Demineralised process water: Consulting
Expert advice and support: our A-level advice
Those who decide to seek advice have knowledge and can therefore clearly recognise when it is time to seek expert support.
We have been working with the topic of process water for many years. Our focus is on the ingredients of water and their effects. Here we deal with tap, drinking and well water as well as ultrapure water.
Our roots as Gebr. Heyl Vertriebsgesellschaft lie in the field of measurement, control and regulation technology (MCR) for all process water topics. So we have been dealing with disinfection technology (ozone, UV, chlorine dioxide) and plant technology (plants to ensure water quality) for a long time. It is hardly surprising that we have extensive practical experience in addition to in-depth theoretical knowledge. With experts from the water side, the clinical area and disinfection technologies, we combine everything you need to achieve the desired result of your (investment) measures.
We want to make sure that you are on the right track on the “water side”, together with your expertise for your industry.
It is easy to describe our range of services.
We lead and accompany the technical discussions and analyse, evaluate, document, argue (also in terms of business management), develop effective solutions, give recommendations for action, accompany your tender, check the technical correctness of offers and accompany you in your tender.
And last but not least: We check your process!
Quickcheck
If you enter your data on equipment technology and process water treatment in our online matrix, you will shortly receive feedback from our team of experts on the current status and compliance with applicable standards and recommendations.
A report summarising all the results will include initial recommendations for action for you and your team.
Basic check
We support you and your team on site during a basic analysis. All relevant data on the equipment technology and the treatment of process water are collected together. Furthermore, a random inspection of the equipment technology and supply technology used, as well as the instruments, is carried out by an expert for surface irregularities. In addition, water samples are taken from representative sampling points and wipe samples are taken from the equipment in consultation with you. Some of the samples collected are analysed on site using photometric measurements and the rest are sent to an accredited laboratory.
Once the report has been written, the results are presented in an online event.
Process analysis
The analysis of processes includes all relevant steps of the preparation and mainly includes:
- A detailed analysis of the water treatment and the associated use of the generated water qualities
- Assessment of the equipment used with regard to possible changes in the surface
- Qualified sampling of the entire process for water, steam and equipment
- Sieving with microscopic detailed analysis
- Observation in the operating theatre (after consultation, if possible)
- Inspection of the workflows on the clean and unclean side in the AEMP
- Consideration of all processes that are relevant to logistics and thus to the provision and preparation of instruments
- Preparation of a detailed report, structured according to the individual focal points and containing recommendations for action in the form of an action plan
- Presentation of the results on site
All the people involved in the reprocessing process (e.g. AEMP management, building services management, hygiene officers, etc.) can use the process analysis to gain a high-quality overview of the overall process. The focus is on improved workflows, the preservation of instruments, patient safety, cost savings and legal certainty.
Consulting
Whether you are planning a new project or expanding an existing medical device reprocessing facility, our experts will support you in planning and implementing the project. Our neutral consultancy services focus on competently addressing all relevant project topics, moderating between the parties involved and developing joint requirement catalogues.
We work with your external service providers and your specialist team to develop future-proof concepts and to support you in implementing them and in sustainably documenting the progress made.
Validation
Regular validation of the entire reprocessing process and re-validation in the event of interventions or changes within the reprocessing process is an essential means of demonstrating process safety.
As experts in the field, we review the entire process, support you in the long-term documentation, continuously check the effectiveness of the measures introduced, coordinate the involvement of all parties and make recommendations on the involvement of authorised external accredited bodies and specialist companies.
