Effective legionella control in medical institutions is critical. Patients are often vulnerable or have weakened immune systems due to old age, post-operative conditions, and illness. The legionella bacteria can be lethal to these vulnerable groups. In complex water supply networks, as are found in hospitals, the bacteria can spread rapidly. Rotation of patients may mean that not all tap points are in continuous use, increasing the risk of standing water in unused pipes and thereby the risk of infection.Most popular related searches

An outbreak has far-reaching consequences. First of all of course for the health of patients and staff. In addition there will considerable disruption, internally and externally. Patients will need to be temporarily housed in other departments, with consequent disruption and causing extra work. Therefore fight Legionella effectively by starting at the cause of the problem. The outcome: a legionella-free hospital, wards, treatment rooms, operating theatres and visitor areas. Everywhere. Always.
