STERI-7 SuperC®
The STERI-7 SuperC® dispensing system allows concentrate chemicals to be diluted at point of use. Unlike plumbed-in systems, SuperC® requires no water or electricity for either installation or operation, and avoids all the attendant problems associated with venturi products.
These can include insufficient water pressure, limescale and other in-line deposits, all of which contribute to inaccurate dosing, and the risk of breaching water regulations in many countries. As SuperC® is a completely stand-alone system and is very easy to install and operate, these problems simply do not occur.
This award-winning system boasts several unique and patented features which contribute to ensuring economical costs to benefit both chemical suppliers and end users :-
Accurate dosing - one of the system’s unique features is the prevention of multiple or overdosing, and under dosing. Chemicals housed inside dispenser - easy-loading disposable 1.5 litre (0.4 US gallons) pouches.
Cost-effective - controlled dispensing; consistent dilution every time; low demonstrable cost in use.
Spray bottle dosing - this dispenser has a purpose built adjustable shelf for holding the bottle in place while it dispenses the correct measure of concentrated product.
Bucket dosing - this dispenser has an extension to enable the dispensed concentrated product to flow directly into a bucket of water.

Guidelines for Hand Hygiene in Irish Health Care Settings –
(Source: SARI Infection Control Subcommittee)
Quote -
“ ... Hand hygiene, often previously referred to as hand washing, is critical in the prevention of healthcare-associated infection by reducing the incidence of cross-infection. This is a simple measure but all too often is poorly carried out and compliance with hand hygiene recommendations is sub-optimal amongst a range of healthcare professional groups.
The Strategy for the Control of Antimicrobial Resistance in Ireland (SARI), which was launched by the Minister for Health and Children Mícháel Martin in April 2001, provides a blue print for the prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance. Amongst its recommendations were the development of guidelines in relation to infection control in the hospital and in the community setting, and hand hygiene is a key component of this.”

Compatibility of “Steri-7” Sterilising Solution with Brass Grade CW614N
April 2006
Quote -
CONCLUSIONS:
“Grade CW614N brass was tested for susceptilibity to stress-corrosion cracking in both neat and diluted Sentinel International “Steri-7” sterilising solution. The performance of grade CW614N brass in both conditions was similar or slightly superior to that in potable water. There was no evidence of the sterilising solution having an adverse affect.
On the basis of these results, Steri-7 sterilising solution is considered to be suitable for use in contact with brass gas fittings.”

NAMSA Advisory Services, Kennesaw, Georgia 30152 USA
Quote -
Conclusions:
“6.1 Upon review of previously cited literature and actual test results as described above, there is little probability that Steri-7TM would cause an unexpected biological reaction during use as a surface disinfectant. This includes biological reactions such as acute toxicity and localized tissue toxicity.
6.2 At this time, no further testing is deemed necessary with respect to the biosafety of Steri-7TM.”
