ANSI/AAMI ST108 Water Quality Compliance
In healthcare environments, water plays a critical role in keeping patients safe and ensuring that medical instruments perform as intended. When the water used to clean, disinfect, or sterilize devices does not meet required purity levels, facilities risk equipment damage, microbial contamination, and processing failures. That’s why the ANSI/AAMI ST108 water standard exists—and why partnering with experts like Culligan of Oklahoma City can make ST108 compliance easier and more reliable.
What the ANSI/AAMI ST108 Water Standard Means for Healthcare
ANSI/AAMI ST108 is the first comprehensive standard dedicated to water used in medical device reprocessing. Developed by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), it establishes measurable expectations for water quality, treatment system performance, ongoing testing, and documentation.
Routinely monitoring water quality is essential to:
- Protect Patient Safety – ensure water meets critical healthcare standards for the safety of your patients.
- Safeguard Medical Devices – Prevent scale build up, corrosion, and contamination for the longevity of instruments.
- Enhance Sterilization – Optimize water quality for effective processes by enhanced sterilization.
- Gain Valuable Insights- Learn about your water chemistry to prevent issues before they arise.
- Maintain Compliance- Ensure your equipment and facility remains AAMSI ST108 compliant.
