Microbiological contamination of HCU process water by pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella pneumophila and Mycobacterium chimaera requires reliable cleaning, disinfection and quality control.

WCD2 ensures reliable cleaning and disinfection of HCU process water through short, automated treatment cycles that are integrated into routine technical workflows. This significantly reduces the need for manual cleaning and disinfection with primarily aggressive chemicals. As a result, WCD2 helps reduce staff workload, improve device availability, and minimize chemical exposure as well as dependence on consumables in the clinical environment.
