Infection Control

Preventing the Spread of Infection

It’s widely acknowledged that washing bedpans by hand, as well as using yellow bags for manual disposal, is an infection risk. Fortunately, there are far more dependable methods available which will keep your patients and clinicians safe.

If disposable pulp products are your facility’s waste management item of choice, a macerator will dispose of the item directly into the sewerage system – with no unnecessary handling required.

If your facility uses reusable bedpans, these can be reliably sanitised by a washer disinfector. Its thermal disinfection technology will kill the pathogens that you can’t see – and might miss if you decide to resort to hand-washing.

Maintain excellent hand hygiene with touch-free, motion sensor technology that will open and close the machine automatically, as well as foot pedals to serve the same purpose. 

In addition, the anti-microbial coatings available on DDC washer disinfectors and macerators will inhibit the growth of bacterial spores, helping to ensure that your sluice room’s surfaces remain safe.

Unlike traditional methods of bedpan cleaning, you can be certain that the sanitation capabilities of your washer disinfectors and macerators are truly effective.

Control panels on bedpan washers will show that the machine is meeting the required temperature and process time to kill HCAIs, while the auto-disinfection of macerator chambers will eliminate 99.999% of spores associated with major healthcare acquired infections.
