solidified waste can be surprisingly heavy. We have a rule here: Staff
are not permitted to put more than 2 canisters in a red bag because
doing so makes the bag much more likely to break.
Automated solu-
tions
Solidifying fluid waste
is effective, but these
staff-friendly options
can make managing
runoff safer and more
efficient.
• Mobile collection
units. These devices
capture fluid runoff at
the sterile field, so
staff members never
handle open canisters
and aren't at risk of
exposure to fluid
waste. Once filled, the
mobile units are
moved to a docking
station, which auto-
matically empties the
contents directly into
the sewer system. It's
an efficient and clean
way to manage fluid
waste.
