Overview
A leading UK hospital equipment supplier called Medicare Colgate Ltd approached TES with their innovative idea of producing a pasteuriser for Donor Human Milk and Special Diets.
Neonatal Intensive Care Units provide Donor Breast Milk for premature infants if the mother cannot provide milk due to late onset of lactation or for other health reasons.
To effectively pasteurise human donor milk precise controlled heating and refrigerated cooling are required to ensure harmful pathogens are eliminated.
The Solution
Together with its client, TES designed the S90 Infant Feed Pasteuriser which over the years has been installed in Children’s Hospitals, Special Care Units and Central Milk Banks throughout the UK, Europe and world-wide.
Outcome
TES has established a long term relationship with Medicare Colgate and has been manufacturing all their baby milk pasteurisers for over 15 years. For more details please see Medicare Colgate's website on www.sterifeed.com
