In response to the increasing number of Legionella pneumophilia outbreaks in U.S. hospitals, Pall Corp., of East Hills, N.Y., introduces the Pall AquSafe™ water filter. The point-of-use filter prevents the spread of potentially lethal pathogens found in the water systems of hospitals and other health care provider sites. The filter provides an effective barrier from waterborne microbial contamination and ensures the availability of high purity water for bathing, showering, food preparation, among other measures.
