Department of medical waste disinfection
A turnkey facility — by one team
Medical Innovative Technologies offers the creation of a turnkey department for the disinfection of medical waste using steam sterilization and decontamination of decontaminated waste on the basis of the areas available to the medical organization, or in a prefabricated module in case of shortage of premises and the need for major repairs.
Safe management of medical waste is fundamental to providing high-quality, people-centred healthcare, as well as protecting patients and staff, and protecting the environment. Decontamination of medical waste remains one of the most serious problems for the population and the environment (WHO).
Medical Innovative Technologies offers a turnkey solution for establishing a medical waste treatment department using steam sterilization and subsequent destruction of decontaminated waste. The facility can be implemented within the existing premises of a healthcare organization or, where there is insufficient space or major renovation is required, as a prefabricated modular unit.
The method of steam sterilization is actively used in Europe and the USA and has been identified by the UN as a priority for the disposal of medical waste, which allows you to qualitatively, reliably and safely transfer hazardous and infectious waste into general waste,which is considered as epidemiologically safe. Combined action of saturated steam and high temperatures (134°C) destroys microorganisms.
Department equipment
- Pass-Through Sterilizer – Sterilization chamber capacity from 73 to 1,490 liters;
- Waste destructurizer;
- and other accessories.
Our partner in solving the problems of decontamination of hazardous and infectious medical waste - BMT Medical Technology s.r.o. - is a world leader in the production of sterilization equipment.
The products of BMT Medical Technology s.r.o. comply with the international quality and safety requirements of JCI (Joint Commission International).
- 01
Compliance with international recommendations
“For the treatment of infectious waste, steam treatment (e.g., in an autoclave) or other non-incineration technologies are preferred.” (United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2003);
- 02
Regulatory compliance
Class “C” medical waste must be treated using physical or chemical methods at the healthcare facility. The removal of untreated Class “C” medical waste beyond the premises of the organization is not permitted. The incineration of Class “B” and Class “C” medical waste on the premises of healthcare organizations, outside specialized facilities, is prohibited;
- 03
Reliability and safety
Decontamination is carried out in a pass-through autoclave, eliminating contact between infectious material and the sterilized waste. Mechanical destructurization (shredding or compaction) is performed only after the waste has been decontaminated, thereby preventing the airborne spread of infection;
- 04
Infection prevention
The decontamination of infectious medical waste is carried out in a specially equipped unit located on the premises of the healthcare organization, at the point of waste generation. This reduces the risk of infection transmission both within the healthcare facility and beyond its premises;
- 05
Cost efficiency
The costs associated with the disposal of Class “B” and Class “C” medical waste outside the healthcare organization are reduced through sterilization and subsequent reclassification as Class “A” waste, with a significantly reduced waste volume..
Decontamination stages
- Collection of Class “B” and Class “C” medical waste in the departments of the healthcare organization.
- Sterilization with saturated steam at high pressure and temperature (134°C).
- Mechanical destructuring (grinding) of solid disinfected waste in order to reduce the volume and to eliminate the risk of reuse and their identification.
- Collection of epidemiologically safe-general medical waste into containers for municipal solid waste for further transportation to a specialized landfill.
Implementation stages
- 01
Analysis
Analysis of structural subdivisions - sources of generation of medical waste of class B and C, their volume per day, storage places, internal logistics and removal of medical waste, premises for placing the medical waste decontamination department and utilities;
- 02
Design
Medical and technological design, taking into account all sanitary and other regulatory requirements;
- 03
Repair
Carrying out repair or construction work;
- 04
Equipment
Complex equipment (through-type sterilizer, water treatment system, waste shredder and other auxiliary equipment);
- 05
Training
Conducting induction training for staff;
- 06
Service
Warranty and post-warranty maintenance.
