ANSI/ASTM ST108:2023 is an industry standard and not a regulation, but in healthcare that’s a fine line. AAMI ST108 is a water quality standard defined by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). It defines the water quality necessary to safely process reusable medical devices, ensuring no harmful contaminants interfere with the function or safety of these devices.
Failure to adhere to standards designed to protect patient safety can:
Lead to severe injury or death to patients
Cause significant damage to your reputation
Increase your exposure to legal action
