Midmark CFT-6STELC-1 - ELECTRIC EYE SPOUT 6"
The Midmark CFT-6STELC-1 Electric Eye Spout 6 inch is a sensor activated faucet component designed for modern clinical handwashing environments where hygiene and durability are critical. Built for integration with healthcare exam room sinks and treatment room plumbing systems, this electric eye spout enables touch free water activation to support infection control protocols and improve workflow efficiency.
Its stainless construction and precise sensor response help medical staff maintain proper hand hygiene without physical contact, reducing cross contamination risks. The 6 inch reach offers comfortable access for handwashing and instrument rinsing while preserving splash control in compact clinical basins. This component is commonly used in physician offices, outpatient centers, procedure rooms, and specialty care environments that require reliable automatic faucet performance.
Key Benefits
Touch free activation minimizes the spread of pathogens between patients and caregivers, supporting compliance with sanitation protocols. The integrated electric eye sensor delivers consistent water flow without mechanical handles, reducing wear and improving long term reliability.
The 6 inch spout length balances ergonomic reach with controlled water placement, preventing overflow and improving usability in shallow sinks. Stainless construction resists corrosion, staining, and chemical exposure common in healthcare cleaning routines.
By eliminating manual faucet operation, the spout helps staff maintain sterile technique during clinical procedures, improving both safety and efficiency. Reduced physical contact also extends the life of plumbing fixtures by avoiding repetitive handle force.
Compatibility and Applications
The CFT-6STELC-1 electric eye spout is designed for use with compatible Midmark sink systems and plumbing assemblies found in exam room cabinetry and treatment room stations. It integrates with sensor faucet control modules and water supply connections configured for healthcare facilities.
Common applications include handwashing stations in primary care clinics, dermatology suites, surgical prep areas, urgent care facilities, dental operatories, and specialty treatment environments. The spout supports environments requiring strict sanitation control including infection prevention zones and procedural wash stations.
Usage Guidelines
Installation should be completed by qualified personnel familiar with medical plumbing fixtures. The sensor should be positioned to detect hands naturally within the basin area without accidental activation from nearby movement.
After installation, test water flow timing and shutoff response to ensure accurate operation. Staff should place hands directly under the sensor zone to activate water and remove hands to stop flow. Avoid obstructing the sensor lens during routine cleaning.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The electric eye spout is manufactured to meet healthcare equipment durability and sanitation expectations. Materials used are suitable for medical cleaning agents and routine disinfection procedures. Its design supports infection control recommendations for hands free water operation in patient care environments.
Comparison with Competitors
Unlike manual faucets that rely on handles or push valves, the Midmark electric eye spout provides automatic activation that reduces contamination risk. Compared to general commercial sensor faucets, this unit is built specifically for clinical environments and integrates with medical cabinetry systems.
The stainless spout construction provides stronger resistance to harsh disinfectants than plastic alternatives, while the optimized reach improves splash control compared to longer commercial faucet designs.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include physicians, nurses, medical assistants, and clinical technicians working in patient care settings. The spout is ideal for frequent handwashing during examinations, wound care, injections, and diagnostic procedures.
Facilities installing this component typically prioritize infection prevention, efficient patient turnover, and durable medical grade infrastructure. It is particularly valuable in high volume outpatient clinics and procedure focused practices.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Clean the exterior daily using approved non abrasive disinfectants. Avoid covering the sensor window with tape or residue that could interfere with detection. Periodically inspect water pressure and shutoff response to ensure proper operation.
Routine maintenance should include checking connections for leaks and confirming sensor alignment. Using recommended cleaning agents will preserve finish quality and extend service life.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The spout is intended for professional healthcare installation and use. It should be connected to potable water systems meeting facility plumbing standards. Proper grounding and electrical safety procedures must be followed when integrating with powered sensor controls.
