1 The future of medical waste management Clinismart Laparosmart Cytosmart Reduces risk of pathogen transfer Minimises use of plastic bags Improves aesthetics Enhances waste segregation Improves hazardous waste security

2 Clinismart for clinical waste Laparosmart for laparoscopic resource recovery Cytosmart for cytotoxic waste The smarter way to manage medical waste The reusable Clinismart, Laparosmart and Cytosmart systems set new standards in hygiene, convenience, environmental effectiveness and provides solutions to logistical challenges and, of course, are fully compliant. Evolved from the industry-leading Sharpsmart system, the user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing systems deliver a revolutionary advancement in the field of clinical, laparoscopic and cytotoxic waste collection. Reduced potential for pathogen transfer Using a foot-pedal opening mechanism means hand contact with the collector is not required. Clinismarts are also delivered freshly sanitised, thereby reducing the potential for pathogen transfer that may exist with standard medical waste containers. Once full, each container is removed from your premises, emptied, and then subjected to a rigorous 6-stage wash and sanitisation process. This process is so effective that it removes a 6-log blood-suspension of pathogens - a very high level of decontamination! Reduced waste through improved waste segregation The reusable systems will help you make a significant waste reduction impact. Clear labelling, education and the easily identifiable design of the collectors encourage better waste segregation because the collectors are far less likely to be used for general waste, resulting in fewer bin exchanges. Optimised space The compact, clean design is less intrusive in the clinical setting and helps optimise space usage in high demand waste areas like utility rooms and loading docks. Reusable system that s eco-friendly The systems are reusable thereby eliminating the cost and environmental impact of plastic rubbish bags. The eco-friendly wash process, Washsmart, uses a fully automated wash system that recycles water to minimise environmental impact. Time saving The compact design allows the collectors to be located at the point of waste generation, eliminating the need to transfer waste to larger bins after disposal. Easy to use transportation trolleys allow for simpler, more efficient movement of the collectors by environmental services staff. Cost-effective There are also a range of cost efficiencies. For example, the clear colour coding of the collectors, combined with clear labelling, discourages staff and patients from using them for general waste disposal. This ensures that you are not paying waste disposal premiums for general waste. In addition, more efficient logistics resulting from the compact design and transportation accessories reduces the workload on environmental services staff. PLEASE NOTE: Loose sharps are not to be placed in these collectors. Sharps must be placed in suitable sharps containers.

3 Finally someone has found a way to get unsightly mobile garbage bins out of hospital wards

6 A convenient, hygienic, ecological system In one clean sweep, the Clinismart, Laparosmart and Cytosmart systems offer convenience, ecological soundness and remove a potential source of pathogen transfer. What the experts say The new Clinismart system encourages positive waste segregation and improves waste handling logistics throughout our facility space efficiency gains in our Utility and Waste room are a huge bonus. Tim Milner, Environmental Services Manager Ramsay Hospital, North Shore Private The Washsmart cleaning process was independently tested by coating Clinismart bins with 6-log blood-suspensions of Staph. aureus and E. faecalis. On swabbing them after the wash, no challenge organisms were detected - this is a very high level of decontamination.
