Why is it crucial for dermatology to comply with the applicable guidelines for water treatment in sterile processing?

In dermatology, various procedures such as skin transplants and skin cancer removal are usually performed. Water quality plays a decisive role in the sterile processing procedure and therefore influences the risk of infection for the patient. An optimised water treatment process is essential for the production of demineralised process water (demineralised water), which is required for the treatment of medical devices used in dermatology. The quality of the treated water is of great importance to minimise the risk of infection and other complications from the procedure. For this purpose, the medical device reprocessing unit (AEMP) uses individual water treatment systems to ensure that high-purity water is available for the cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation processes. The quality of the water is guaranteed by continuously monitoring the applicable limit values. This significantly reduces the risk of infection for patients, as complete and effective reprocessing of medical devices can only be guaranteed with optimum water quality. High water quality therefore makes a significant contribution to patient safety and health.
