The power of data

BioAlert Lp15 was challenged against the CDC-Elite Standards and obtained a 100% analytical score. This pathogen needs only 5 days to become a public health and safety hazard.

BioAlert Lp15 was challenged against the CDC-Elite Standards and obtained a 100% analytical score. The device was also validated by Public Service and Procurement Canada (PSPC) against the MD 15161 standard and scored a 98% valid Legionella test result compared to a 97% score from cultured external laboratories.

Rapid monitoring of pathogen concentrations by BioAlert allows for much more preventive management of the risk and a significant reduction in the duration of exposure to high-risk concentrations of Legionella. Studies have shown that risk management requires frequent testing to maintain a risk-free system.

BioAlert’s testing has validated the benefits of the technology in monitoring and controlling Legionnaires’ disease in the following ways:
  • Providing improved response time and reduced exposure times.
  • Validating the effectiveness of the chemical treatment in place.
  • As a tool to improve the treatment and prevention plan by identifying high-risk activities and conditions for Legionella growth and spread.
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of a shock treatment with biocides by measuring the concentration and confirming the return to a compliance level.
  • Giving precise performance indicators of water treatment.

What are the effects of Legionella bacteria?
Did you know that Legionella causes more than 25,000 hospitalizations and nearly 4,000 deaths annually in North America among the most vulnerable members of our society?
Where do Legionella bacteria come from?
The danger comes from inhaling microscopic water droplets containing the bacteria, and it can be all around you. The closer you are to the contaminated plume, the more likely you are to be hit.
