What Else Do You Need to Know About Ameriwater Lab Services?
AMERIWATER LABORATORY SERVICES
AmeriWater offers reliable ANSI/AAMI/ISO 23500 and ANSI/AAMI ST108 testing for tap and product water contaminants in dialysis centers and central sterile processing applications. AAMI Contaminant Testing is to validate the final water quality meets the current AAMI standards for contaminant levels in dialysis and central sterile markets that have an impact on patient safety and processing of surgical instruments. We deliver results in 5 business days, with a 3-day STAT option available for an extra fee.
Testing for bacteria is crucial to help prevent serious risk to dialysis patients with weakened immune systems from kidney disease. In addition, high bacteria levels in water can contaminate medical devices and lead to post-surgery infections. Our Microbiological Testing utilizes Heterotrophic Plate Count Methods to ensure the most accurate CFU/ml results. Testing results provided 24 – 48 hours from receipt of sample.
TOC Testing is critical, as high TOC levels can serve as nutrition to microorganisms and contribute to microbial growth on medical devices. They can also interfere with detergents or disinfectants effectiveness for cleaning. Testing result turnaround times will vary.
AmeriWater utilizes the Kinetic Chromogenic Testing Method for endotoxin, providing exact endotoxin levels with both positive and negative controls to ensure accurate results. The test is performed to ensure endotoxin levels are within current AAMI 23500 and ST108 standards. A high concentration of endotoxins present in water can cause pyrogenic reactions in dialysis or surgical patients. Testing results provided 24 – 48 hours from receipt of sample.
The Reverse Osmosis Feed Water Analysis offers comprehensive insights into the chemistry of your feed water, covering minerals, organics, and contaminants. This detailed analysis helps to determine the type of pretreatment equipment required to effectively operate your reverse osmosis system and enhance the final water quality. Testing results provided 2 weeks from receipt of sample. Note: This test does not include Silt Density Index testing. If you require this, contact us directly for assistance.
This is a technique for analyzing the suspended solids within a water sample. Our Particle Size Distribution Analysis provides valuable insights into the range and quantities of these particles, which can significantly impact water quality and treatment processes. Testing results provided 2 days from receipt of sample.
Our Laboratory Services offer a full range of water testing capabilities to provide your facility with the knowledge and clarity to ensure patient and equipment safety.
As water purification specialists, AmeriWater also offers FREE consultation by phone regarding disinfection procedures, monitoring schedules, proper design layout and more to help solve your water treatment issues.
AmeriWater provides a complimentary kit containing all necessary supplies for drawing and shipping water samples to simplify the testing process for you.
Facilities in a wide variety of markets need water treatment for dialysis, central sterile services, laboratories, and industrial applications.
