Nephros, Inc. announced the launch of the Nephros Water Institute, a dedicated education initiative established to formalize the company's leadership in industry education. In 2025, Nephros accelerated its national education efforts under the direction of Brianne McGuire, Director of Business Development. Through high-engagement public webinars, national speaking engagements, and tailored training with healthcare systems and consulting partners, Nephros directly reached nearly 1,000 professionals.
The regulatory and risk-based educational programming addressed critical blind spots in water safety includingASHRAE 514 compliance, AAMI ST108 sterility standards, and emergency preparedness for compromised water events. These efforts contributed to a marked uptick in inbound requests, OEM inquiries, and programmatic filter adoption. With the formalization of the educational efforts under the Institute, Nephros is establishing a structured, evidence-based curriculum to empower stakeholders responsible for water safety, infection prevention, and regulatory readiness.
2026 and Beyond: Looking ahead to 2026, Nephros will expand its educational footprint with a full calendar of monthly webinars and product spotlights. Planned content includes: Guidance on the reorganized Joint Commission accreditation standards; Considerations for worker safety at sinks and eyewash stations; Connecting ICRA and WICRA for water safety during construction; Water quality for pharmaceutical compounding; Federal expectations for potable water; Dialysis water purity.
