STERIMED-1 / Sterimed Junior / Stericid
SteriMeds are closed systems designed for on-site processing of
infectious medical waste. SteriMeds shred biomedical waste into
small pieces (reducing the volume by up to 90%) while simultaneously
exposing the waste to a US EPA registered, proprietary chemical
disinfection solution called Ster-Cid®.
The shredded, disinfected solid waste is now simply discarded as
ordinary garbage; the diluted, biodegradable chemical solution is
drained into the sewer system.
The SteriMed is an innovative technology for the on-site treatment
of regulated medical waste.
The SteriMed is an environmentally friendly system that can process
up to 18.5 gal. (70 liters) of conventional medical waste, including
syringes, needles, blades, dialysis filters, bandages, plastic
tubing, and even glass - in a 15 minute processing cycle.

proprietary disinfectant chemical treatment used in the SteriMed
System. The final concentration of Ster-Cid® during the processing
cycle is less than 0.09% of the total volume of liquids. Ster-Cid®
is greater than 90% biodegradable and is registered with the
Environmental Protection Agency and FIFRA, the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, Rodenticide Act. |

The SteriMed System, is a compact medical waste treatment and disposal
system. It is designed for installation in hospitals, clinics, blood
banks, or any other medical facility that produces infectious or
regulated medical waste (RMW). It will treat all types of (RMW)
including but not limited to: syringes, scalpels, dialysis cartridges,
gloves, etc.
The Company’s second product, the SteriMed Junior, provides the same
functionality, but with a smaller size capability. It is well suited for
smaller health/clinical facilities such as dialysis centers,
laboratories and large group practices. It is estimated that the
SteriMed Junior is able to meet the disposal needs of approximately
82,000 facilities throughout the United States.
The SteriMed products offer medical centers a true on-site option for
disposal of infectious or RMW that is cost-efficient, comprehensive,
safe and environmentally friendly. |
