Medical Waste Disposal
The benefits of technology steam sterilization of medical waste are indisputable:
Moderate price
Low cost of equipment service
The highest level of sterilization (>6 Log 10)
- No negative environmental impact
The effectiveness of the system proved even for the most difficult debris
( the IV level waste)The reduction of waste at 50%
Potentially hazardous infected medical waste Management (B and C standarts СанПиН 21.7.728-99) – extremely serious problem of modern health care.
A report on dioxin, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), suggests that hospital medical waste incinerators constitute the number one contributor to dioxin in the food chain. Therefore, under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, air emission standards for hospital incinerators handling more than 100 pounds per hour will require full compliance beginning September 1995. This method carried-out by burning the waste, is known to have created an even greater problem due to it's emissions (hazardous flue gas and toxic ash) created during the complex burning process. At the same time different treatment methods were developed, the most proven and internationally accepted one is Steam Sterilization (autoclaving) which became a worldwide trend.
The Bio-Hazard Sterilizer
The medical waste sterilizers operate with the technology of a high vacuum steam environment; with steam as the sterilization agent, operating at a pressure of up to 33PSI (2.3 bars) and a temperature of up to 279°F (137°C). Due to the unique design and special construction of the autoclave, together with the regulations requiring a minimum sterilization of 30 minutes, the sterilization cycle is relatively short, the entire cycle is no more than about 50 minutes:In a moist atmosphere microbes are more vulnerable
Saturated steam with required temperature and pressure act like a weak acid and destroys organic matter, espessially microbes
Enthalpy energy released during condensation directly on the internal and external surfaces of waste - the locations of the microbes
This provides the following benefits:
The Medical Waste (BH) sterilizer control system is based on “state-of-the-art” microcomputer technology, guaranteeing high reliability and safe operation. Sterilization temperature is about +105°C - +137°C.
The (BH) Medical Waste system is designed to dispose of all your infectious waste in an efficient, safe, environmentally friendly and cost effective manner.
The remaining residue, which is typically substantially less then the original volume, is sterile and may be discarded as municipal waste.There are large range of the Medical Waste (BH) system, from standard 250L up to 4,000L volume, as well as varied sterilizer chamber dimensions according to the specific requirements up to 20,000 liter chambers.
The Quality System is certified in compliance with ISO 9002, EN 46002, ISO 13488 and the Russian Federations standarts.
