TransVac Has a Smarter Solution

TransVac IQ simplifies the removal of waste, recycling, and soiled linens from healthcare facilities.  TransVac IQ utilizes a network of sealed pipes powered by efficient fans to pull material from multiple points throughout a hospital to a single collection point.  Traveling at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, the system offers a highly efficient and effective solution to manual collection.

How It Works

• Disposal – Interactive, easy-to-use loading stations are designed in at strategic locations throughout the hospital and are available 24×7 each and every day for staff.
• Transport – TransVac’s sealed piping network covers the entire footprint of the hospital and is powered by highly-efficient CentriOne ™ fans which pull material through the network at speeds of up to 60 mph to a single, centralized collection point.
• Collection – At the centralized collection point, waste is automatically emptied into a sealed compactor and prepared for hauling by the hospital’s outsourced waste management company.

The Problem with Traditional Removal of Waste, Soiled Linen and Recyclables

Healthcare facilities have a waste problem, generating up to 25 pounds of waste per day, per patient. Moreover, the transport and removal of waste, recyclables, and soiled linen is a critical component of hospital profitability, patient safety, patient satisfaction and overall hospital cleanliness.

Consider the following:

• Hospitals are experiencing ongoing and escalating costs for manually transporting waste, recycling, and soiled linen.
• Hospitals need to reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections throughout their facility.
• Reimbursement rates are determined by a hospital’s ability to improve patient safety and patient satisfaction.

TransVac IQ – Smart Move

• Significant cost savings – A hospital can minimize the amount of staff required to remove waste, recycling, and soiled linen, which results in significant annual cost savings – and the savings continue year after year for the life of the hospital.
• Minimizes exposure to infected and dirty materials – Patient safety and patient satisfaction is improved when infected soiled linens and waste are kept away from patients, staff, and visitors.
• Increases hospital space – Space required to store waste and soiled linen carts can be reallocated for more productive uses.
• Simplifies logistics – Managers will supervise fewer staff and will have a tool to monitor staff collecting waste, recycling, and soiled linen.
