Who Relies on PuraTherm?
From regional centralized milk banks to dedicated hospital milk preparation units.
Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs)
Premature infants born prior to 32 weeks of gestation or weighing under 1,500 grams (Very Low Birth Weight / VLBW) have immature digestive tracts and immune vulnerabilities. Feeding them raw maternal milk when the mother tests positive for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) carries severe risks of transfusion-associated sepsis and long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae.
PuraTherm provides on-site, rapid pasteurisation within the hospital's infant feeding preparation room, enabling clinical teams to treat maternal milk promptly and safely without sending bottles off-site.
- Eliminates post-natal CMV transmission to preterm infants
- Protects against Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) while preserving maternal enzymes
- Compact benchtop or stand footprint fits seamlessly into clean milk preparation rooms
Donor Human Milk Banks (HMBs)
Human milk banks collect, pool, screen, and distribute donor breast milk to hospitals across regional networks. In donor milk banking, batch validation and regulatory compliance are essential prerequisites.
PuraTherm strictly meets the thermal and microbiological parameters established by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE Guideline CG93), the European Milk Bank Association (EMBA), and HMBANA guidelines.
- Supports multi-bottle batch configurations for pooled donor milk
- Electronic audit logging facilitates traceability from donor ID to recipient infant
- Integrated rapid cooling brings milk below 4 °C for immediate blast freezing
Pediatric Nutrition & Research Centers
Academic medical centers studying maternal immune transmission, lactoferrin bioavailability, and gut microbiome colonization require highly repeatable thermal profiles.
- Sub-degree temperature logging provides publishable validation data
- Configurable holding parameters for microbiological experimentation
- USB export of second-by-second thermal curve CSV datasets
Global & Developing Healthcare Facilities
In international healthcare institutions where refrigeration infrastructure may face intermittency, PuraTherm's robust industrial PLC and automated rapid chilling cycle provide operational resilience.
- Universal electrical compatibility: 230V 50Hz and 110V/120V 60Hz
- Resistant to voltage fluctuations with industrial surge protection
- Full remote diagnostics and low maintenance consumable requirements
