The new Hygieneus is an innovative solution to the problem of infections being transmitted by unclean hands.

With the unique 'Blue-Sensor-System', the Hygieneus takes an entirely new and innovative approach to the problem of hot water washing of hands in the Food, Health & Safety, Medical and Healthcare industries.

Designed to ENCOURAGE hand washing, it can be strategically sited for the most effective use as it is a completely portable and self contained hand-washing station.

With no taps, no levers or buttons, the hot wash is initiated by the 'Sensor' when hands are placed in the bowl. This results in a low pressure spray wash that is both delightful to use and fully hygienic.

In addition, the elegant style with its illuminated spray head and sign make the Hygieneus uniquely eye catching. (The Hygieneus is fully automatic and only needs a 13 amp power point for operation).

Washing Procedure

Portable Filling Unit

The 'Portable Filling Unit' is located in the base of the Hygieneus and is a self contained carrying vessel for both the fresh and waste water each separately and hygienically secured.

It contains 2 - 10 litre capacity heavy duty plastic bags with separate lids. The WHITE sealed lid is complete with fresh water dip tube and connector whilst the RED open one sits beneath the waste water outlet from the bowl inside the Hygieneus.

Once the 10 litres of fresh water has been used up then the waste bag will be full. The waste water can then be emptied into a suitable foul water drain and the bag for fresh water can be replenished.

Each ten second wash uses approximately 200 ml of water so that the Portable Filling Unit Twin Bag provides approximately 50 ten second hot washes.

Cleaning and Disinfection

This is where Hygieneus really scores. Cleaning is simple and straight forward and after submission to The Hospital Infection Research Laboratory at Birmingham City Hospital a quick and highly efficient disinfection routine was approved.

After emptying the Portable Filling Unit of both fresh and dirty water, a solution of 500ppm of chlorate solutions is placed into the fresh water bag.

Hygienius has a unique purge system that is operated by a small red button situated behind the illuminated panel and beneath the power box by the on/off rocker switch.

After reconnecting the Portable Filling Unit, run the purge for 5 minutes then empty the Portable Filling Unit completely and rise out with fresh cold water. Use the purge button again and flush out the whole system with fresh water to remove any remaining disinfectant solution.

To maintain a negligible level of contamination, the Hospital Infection Research Laboratory state that it is sufficient for this procedure to be implemented every other day.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any taps to keep clean?
No - the Hygieneus is completely automatic. Just place your hands in the bowl to get a most delightful 10 second hot wash and as it is fully automatic there is nothing to adjust - just the same luxurious wash time after time.

How do I plumb it in?
Hygieneus needs NO plumbing! Every Hygieneus has a Portable Filling Unit that separately contains the clean water and hygienically retains the waste water.

How many hand washes will the Hygieneus provide before refilling is necessary?
Each ten second wash uses approximately 200 ml of water so that the Portable Filling Unit provides approximately 50 ten second hot washes.

What is the 'Blue-Sensor'?
The unique 'Blue-Sensor' on the Hygienius has been developed to allow complete 'HANDS FREE' operation. Placing your hands in the bowl triggers the Blue-Sensor to flash indicating that water is being heated. Once up to temperature the flashing will cease and the spray head will deliver the 10 second wash.
