Improper medical supply storage increases the risk of contamination and pathogen growth. Should healthcare professionals and facilities handle or store tools and materials improperly, medical institutions must resterilize equipment or throw out supplies, increasing operational inefficiency and waste. When the integrity of medical supplies is negatively impacted somewhere along the supply chain, ...
The Challenge Originally published in Tablets & Capsules Magazine Capturing and destroying harmful emissions from pharmaceutical processes can be challenging. It’s not because the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are difficult to destroy using catalytic or thermal techniques. It’s because their concentrations can be so high. These process streams raise safety concerns, both ...
The second pharmaceutical company required a single packaged system containing humidification and a cooling system, plus a desiccant dryer, for a blister pack packaging machine. The company requested broad flexibility in environmental control in anticipation of future requirements in the ...
In this private-public partnership, we undertook the development and testing of a portable environmental control system that can create either positive–or negative–pressure isolation environments in an otherwise typical hospital or emergency department room. This Alpha test was designed to determine the ability of the system to ...
The Medical Research Council (MRC) has units based in Uganda and Gambia. These were the chosen countries to introduce a state of the art incinerators to help tackle the Measles and HIV outbreak that plagues millions of people. Client Overview The MRC’s focal point is medical science that will provide life changing improvement to the health systems in both the UK and in Africa. They have ...
UNICEF is working with the National Primary Health Care Development Agency to improve the health care system of Nigeria. They collaborated with Addfield for a trial run of 16 containerised incinerators that were sent to medical facilities in Anambra, Benue, Enugu, Kogi and Kwara. UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation for the safety of children across the globe. They have created ...
Safety is absolutely paramount in the medical industry, with lives literally at stake if something were o go wrong. Regrettably, this was more than reinforced recently following the tragic news of a death of a newborn at a hospital in Sydney, Australia, after it was mistakenly administered nitrous oxide (N2O) instead of oxygen (O2) in July this year. A tragic occurrence of similar circumstance ...

The accuracy of incubator gases within an IVF laboratory plays a major role in the success of IVF programs in any fertility clinic today. Therefore, choosing the right equipment is key. Leading Atlanta, US-based IVF clinic, Reproductive Biology Associates’ (RBA) decision to choose a market-leading solution from Geotech, the G100 portable CO2 analyser has improved its overall success rates ...
There is a large and growing number of fertility clinics throughout the UK, all registered on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) database. Each clinic is carefully monitored and assessed by the HFEA to ensure patients are protected and receive a service of high standard – even the clinic’s ‘Success Rates’ and ‘Inspection Reports’ are ...
Capturing and destroying harmful emissions from pharmaceutical processes can be challenging. It’s not because the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are difficult to destroy using catalytic or thermal techniques. It’s because their concentrations can be so high. These process streams raise safety concerns, both when they’re collected in vents and when they reach the final ...
About the customer An Assisted Reproduction Unit based in the United Kingdom Challenge the customer faced The principal embryologist at the ARU needed an easy-to-use and reliable way of checking that the incubator’s on-board CO2 and temperature monitors could be verified. The Geotech product ARU purchased the Geotech G100 CO2 analyser and use it to demonstrate accurate and repeatable ...
Report in the Medical Gas Association newsletter Consultation with medical gas quality controllers (QCs) to optimise specification has lead to, "A major improvement in portable instrumentation for the analysis of medical gases," according to Ed Doyle QC (MGPS). He reported in the August 2010 issue of the Medical Gas Association (www.mga.org.uk) newsletter on his experience with the new Geotech ...
Assessment of global megatrends — an update Europe is bound to the rest of the world through an enormous number of systems — environmental, economic, social, political and others. ...
The Geotech G100, which measures CO2 from 0-20%, is used to demonstrate accurate and repeatable CO2 readings of the atmosphere inside incubators. In just a few seconds an embryologist is able to take a reading from various incubators, all of which will have a different means of sampling the air inside an incubator, without fully opening the inner door and adversely affecting the environment. It ...
Situation: In 1997, a Zentox ozone cooling water treatment system was specified for water treatment of the hospital’s four 400-ton towers. ...
