Keeping Hospitals Running:
How Aladdin EasyFit Isolation Valves Saved the Day at The Royal London Hospital

Imagine a bustling hospital. Vital equipment needs maintenance, but shutting down entire departments for repairs disrupts patient care and creates logistical headaches. This was the challenge faced by CSS Facilities at the Royal London Hospital when tasked with installing a Da Vinci robotic arm washer within their crucial Clean Room. Traditionally, isolating hot and cold water supplies would have meant shutting down the entire Clean Room, a sterile environment essential for sterilizing hospital equipment. This downtime could have significant consequences.

The Challenge: Minimizing Downtime in a Sterile Environment

CSS Facilities knew a traditional approach wouldn’t work. Shutting down the Clean Room wasn’t just inconvenient; it could potentially delay critical equipment sterilization impacting patient care. They needed an innovative solution, one that minimized downtime while maintaining a sterile environment.

Enter Aladdin EasyFit Isolation Valves: A Game-Changer

Through an online search, CSS Facilities discovered Aladdin EasyFit Isolation Valves. These valves offered a revolutionary approach: isolating water supplies without shutting down the entire system. This was a game-changer.

The Benefits: Time Saved, Disruption Minimized

The impact of Aladdin EasyFit valves was immediate:

• Reduced Downtime: Valuable hours were saved. By isolating water supplies without shutting down the Clean Room, CSS Facilities could complete the installation quickly, minimizing disruption to hospital operations.
• Simplified Installation: Forget complex procedures like draining or freezing pipes. Aladdin EasyFit valves are incredibly user-friendly. They simply clamp directly onto live, pressurized pipes (hot or cold), saving both time and effort.

Reliable Performance: These WRAS-approved valves are built to last. They offer dependable quarter-turn isolation for various pipe sizes (from 15mm to 28mm and ½ inch to 1 inch metric and imperial copper).
