- Provides a convenient, safe, and effective solution for immediate response to and management of infectious blood and body fluid spills
Audience:
-
Commonly used in:
-
Hospitals and Large Healthcare Facilities:
- Operating rooms, emergency departments, laboratories, and patient care areas where large fluid spills can occur
- Laboratories:
- Especially those handling large volumes of biological samples or chemicals
- Nursing Homes:
- To manage fluid spills from residents
- Veterinary Clinics:
- Where biological samples or chemical spills might occur
- Schools and Universities:
- Especially in health offices or science labs
Product Description:
-
Fluid Solidifier:
- Like other bulk buckets, it allows users to dispense the exact amount needed for a spill, reducing waste and providing flexibility
-
Contains Chlorine:
-
Chlorine serves to:
-
Deodorize: Effectively neutralizes and controls unpleasant odors associated with blood and body fluid spills
-
Aid in infection control: While primarily for solidification and deodorization, the chlorine contributes to an initial reduction of pathogens in the spill
- Absorption Capacity:
- Capable of solidifying a large amount of liquid, approximately 56 liters of water-based fluid like blood, urine, or saline
-
Stability:
- Generally, shelf-stable and do not have a specific expiration date, provided they are stored in a cool, dry place in their original packaging
Uses and Benefits:
-
Containment of Biohazardous Liquid Waste:
- Primarily used in healthcare settings to solidify liquid waste in collection containers, preventing spills during transport and disposal
-
Reduces Exposure Risks:
- By solidifying potentially infectious blood and body fluids, it minimizes splashing, spraying, and aerosolization
-
Deodorizes Odors:
- The included chlorine effectively controls foul odors associated with bodily fluids, improving the environment during cleanup and waste handling
-
Streamlined Workflow:
- The "drop-in" design and pre-measured packets make the solidification process extremely fast and easy
- Contributes to faster room turnovers in operating rooms and other clinical areas
-
OSHA and DOT Compliance:
- Helps facilities comply with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and DOT regulations for the proper handling and transport of liquid medical waste
- Non-toxic contents:
- The solidifier itself is non-toxic
