Making the Water Safer Makes the Environment Safer Ordinary tap water may contain opportunistic waterborne pathogens Use the SPL Waterborne Pathogens Panel to:

Sample Reports   Waterborne Pathogens Panel

• Determine the potential for exposure within high risk areas to waterborne pathogens such as multi-drug resistant strains of Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas and Acinetobacter
• Determine if transplant units and other high risk areas require active environmental control strategies to improve patient safety and reduce infections
• Address the Joint Commission Environment of Care Standard

By virtue of their compromised health, some patients benefit from the exclusive use of water that meets a higher standard of microbiological quality

Waterborne Pathogens Panel Includes:

• Legionella
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
• Acinetobacter spp.
