Medical Waste Management in the Middle East

Background
 
Medical waste is different from general waste. The management of these wastes is an issue of great concern and importance in view of potential public health risks associated with such wastes. The infectious diseases, viruses, chemical pollution and radioactive substances are extremely dangerous and are regarded as "top danger" and "fatal killer". In order to strengthen the precise management of medical waste, many hospitals in the Middle East countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia decided to combine RFID technology to manage the medical wastes of various hospitals. It ensures that all medical wastes are sorted, transported separately and arrived at designated locations according to regulations for Incineration treatment, etc., avoiding environmental pollution caused by improper management.
 

Challenges
 
  • Due to the large variety of medical waste, different types of medical waste should be disposed of differently, so the garbage needs to be classified and transported separately. There will cause some mistakes by traditional manual classification and identification methods. For example, staff disposes of hazardous wastes by harmless treatment to cause environmental pollution and other issues.
  • Medical waste often causes a risk of cross-infection. Relevant staff needs to stay close to medical waste for identification and classification, which has a high risk of cross-infection.
  • It cannot effectively track and record data during the waste transportation process or inspect every link of garbage disposal. Then medical waste is easily transferred or bought and sold to cause harm.
  • When medical waste is disposed of by mistaken at a certain processing stage, it cannot be prevented and corrected in time, resulting in loss or damage.
 
Solution 

Based on RFID technology, Chainway helps hospitals realize intelligent and precise management of medical waste. The RFID tags are attached to the boxes of the waste to mark the medical wastes packed in different categories, then the relevant staff uses C6000 smart handheld terminal to scan the tags to perform the flows of receiving, processing, put-away and other aspects of the processing work. The information of the medical waste can be quickly obtained and uploaded to the management system in real time. At the same time, it integrates with the application of GPS positioning technology to realize the real-time positioning tracking of transport vehicles, which provides basic information support to relevant regulatory departments.
  

Effects
 
  • Chainway C6000 smart handheld terminal realizes intelligent identification of classified garbage, which not only enhances accuracy, but also shortens the working time of manual identification.
  • The intelligent identification of medical waste reduces the close contact time between workers and garbage, greatly reducing the chance of cross infection for workers.
  • It is of great significance to monitor and manage medical waste in transportation, effectively preventing the misconduct of criminals, and further reducing the possibility of harm to society.
  • The information of each link of medical waste and related persons can be recorded in real time. When there is a problem, it can be contacted for processing.
  • It standardizes the entire process of medical waste disposal and realizes efficient medical waste management.
