Ultrapure Water Systems for Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications
Water treatment systems for dialysis, sterilization and pharmaceutical processes – fields where standards such as ISO 23500 and DIN EN 285 apply.
Ultrapure Water for Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications
Whether it’s dialysis water, feed water for steam sterilizers, or ultrapure water for active pharmaceutical ingredient production – medical and pharmaceutical applications place some of the strictest demands on water quality that exist. Our reverse osmosis and EDI systems deliver not just the required purity, but also the complete documentation your quality assurance needs.
Relevant Standards in This Application Field
Medical and pharmaceutical water treatment is a regulated field with high quality requirements. The following standards are common reference points in this application field – we design each system individually to match the requirements of your specific project.
- ISO 23500-2 / -3:2024 – water treatment equipment and water quality requirements for hemodialysis
- ANSI/AAMI ST108 – water for the processing (reprocessing) of medical devices
- DIN EN 285 – feed water for large steam sterilizers
- ASTM Type I–III – ultrapure and laboratory water quality for quality control and analytics
- GMP-oriented IQ/OQ documentation with every system
Water Quality in Detail
- Conductivity down to below 0.1 µS/cm, resistivity up to 18.2 MΩ·cm (ASTM Type I)
- Total Organic Carbon (TOC) < 10 µg/l for ultrapure water applications
- System output from 20 l/h for laboratory needs up to several thousand l/h for hospital and production supply
System Configuration
Depending on the purity required, we combine one- to three-stage reverse osmosis with a downstream electrodeionization (EDI) polishing stage. Choose the housing to match your installation site: enclosed stainless steel housing for cleanrooms and hygiene-sensitive areas, a mobile version on castors, an open frame for integration into existing infrastructure, or a fully enclosed cabinet system.
Typical Applications
Dialysis centers and clinics, central sterile supply departments, pharmaceutical API and drug manufacturing, hospital and laboratory water supply, and dental facilities – for each of these areas, we design the right system individually based on a feed water analysis and the required purity class.

Customer Feedback
„We have been working with IEM for 4 years to our complete satisfaction. Installation was completed within the promised time frame; service is always reachable and on hand. Maintenance works reliably. Unfortunately, that is no longer a given these days. All the more reason we value working with IEM.“
Ultrapure water system for the production of immunological IVD reagents – water quality comparable to ASTM Type II.
Service & Support
From commissioning to maintenance contracts at fixed intervals to spare parts service, we support your system throughout its entire lifecycle. For regulated environments, we provide supplementary system-related documentation on request to support your own qualification processes. Optional remote monitoring also enables fast support in the event of a fault.
