Consolidated Sterilizer CEO to Present Water Saving Designs for Sustainability Written by: Scott Mechler BS Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineer Consolidated Sterilizer Systems today announced that Arthur Trapotsis, President and CEO, will be presenting innovative ideas on Green Autoclaves – Water Saving Designs and Practices for Steam Sterilizers at the 7th Annual Northeast Building and Facilities Management Show and Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, June 6-7, 2012. The talk will be held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, Hall B2. As part of his presentation, Mr. Trapotsis will guide participants through water and energy saving design and practices. He will also discuss the proper use of sterilization equipment as part of an integrated sustainable facilities plan. “I am excited to speak at NEBFM because it provides the opportunity to discuss specific utility and cost saving solutions that assist in creating environmentally sound building projects,” Trapotsis said. “Facilities management is a major expense for any business today, however much of this can be offset by adopting green solutions. My discussion will help participants determine which water saving technology options best suit their facility or project.” Mr. Trapotsis will discuss the company’s WaterEco® Series of water-saving features for steam sterilizers. This groundbreaking technology is designed to save resources, the environment, and operational cost by dramatically reducing utility consumption. WaterEco® Systems can reduce water consumption by more than 90 percent with a return on investment in as little as six months. Together with cost savings and environmental benefits, these measures will also help increase the number of LEED points accredited to a building project. Consolidated Sterilizer Systems is an industry leader in development and manufacturing of gravity and pre-vacuum steam sterilizers with advanced programmable logic controllers configured for clinical, academic, life science, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Consolidated products are 100% made in the U.S.A. and built with non-proprietary parts to assure local service efficiencies for maximum uptime. For information visit consteril.com. Tweet Like Share

7.12.23 Cordyceps Sterilization: How to Kill “The Last of Us” Parasite → In HBO’s recent adaptation of “The Last of Us,” a popular action-adventure video game, life as we know it is upended by a parasitic fungus that transforms its human hosts into zombies. The culprit? Cordyceps, a real-life genus of fungus which is best known for infecting insects (most famously ants) in much the same manner […]
6.30.23 Top 13 Sterile Processing Mistakes in Hospitals → When it comes to ensuring patient safety in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), the Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is among the last lines of defense. It’s this department’s sole responsibility to make sure that reusable instruments and devices are properly decontaminated, sterilized, and ultimately safe to use in future procedures — protecting patients from […]
6.22.23 Sterilization vs. High-Level and Low-Level Disinfection [a 3-Point Comparison] → In a 1939 paper, microbiologist Earle H. Spaulding introduced a system for determining which medical devices and instruments needed disinfection and which ones required sterilization. In it, he proposed that critical instruments would need to be subjected to more stringent disinfection protocols than non-critical patient care items. Today, this framework is fittingly known as Spaulding […]
