When rinsing the auditory canal, it is necessary that the water used is microbiologically harmless, that is, free of pathogenic germs like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, in the narrow, water-bearing tubes of ENT treatment units, large bacterial build-up can come about at night-time and at weekends due to the longer water stagnation times. Any attempt to effectively sanitise contaminated units by thermal or chemical disinfection is extremely difficult due to the behaviour of an established biofilm. In addition, thorough water decontamination in plastic hose systems without damaging materials or exceeding limit values is practically impossible.
In order to safeguard the necessary microbiological water quality including bacteria count limit values (e.g. for Pseudomonas aeruginosa: 0 CFU/100 ml), membrane filtration of tap water is an effective method to prevent infections, especially in patients with weakened immune systems.
