Elga Biopure 200/300/600

Compliant, High Volume Water

The BIOPURE 200/300/600 reduces the contamination risk to patients by feeding high purity water at the point of use to large automated washer disinfectors and endoscope reprocessors.

Overview

It is specifically designed for sterile services/decontamination and endoscopy and is ideal for preventing the depositions commonly associated with using mains water to rinse endoscopes and automated endoscope reprocessors (AER).

The compact cabinet-style system can generate flows of 200, 300 or 600 litres of biopure water every hour and integrates easily with multiple washers from a wide variety of manufacturers, offering a unique opportunity for medical facilities to future-proof their washer systems.

 

Features and Benefits

The BIOPURE 200/300/600 cost-effectively provides biopure water at rates of 200 to 600 litres/hr.
