AAMI ST108 Water Testing Services
Safeguarding Patient Safety Through Water Quality Compliance
Water is a critical component in healthcare facilities, especially in the processing and sterilization of medical devices. The AAMI ST108 standard sets strict requirements for the microbial, chemical, and physical quality of water used in sterile processing departments. Compliance with this standard ensures both patient safety and regulatory readiness.
Why AAMI ST108 Water Testing Matters
Healthcare facilities rely on water in multiple stages of sterile processing. Without regular testing, harmful microorganisms or contaminants can compromise the sterilization process and put patients at risk.
Routine testing helps to:
Verify water quality meets AAMI ST108 parameters.
Reduce risks of microbial contamination, including Legionella.
Document compliance for CMS, CDC, and accreditation bodies.
Support overall infection prevention and patient safety.
Integration with Your Water Management Plan
Testing alone isn’t enough. That’s why IWM incorporates AAMI ST108 testing results into your overall water management plan. This proactive approach provides:
Ongoing compliance with AAMI, CDC, and CMS standards.
Streamlined record-keeping for regulatory audits.
Peace of mind for staff and administrators.
