- Independently tested in accordance with ISO 22196
- Provides permanent protection throughout life cycle
- Improved infection control
With high-capacity membrane media and constant flow technology, T-safe offers protection for up to 31 and 92 days from installation, delivering the longest validated life cycle on the market without compromising flow performance or end user comfort.
- High-capacity membrane provides resistance to fouling, supporting long life cycle use
- Hydrophilic properties prevents airlocking
- Constant flow technology regulates throughput ensuring consistent flow performance over life cycle
T-safe Medical Water Filters incorporate a unique product identification system using a GS1-compliant Data Matrix, that enables full traceability from production to installation and disposal.
Compatible with proprietary software applications, the T-safe Medical range can be used in tandem with ZetaSafe, providing electronic management of critical control points, protected by T-safe Filters.
- Laser engraved unique identification GS1 Data Matrix
- Traceability through ISO 13485 production process
- Seamless management of filter deployment using ZetaSafe
- Improve visibility of installation points, scheduled exchanges and chain of custody.
All T-safe water filters have a built-in check valve mechanism designed to prevent backflow contamination upstream to local pipework installations during use.

This also ensures the protection of end users from exposure to water spillages from the filter that may contain potentially high concentrations of pathogenic microorganisms during filter exchange or unauthorised filter removal.
