UMC Utrecht
UMC Utrecht uses Sterilwave as part of a broader approach to processing infectious clinical waste and demonstrates its operational and quantitative value.
View sourceReferences & evidence
Operational experience and independent evidence
Customer references, laboratory evidence, conformity documents and regulations clarify what each source does and does not substantiate.
Hospital experience and European evidence
Sterilwave in practice
Two hospital references and a European assessment make operational performance, transport impact and implementation conditions concrete.
United Kingdom · Barts Health NHS Trust
Whipps Cross Hospital
Up to 2.4 tonnes per dayWhipps Cross Hospital treats medical waste on site with two Sterilwave 440 systems. Following implementation, daily transport of medical waste to an incineration facility approximately 113 kilometres away was reduced to one vehicle movement per week. The systems were also independently tested against the Environment Agency permit.

Evidence for each decision question
A certificate, laboratory test and operational reference do not prove the same thing. Separating them supports a more reliable decision.
IRM test series
NF X 30-503 tests report 7.41 to 8.68 log10 reduction. Four regrowth tests recorded 0 CFU/g through day 28.
SGS, UMC Utrecht
Report EZEM-2021-08-00009 documents off-gas measurements before and after HEPA and carbon filtration.
Whipps Cross
Report 16/0691 records more than 4 log10 inactivation in all tested samples, consistent with STAATT Level III.
Conformity and certification
Model-specific conformity records and ISO certifications support quality management but are not stand-alone microbiological evidence.
6 log1099.9999% reduction under the test conditions
8 log1099.999999% reduction under the test conditions
Each additional log step is a further tenfold reduction. Log values are test results, not a blanket guarantee for every waste stream or site.
