Fluid Evacuation Pump & System for Medical Waste Disposal, Compact, Standaone & Wall-Mounted, Redcuces Exposure, Aqua Box by DeRoyal

Medical waste is a 5 billion pound problem for hospitals and surgery centers each year. Medical waste fluid generated during surgery is a costly and growing concern for healthcare personnel across the country. Due to technological advancements and the popularity of endoscopic procedures, such as cystoscopy and arthroscopy, there is a tremendous increase in the amounts of potentially infectious waste fluid. As a result, disposal of the medical waste fluids has become a financial burden for hospital administrations. With increased efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency and the American Hospital Association to reduce waste, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's efforts to enforce Title 29, Part 1910.1030, concerning healthcare personnel safety, DeRoyal realizes that hospitals and surgery centers are in need of simple, cost effective and safe solutions for disposal of medical waste fluid. Specifically designed to comply with OSHA Title 29, Part 1910.1030, concerning blood-borne pathogens, hospitals and surgery centers can now eliminate red bag expenses with the Aqua-Box, a simple but innovative waste fluid elimination and disposal system. The Aqua-Box is a compact, stand-alone, wall-mounted unit that optionally adds a disinfectant before safely discarding the waste fluid down existing facility sewer lines. The Aqua-Box empties and discards fluid from any suction canister, liner, collection bag, kick bucket or any other fluid collection source. The process is quick, efficient and safe. Able to evacuate a standard suction canister in less than 30 seconds, the Aqua-Box has the fastest fluid disposal time in the industry. Research has shown that suction canisters may be changed as many as 40 times in one and a half to two-hour procedure. Because of this high volume handling of waste fluid, the chance of spills and personnel exposure to potentially infectious blood-borne pathogens increases dramatically.
