The present invention discloses an improved process for the efficient solidification of biomedical waste that is capable of simultaneously treating and disinfecting solid and fluid samples. The process comprises of the addition of the waste samples to an alkaline aqueous solution followed by the addition of a solid material at a defined volumetric and/or weighted composition leading to instantaneous solidification with >99.9% microbial disinfection and an all-in-one disinfecting device 10 for treatment of biomedical waste.

A waste disposal system with a waste receiver for receiving pharmaceutical waste material. A locking assembly is secured to a fixed surface and actuated from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. A lock cylinder of the locking assembly may extend forward of a front wall of a receiver body of the waste receiver to engage a locking feature of the cover in the locked configuration. A cover retention feature may prevent axial decoupling of the cover from the receiver body. The receiver body may be formed from two shells. A reaction agent is positioned within the container volume and spaced apart from a bottom wall of the receiver body. The reaction agent may be positioned within the container volume between the lock passageway and/or a solid receiver volume, and opposing sidewalls of the receiver body. A support may maintain the position of the reaction agent within the container volume.

A medical waste treatment system, comprising: (1) A main treatment unit comprising: a waste receiver cover comprising a UV lamp; a waste shredding unit comprising a shredding bin and at least two rotating shredding blades; a compression unit to push the medical waste towards the shredding blades; a separator to allow the passage of shredded medical waste of a predefined shape and diameter; and a disinfectant delivery unit comprising a plurality of nozzles. (2) A disinfection unit which comprises a disinfectant mixing bin and a mixing unit. (3) A main liquid management unit comprising a disinfectant delivery unit that comprises a plurality of nozzles interconnected to the main treatment unit. (4) A separator unit to separate the liquid from shredded waste; and a centrifuge to further remove liquid from the shredded waste.

Disclosed herein are single use indicators and methods for employing the same. Such indicators and their uses are directed towards identifying the discharge status of single procedure devices, which are typically, but not limited to, medical devices.

A method of disposing of a residual pharmaceutical composition from an IV bag includes coupling the IV bag to a pharmaceutical dispenser coupler. The method also includes extracting at least a portion of the residual pharmaceutical composition from the IV bag through the pharmaceutical dispenser coupler. The method further includes treating at least a portion of the extracted pharmaceutical composition in one of a chemical and physical manner.

Provided are equipment and methods for intelligent mobile medical waste disposal and flue gas purification, and the equipment includes a vehicle-mounted mobile platform and a skid-mounted standard container; where, the vehicle-mounted mobile platform is composed of a standard semi-trailer truck and a truck carriage base; the vehicle-mounted mobile platform is used for realizing functions of mobile transportation, cargo loading, fuel loading and unloading, power charging and discharging and network information transmission; the skid-mounted standard container is loaded above the truck carriage base of the vehicle-mounted mobile platform; and the skid-mounted standard container consists of a standard container and contents in the standard container; and the contents include: an intelligent collection and transportation feeding system, a medical waste pyrolysis incineration system, an incineration flue gas purification system, and an intelligent management and control system for medical waste disposal.

A waste disposal system for receiving pharmaceutical waste material including at least one of a solid phase pharmaceutical waste material and a liquid phase pharmaceutical waste material is provided. The waste receiver includes a receiver body defining an opening. The waster receiver further includes an inner surface defining a container volume in fluid communication with the opening, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The outer surface defines a lock passageway separate from the opening. The system further includes a bracket adapted to be secured to a fixed surface and a locking assembly coupled to the bracket and adapted to releasably secure the waste receiver to the fixed surface. The locking assembly includes a lock housing sized to be removably positioned at least partially within the lock passageway.

A method for remote control of decontamination of medical waste in an apparatus includes receiving, by a server via a first network interface and from the apparatus via a second network interface, a plurality of signals, the plurality of signals comprising operation data of the apparatus generated while the apparatus performs medical waste decontamination cycles in a first configuration; analyzing, by the server, the plurality of signals according to an operation policy; selecting, by the server, a first signal based on the analyzing the plurality of signals; and adjusting, by the server, operation of the apparatus by transmitting, via the first network interface, instructions to the second network interface of the apparatus, the instructions comprising the first signal, wherein receipt of the instructions causes the apparatus to perform a medical waste decontamination cycle in a second configuration different from the first configuration.

A dual roller (1) for compressing and/or puncture plastic or metal items comprising a first roller (3) and a second roller (4) having parallel axes (5a,b) rotatable mounted in a housing (6) and a drive mechanism (7) for rotating the rollers (3,4) synchronously opposite one another. The outer surfaces (28) of each roller (3,4) comprise an assembly of alternating protruding elements (8) extending from the surface (28). Spacers (9) are arranged so the protruding elements (8) of one roller extend radially into the spacers (9) between adjacent protruding elements (8) on the opposite roller in an alternating manner. The protruding elements (8) are longitudinal rails (11) arranged parallel with the axes (5a,b) of the rollers (3,4, attached to the circumferential surface (28) of the rollers (3,4).

In the case of a discharge device (12) by which separable waste material can be brought out of a controlled environment (13), a transfer opening (20) is provided which outwardly separates a discard region (18) from a withdrawal region (21) for the path of the waste material (19) be closable during operation by a closure element (25), in particular in order to collect the waste material (19) in a stack arrangement.
