Feedback from hospitals
We were able to carry out remedial works, retest, and return outlets into use within a much shorter timespan than previously.
Paul Balaam, Senior Estates Officer, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
We wanted to make sure (Pseudalert) was as reliable, results-wise, as a lab. We took back-to-back samples, one going to the lab and one staying with us and Pseudalert. The results were impressive.
Phil Mitchell, Environmental Estates Officer, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
These tests will afford us the opportunity to increase patient safety, reduce clinical downtime as well as reduce costs.

Can Legiolert be used for risk assessments?
Legiolert meets the HSG274 recommendation and can be used for microbiological monitoring of Legionella control measures.
