Challis RapidShield Emergency POU Pack
 
Emergency Waterborne Pathogen Protection for Healthcare Environments
Suspected or confirmed Legionella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or other dangerous waterborne pathogen incidents require an immediate response. Unfortunately, many hospitals face delays waiting for emergency POU filters to arrive — often resulting in ward closures, room shutdowns, operational disruption and increased risk exposure.
The Challis RapidShield Emergency POU Pack has been developed specifically to solve this problem.
Pre-configured and ready for immediate deployment, the pack enables estates, infection prevention and facilities teams to rapidly protect patients, staff and clinical areas straight from shelf stock — buying valuable time while full investigations and remediation works are carried out.
With a 5-year shelf life, the kit forms a vital part of any healthcare water safety contingency plan.
 
Why Preparedness Matters
Waterborne pathogen incidents can escalate quickly. Delays in obtaining emergency filtration can lead to:
Closure of patient rooms and clinical areas
Disruption to hospital operations
Increased infection control risks
Pressure on estates and IPC teams
Delays to remediation programmes
The Challis RapidShield Pack provides an immediate first-response solution designed to minimise disruption and support continuity of care.
