Low-maintenance bedpan washers – KODRA convinces in Stavanger, Norway’s largest hospital project

117 KODRA bedpan washers installed in isolation rooms and patient bathrooms.

At the new Stavanger University Hospital – Norway’s largest hospital construction project – 117 KODRA bedpan washers were installed in isolation rooms and patient bathrooms. A key factor in their selection: maximum hygiene safety combined with a low-maintenance, highly integrable solution.

Hygiene ensured – Maintenance minimized
In a hospital with over 500 prefabricated wet rooms, technology must work reliably every day. KODRA washers not only meet the DIN EN ISO 15883-3 standard with an adjustable A0 value up to 3000, but are also engineered to reduce service needs and downtime:

• Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel components
• Clear error messaging and full cycle logging via KOTRONIK control system
• Direct access to all maintenance-relevant parts – without dismantling entire modules

Modular and digitally integrated
The washers were integrated into a highly digitized and modular construction process. All rooms, including technical units, were prefabricated and connected on-site – precisely coordinated with the lean schedule. This saved construction time and improved assembly quality.

A future-proof solution
KODRA washers were installed in fully accessible wall-integrated setups, supporting efficient operation and maintenance. They meet today’s hygiene demands and fit seamlessly into “Flex Rooms” – patient rooms that can be converted into treatment or office spaces without replacing sanitary systems.

Why Stavanger chose KODRA:
• Durable stainless-steel design with minimal maintenance
• Thermal disinfection up to A0=3000 – chemical-free and reliable
• High prefabrication compatibility – ideal for modular builds
• Easy access for facility teams – no special tools required

KODRA delivers proven hygiene performance with sustainable, future-ready design.
