Learning Objectives

• Explain the key requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST108 and ASHRAE 514 and how they impact healthcare water management programs, regulatory compliance, and patient safety.
• Identify physical, chemical, and microbiological water quality parameters (e.g., hardness, conductivity, bacteria, endotoxins) and describe their role in medical device reprocessing and infection prevention.
• Evaluate current water management practices to determine alignment with CMS and Joint Commission expectations, including testing frequency, documentation, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Assess filtration strategies and system limitations, including the role of validated microbial barriers (e.g., FDA Class II filters), to reduce exposure to waterborne pathogens in high-risk patient care environments.
