Andy Taylor, the Managing Director of Auxilium Medical Services Ltd, talks about their reliable and efficient decontamination services for NHS hospitals, private hospitals, and dental surgeries
At Auxilium Medical Services, we help within NHS hospitals, private hospitals and dental surgeries to ensure all decontamination and sterilisation sectors are running smoothly. We work on a flexible contract/no contract basis, carrying out anything from full annual validations, servicing and maintenance to weekly and daily testing on washer disinfectors, sterilisers and endoscopy washers.
Reliable and efficient decontamination services
Our purpose is to provide a dedicated Validation team to service this area of expertise. All our staff are qualified and experienced, meeting all relevant BS EN Standards and HTM recommendations for large and small Steam Sterilisers and Washer Disinfectors, including Endoscope Processors.
Efficient decontamination encompasses a multifaceted approach that integrates various strategies and best practices. Thermal disinfection in washer disinfectors and sterilisers is a crucial aspect of this process. These machines play a vital role in cleaning and sterilising reusable medical equipment, utilising high temperatures to eradicate pathogens effectively. Key factors for achieving efficient thermal disinfection include temperature and time control, proper maintenance, and validation processes to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
We service all makes and models of these machines and can offer breakdown services for faults. We are a quick-response breakdown service, ensuring we get to you as soon as possible to keep the departments up and running.
Adhering to a maintenance schedule
Unscheduled downtime due to equipment failures can disrupt operations, leading to productivity losses, delays, and potentially compromising safety and quality standards. Scheduled maintenance helps to proactively identify and address potential issues, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns. By adhering to a maintenance schedule, organisations can reduce downtime, maintain continuity of operations, and mitigate the impact on workflow and production schedules.
Routine servicing helps to identify and address minor issues before they become major problems, thus extending the lifespan of the equipment. By conducting preventive maintenance, organisations can avoid costly repairs.
