Medical waste management

Background

The client is a hospital in Europe. Medical waste is different from general waste. Given the public health risks that such waste may bring, the management of medical waste is an issue of great concern and importance. Due to the wide variety of medical waste, different types of medical waste should be treated differently, so the waste needs to be classified and transported separately. Traditional manual classification and identification methods will cause some errors. There is often a risk of cross-infection during the treatment of medical waste. Relevant staff need to come into close contact with medical waste for identification and classification, which has a high risk of cross-infection. It is impossible to effectively track and record the waste transportation process and inspect every link of waste treatment. Medical waste can easily be transferred, bought and sold, causing harm.

Solution

Based on RFID technology, we help hospitals realize intelligent and precise management of medical waste. RFID tags are attached to waste bins to mark classified and packaged medical waste. Relevant staff scan the tags through V8 smart handheld terminals to receive, process, and put on shelves, quickly obtain medical waste information, and upload it to the management system in real time. At the same time, the application of GPS positioning technology is integrated to realize real-time positioning and tracking of transport vehicles, providing basic information support for relevant regulatory departments.

Effect

1. Realizing intelligent identification of classified garbage not only improves the accuracy, but also shortens the working time of manual identification.

2. Intelligent identification of medical waste reduces the close contact time between staff and garbage, greatly reducing the chance of cross-infection among staff.

3. It is of great significance to monitor and manage medical waste during transportation, effectively preventing improper behavior of lawbreakers and further reducing the possibility of harm to society.

4. It can record the information of each link of medical waste and related personnel in real time, and standardize the entire process of medical waste disposal.
