1 Technical Report.78a Chemical compatibility of the Pall QPoint TM - Tap Assembly with common surface disinfectants QPoint - More than Filtration

2 .0 Background The Pall QPoint Tap Water Filter Assembly consists of a chromed reusable, designed to fit to all standard tap water outlets, and a disposable Filter Capsule. The Pall QPoint Filter Capsule is indicated to remove bacteria, protozoa, fungi and particles from the water supply for up to calendar months (maximum 6 days). The is supplied non-sterile and has been hygienically designed. If it is visibly contaminated or is known to have become contaminated the external surfaces may be cleansed using commonly available cleaning products. Figure Pall QPoint Tap Tests to confirm compatibility of the QPoint Tap Assembly with common surface disinfectants such as quaternary ammonium, alcohol and active chlorine solutions have been conducted and are summarised.

3 .0 Quaternary ammonium solution (0.5 %) Three s were immersed in a 0.5 % quaternary ammonium solution for 7 days at room temperature. The duration of immersion was based on a theoretical 5 minute daily disinfection over a 5 year period. changes in were observed and there were no visible particulates in the test solution. Function of the was confirmed by successful connection and of a Filter Capsule 90 times*. The was subsequently installed on a tap fitted with an appropriate Quick Connect Adaptor and a Filter Capsule connected according to instructions for use. leaks were observed at the connection between the tap outlet and the or at the connection between and Filter Capsule when flow was initiated (Table ). Table. Chemical compatibility of the QPoint - Tap Assembly following immersion in a 0.5 % quaternary ammonium solution for 7 days in 0.5 % quaternary ammonium solution of 0.5 % quaternary ammonium solution Filter The Pall QPoint Tap Assembly is considered to be compatible with 0.5 % quaternary ammonium solutions.

4 .0 Alcohol solution (70 %) Three s were immersed in a 70 % alcohol solution for 48 hours at room temperature. The duration of immersion was based on a theoretical minute daily disinfection over a 5 year period. changes in were observed and there were no visible particulates in the test solution. Function of the was confirmed by successful connection and of a Filter Capsule 90 times*. The was subsequently installed on a tap fitted with an appropriate Quick Connect Adaptor and a Filter Capsule connected according to instructions for use. leaks were observed at the connection between the tap outlet and the or at the connection between and Filter Capsule when flow was initiated (Table ). Table. Chemical compatibility of the QPoint Tap Assembly following immersion in a 70% alcohol solution for 48 hours in 70 % alcohol solution of 70 % alcohol solution Filter The Pall QPoint Tap Assembly is considered to be compatible with 70 % alcohol solutions. 4

5 4.0 Active chlorine solution (5 ppm) Three s were immersed in a 5 ppm active chlorine solution for hours at room temperature. The duration of immersion was based on a theoretical 0 minute disinfection annually over a 5 year period. changes in were observed and there were no visible particulates in the test solution. Function of the was confirmed by successful connection and of a Filter Capsule 90 times*. The was subsequently installed on a tap fitted with an appropriate Quick Connect Adaptor and a Filter Capsule connected according to instructions for use. leaks were observed at the connection between the tap outlet and the or at the connection between and Filter Capsule when flow was initiated (Table ). Table. Chemical compatibility of the QPoint Tap Assembly in a 5 ppm active chlorine solution for hours in 5 ppm active chlorine solution of 5 ppm active chlorine solution Filter The Pall QPoint Tap Assembly is considered to be compatible with 5 ppm active chlorine solution. 5.0 Conclusions Pall QPoint s Tap Assembly are compatible with 0.5 % quaternary ammonium solutions, 70 % alcohol solutions or 5 ppm active chlorine solution for surface disinfection.
