Traces – form and interpretation
The search on which Dr. Robert Koch set out reads like a detective story. The physician and microbiologist travelled the world to look for the causes of infectious diseases. And when he went to Egypt and India to conduct research on the bacterium that caused cholera, there too Robert Koch set new standards in hygiene. Many hygienic standards familiar today originate in his work. The latest guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute, which was named after him, aptly describe the design of the Miscea 3.1 Medical hygiene system as follows: it combines the function of a faucet and a dispenser for disinfectant fluids in one product. The touch-free operation concept of this innovative, clear and aesthetically designed hygiene system allows users to choose between water, soap and disinfectant with just one hand, thus preventing causative organisms from being accidentally transmitted and causing new infections. Operation of this faucet is self-explanatory and comfortable; choosing soap or disinfectant is interactively guided: a softly pulsating LED indicates whether the system is ready for use and each dispensing mode is accompanied by a light impulse. The design of this hygiene system thus merges a high degree of comfort with a maximum reduction of cross-contamination risk. With its elegant appearance the Miscea 3.1 Medical is designed for sensitive environments where strict hygiene is needed. It is suitable for use in medical and care facilities, as well as in the food processing industry where, with its elegant and sophisticated design, it signifies a valuable contribution to professional daily work – it sets new standards in realising hygiene with ease and style.
