Healthcare and care – integrated healthcare solutions from SCHELL

The number of people in need of care continues to rise. Any project aiming to cater to their needs is therefore an investment in the future. Such as modifications to sanitary facility fit-outs, for example. SCHELL offers intelligent professional fittings for use in hospitals, caregiving and accessible living.

Hygienic and cost-effective

SCHELL competencies: Benefits of using SCHELL products in the healthcare sector

SCHELL offers solutions for sanitary facilities in hospitals and health facilities, as well as in private households. Sensor fittings with contactless triggering and the SCHELL SWS Water Management System are examples of products that promote good health and support caregiving activities.

Minimise risk of infection

Optimised user hygiene

Some 80% of all infectious diseases are transmitted by touching contaminated surfaces. This is a particularly serious risk in healthcare facilities that provide services to individuals with weakened immune systems.

SCHELL solutions
  • Low-contact and contactless fittings minimise the risk of infection
  • No further contact with the tap after handwashing is complete
  • Versions featuring ergonomic clinic arm levers to meet the specialised needs of medical personnel

Form and function in one

Hygiene-focused design

SCHELL fittings feature a minimalist yet well-thought-out design that ensures they offer optimal support for maintaining good hygiene.

SCHELL solutions
  • Easy-to-clean, minimalistic contours
  • Surfaces that are highly resistant to limescale or dirt deposits – and therefore to bacteria
  • Sensor systems in contactless fittings help to improve hygiene

Automated stagnation flushes

Support for drinking water hygiene

The topic of drinking water hygiene becomes especially critical within the caregiving environment. Maintaining good hygiene means dangerous bacteria like Legionella cannot spread excessively within the drinking water installation in a building.

SCHELL solutions
  • Electronic SCHELL fittings can perform automated stagnation flushes, and therefore ensure the necessary and regular exchange of water
  • Many of the electronic fittings can be networked with the SCHELL SWS Water Management System for carrying out automated flushes

Limit draw-off temperature

Reliable anti-scalding protection

Care patients are often unable to respond quickly to danger and therefore more likely to suffer scald injuries. Protecting vulnerable groups of users from these hazards is also required by EN 806-2.

SCHELL solutions
  • SCHELL products ensure thermostatic limiting of the draw-off temperature – even during pressure fluctuations.
  • Water stop if the cold water line fails.
  • For existing fittings, anti-scalding protection is an easy retrofit with the SCHELL angle valve thermostat.

IsoBody technology

Protection against burns

People with reduced motor function are at greater risk of suffering a fall when trying to avoid painful contact with a hot fitting. Steps must be taken to avoid burn injuries caused by hot fitting housings.

SCHELL solutions
  • IsoBody technology works by thermally insulating the shower thermostat housing
  • Fitting housing remains at ambient temperature
  • MODUS MD-T shower fitting can be safely touched while showering

Optional flow regulator

Reducing aerosols

Aerosols may contain viruses and bacteria, and therefore help these to spread. Taking action to reduce aerosols is therefore a basic strategy in healthcare facilities such as hospitals.

SCHELL solutions
  • Laminar flow regulators do not mix air with the jet of water and therefore significantly reduce the formation of aerosols
  • Laminar flow regulators are optionally available for many SCHELL fittings
  • The portfolio is rounded off by reduced-aerosol shower heads

Saving time and money

Profitable water management

The SCHELL SWS Water Management System offers many benefits for building operators, especially from a business perspective. SWS can automate and digitalise processes, and therefore save time, money and water.

  • Automated stagnation flushes consume significantly less water than flushes carried out manually – by a maintenance supervisor, for example.
  • Managers can optimise fitting parameters and automated stagnation flushes to meet their needs as a continual process
  • SMART.SWS can be used for remote administration and management, and therefore reduce workloads and callouts for facility managers.

SCHELL Healthcare solutions in practice

Healthcare in hospitals

By 2030, the number of people needing care in the health sector – namely in clinics and hospitals – will rise to five million. Hospital sector managers should already be planning to handle a growing number of care patients. SCHELL offers innovative solutions here.

Challenges and requirements
  • Maintaining drinking water hygiene and the cost-effective operation of the drinking water installation
  • Prevent patients suffering burn and scald injuries

Healthcare in care homes

Building operators and facility managers in care homes face a complex set of tasks. While meeting the needs of those receiving care, efficient business processes also need to be designed that comply with strict hygiene and safety standards.

Challenges and requirements
  • Operating the drinking water installation so it is legally compliant, hygienic and efficient
  • Protecting vulnerable user groups from injuries as a result of hot water
  • Helping residents, visitors and staff maintain good user hygiene

Multi-generation bathrooms in private homes

Staying independent until very late in life is a profoundly human desire. An accessible home bathroom meets this need, and lets people retain their independence and quality of life in their own home for as long as possible.

Challenges and requirements
  • A higher risk of scald injuries from hot water – as people may be unable to respond quickly to dangers
  • Limited mobility
  • Maintain a familiar home setting despite an accessible fit-out
  • Limited budget for conversion work
