Dear All,
Many of you will know that I’m interested in hospital design, construction
and renovation.Recently I have been reading about a vacuum system of sealed pipes powered
by efficient fans to pull material from multiple points throughout a
hospital to a single collection point.These systems replace most of the manual handling of waste and linen.
I’m interested to know if these systems are in use or being considered for
use your healthcare facility?Does anyone have one of these systems or a similar system in their
healthcare facility?Would anyone be willing to share their thoughts/experiences in relation to
these system with me?Many thanks in anticipation.
Regards
Glenys

Dear Glenys
You may wish to d/w Dr Jane Carthey who spoke to this in passing at her recent ACIPC presentation. She is current Chair of the Australian Healthcare Design Council.
There are current mandatory requirements for healthcare facility design that preclude the use of linen / refuse shuts per se owing to fire/OHS considerations. Question would be whether these would be considered in that light.
Kind regards
