• Point-of-Use shower filter at the Point-of-Care

    i3 TWO for protection against waterborne pathogens while showering

    The i3 TWO Point-of-Use (POU) water filter is used in medical settings at the Point-of-Care to prevent infections caused by bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). It is used as a shower head for the microfiltration of piped water.

    • Assists prevent infections caused by waterborne pathogens from water pipes

    • Effective protection in areas where aerosols are generated

    • Specifically developed to protect immunocompromised and immunosuppressed patients

    • Especially relevant in oncology, neonatology, transplant and intensive care units

    The number of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) caused by resistant gram-negative pathogens has risen sharply in recent years. Medical water filters using the latest technologies are highly beneficial both in the acute control of outbreaks and in the prevention of nosocomial infections.

    They form a barrier between the patient and contaminated drinking water. All waterassociated bacteria are retained. The evidence for Point-of-Use water filters has been extensively documented by numerous scientists in recent years.

    Use of the filter prevents possible infections, such as pneumonia, inflammation of the urinary tract, postoperative wound infections or infections of the bloodstream. These infections are caused by waterborne (gram-negative) pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Legionella pneumophila and can have significant adverse consequences in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients.

    The filter is used for targeted infection prevention within the meaning of Section 23 Paragraph 3 of the German Infection Protection Act [IfSG] and is employed at the shower Point-of-Use for cleansing wounds, washing patients and surgical hand washing, and is utilized where patients, users and third parties run the risk of possible exposure to opportunistic and obligate pathogens.

    These Point-of-Use water filters are CE-marked Class I medical devices and fulfil all the requirements of the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

    The i3 TWO connect has a quick-release connector which permits rapid and secure changes of filter on the shower hose.

    Information about the relevant quick-release couplings and adapters is available in the Accessories Catalog under the Accessories tab.

    The i3 TWO direct has a standard screw thread (1/2″) which allows it to be fitted on the shower hose without accessories.

    Request Information

    These i3 TWO Point-of-Use water filters are a FDA cleared medical devices class II.

    The intended use of the i3 TWO POU water filters is to filter EPA quality drinking water. They retain bacteria in water which may aid in infection control. The filters produce water that is appropriate for washing and drinking, superficial wound cleansing (minor cuts, scrapes and abrasions), cleaning of equipment used in medical procedures and washing of hands. The water filters are not intended to provide water that can be used as a substitute for USP grade sterile water.

    The i3 TWO connect has a quick-release connector which permits rapid and secure changes of filter on the shower hose.

    Information about the relevant quick-release couplings and adapters will be available soon in the Couplings Catalog under the Couplings tab.

    The i3 TWO direct has a standard screw thread (1/2″) which allows it to be fitted on the shower hose without couplings or adapters.

    • Sterilizing grade membrane with a double layer pore size of 0.6 µm and 0.2 µm (microfiltration)

    • Protection due to the bacteriostatic properties of the filter housing in accordance with ISO 22196

    • Proven biocompatibility to protect the user

    • Filter surface can be disinfected by wiping

    • High, stable flow rate throughout the duration of use

    • Irrigation of wounds (minor cuts, scrapes and abrasions)
    Flow rate 4.0 gal/min (15 L/min) at 75 psi (5 bar) initial
