Sluicemaster SOLO®, installed in the bathroom of each individual hospital isolation room, eliminates potential wide area contamination, as only new bedpans enter the room. Current practice with single room bedpan disposal is to use the communal disposer in another multi occupancy ward or treat as clinical waste and double bag. Disposal is then elsewhere which entails moving a used bedpan out of isolation into the general hospital environment.
Besides isolation wards the SOLO® can also be used in clinics and other low usage areas.
How it works
Disposing of just one bedpan at a time, the SOLO® is designed for installation in single bed wards. When a used bedpan is ready for disposal the operator pushes the lid handle allowing the lid to rise automatically. The bedpan is placed inside, the lid closed and the start button pressed. In under a minute the machine has broken the bedpan up and flushed it away completely.
