By utilisation of optical sensing technology, the operator simply places his/her hands beneath the dispenser and a predetermined amount of disinfecting liquid is dispensed.
The exact amount of liquid to be dispensed is pre-programmable in graduations of 0.5ml ensuring a repeatable and validatable performance every time.
An indication is provided when the liquid container is almost empty.

By eliminating the manual intervention process, further advantages are realised by eliminating waste and ensuring that the required amount of disinfectant is dispensed each and every time.
Ordinarily, cross-contamination occurs in clinical and catering environments when handling disinfectant containers or dispensing pumps: this, claim Related Life Sciences, is totally eliminated by Steripower.
The unique spraying mechanism ensures that aerosols are not produced, preventing airborne cross contamination.
The 500mL or 1L fluid container is securely fastened within the unit which eliminates the possibility of disinfectants being stolen or misplaced, ensuring that disinfectant is available at all times.
The system includes a cycle counting facility for analysis of total usages over a specified elapsed time, providing historical data validation and reporting.
This feature will enable hand cleaning performance to be monitored over time, a feature that was not available until now.
The Steripower can be wall or surface mounted, connected to a standard 240V electrical supply or, alternatively the unit can be sited in areas where electrical supplies are not present by utilising rechargeable battery technology.
A medical grade absorbent pad is included within the drip tray which prevents pooling of liquid which is associated with standard wall mounted dispensing systems.
By strategically locating Steripower, you are effectively providing a hand cleaning station.
Staff and visitors become familiarised with the location of the unit, thus ensuring that they become habitual in the cleaning of their hands on entry to, and exit from, controlled areas.
The Steripower has been used in Healthcare, laboratory and food/catering catering departments and Related Life Sciences are expanding its use into the process industries where hand hygiene and safety is critical.
