Steam Quality Testing - Wet Steam Solution Services.^™

Our consulting service can help you resolve your sterilizer, humidifier and heat exchanger problems. We realize how frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming it can be to "try things".

NORMALLY.

• Wet steam / poor steam quality situations require a site visit.
• We will visit and perform steam quality tests and a system audit.
• We are flexible. As our "Successful Strategies" article illustrates, technical solutions are also human solutions.

We have performed thousands of steam quality tests in healthcare and pharmaceutical facilities.

We follow the procedures in:

• ANSI/AAMI ST79 Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities
• European Standard EN285 for pharmaceuticals

THERMO DIAGNOSTICS

TIME LINE

A typical solution involves:

1. Request for proposal - We try to have a written quote** for you the same day as the RFP.
2. Data acquisition - We need whatever pictures, log sheets, drawings, sketches, and problem statements you can offer.
3. Steam Quality Testing - Typically a one-day site visit. We require a knowledgeable escort, since we start at the problem site, and work our way back to the steam source.
4. Solution and resolution - We will review all findings before leaving the site, or as directed.

We will promptly (48-72 hours) deliver a written report documenting testing and inspection results. Corrective action steps and follow ups will be clearly spelled out.

STEAM DISTRIBUTION TUNNELS

Walked many, many miles...

We have walked many, many miles in steam distribution tunnels. It's essential to inspect the insulation, pitch and drainage in order to solve problems.
