1) Policy
– Waste disposal management shall be taken special note to stop hospital infection.
– Infections wastes shall be managed, kept strictly and burnt by a incineration located at hospital website. The segregation, packaging and delivery shall be operated appropriately at every area such as outpatient, performance theater, blood collection room and dialysis room.
– Precaution: Infection waste shall not be place in different containers on the way of segregation, packaging and delivery.
2) Waste Disposal Plan
- a)Classification
– Storage: Illness waste shall be kept at the storage in hospital website temporarily until infections waste is incinerated.
– Incinerator:
| Infections Waste | Specially-controlled waste | Organ, needle, etc. |
| Industrial waste | Rubber gloves, etc. | |
| General waste | Gauze, etc. | |
| General Waste | Plastic, Rubber | Infusion bottle, etc. |
| Paper, wood, Vinyl | Voucher, etc. | |
| Metal, Glass | Can, Glass bottle |
- b) Infections Waste Disposal
it’s designed to sterilize medical waste, reduce its quantity, and render its parts unrecognizable all in a single completely enclosed and automated system.
It combines guide heated steam, higher stress and shredding to take care of infectious substances.
The contaminated waste is loaded into the upper stainless steel chamber where a heavy-duty shredder reduces the waste to small pieces. Using gravity, then the processed material falls to the treatment chamber where each bit is heated to 134 and compacted into 3 to bar for 20 minutes. The operating conditions are always tracked and verified to attain complete sterilization.
The 60 minutes average length process cycle is totally automated. A computerized program monitors the process and automatically displays a report together with the fundamental sterilizing parameters at the end of the cycle for accurate record keeping.
Treatment cycle:
1- Loading; the contaminated waste is mechanically -loaded to the chamber of the unit
2-Shredding; the heavy-duty shredder cut the material into small pieces and features a unique reversing system to avoid jamming
3-Heat; saturated pressurized steam increases the temperature to 134 C along with the strain to 3 bar
4-Sterilization; the sterilization comes into immediate contact with all the shredding material (134 c ), 3 bar) to get 20 minutes
5-Cooling; temperature is slowly reduced to 80 C by spraying cool water on Dual coat of the treatment vessel, simultaneously, the unit returns to ambient pressure
6-Draining; the steam is condensed to water and discharged together with the cooling water into the sanitary sewer system
7-vacuum; the remaining steam is vented out through a vacuum pump
8-Unloading; a digital signal informs the operator that all safe operating conditions have been met
The state unlocks the unit and enables air unloading of their treated waste into a container
