Yes! The Joint Commission and the CMS mandate require facilities to consider the ASHRAE188 standard when creating a water management plan. Our solution was created using this standard and audited by one of the original architects of the standard—Bill Pearson.
Legionella & Waterborne Pathogen Testing
Legionella is a waterborne pathogen that causes legionellosis, Legionnaires’ disease, and Pontiac fever. There are 50 species and 70 serogroups identified of Legionella, and it is most commonly found in water systems. Outbreaks are typically caused by inadequately maintained water systems and cooling towers.
Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by the bacterium Legionella. Individuals can become ill after inhaling tiny droplets of water or accidentally swallowing water that contains Legionella into their lungs.
The CMS mandate does not specifically require testing. However, it does point to the state and local health department and their individual requirements. We can help you determine if you need to test. Often times we recommend no less than testing once per quarter to monitor the growth of Legionella bacteria in your water system.
Do not panic. IWC Innovations has the leading expertise in interpreting Legionella-positive test results, so that you only put the resolutions in place that are absolutely necessary. Not every positive result necessitates a full-blown case investigation and remediation. Trust the IWC Innovations case experts to guide you.
IWC’s HydroTreat Remediation process is a breakthrough technology for Legionella problems. The HydroTreat process is a reliable and affordable technology that can fight Legionella bacteria at any scale.
