The transportation of chemical samples in hospitals

It is of vital importance to handle the storage and transportation of chemical samples with the utmost care. This is where the professional, high quality air tube applications of Telecom Tubesystems play an important role. Safe and solid transportation is needed to ensure that the chemical sample remains unimpaired. This way, chemists are able to process every chemical sample with accuracy. This way, the right treatment for every patient is ensured.

Telecom Tubesystems has worked with chemists and laboratory personnel from all over the world to streamline the way chemical samples are being handled in hospitals and laboratories. But because not one hospital or laboratory is the same, Telecom Tubesystems wants to ensure that every solution fits its environment. This is done by talking to the people that work with the air tube application every day: the hospital staff. By asking them the right questions every system is made solely for their organization.  

Why choose Telecom Tubesystems as your partner for tube systems?

Personnel no longer has to run errands to get a chemical sample from point A to B.

• Safe and reliable

The risk of contamination is reduced to a minimum with the installation of a pneumatic tube system.

• An improvement in capacity

Automating the process of sending and receiving a synthetic sample via a tube system leaves the possibility of developing capacity in other fields, such as surgery or research.

• Fast and easy

Carriers are designed to transport chemical noiseless and efficient with zero air resistance. Each station has empty carriers available to send all chemical samples immediately.

• User friendly

The interface of our pneumatic tube systems is designed to be user-friendly and easy to use for all hospital employees. Whether a nurse needs to send a chemical sample to another floor, or a laboratory assistant needs to transfer the actinic sample from the lab to surgery.

an air tube application: How does it work?

Hospital environments are known to be dynamic, run by fast-paced personnel with the best patient care in mind. Therefore, in order to keep up with this environment, tube transportation systems need to be, as mentioned above: reliable, safe and quick. But how does the tube system work?

1. First of all, a pneumatic tube system consists of a network of tubes connected via several stations such as transfer- or receivingstations.
2. At these stations several carriers are made available for all hospital staff, such as doctors or nurses. These carriers can be used to send and receive chemical samples securely, efficient noiseless and above all accurate.
3. These carriers are located at the stations, which are situated in carefully chosen, strategic locations inside the medical center, for example: the laboratory, pharmacy, surgery room or clinic.

For example: When a nurse has a chemical sample she wants to send to the doctor who is on call, two floors up. The nurse places the actinic sample inside the carrier and places the carrier inside the sending station. Next, the nurse enters the desired location of the synthetic sample and presses send. Now the fully automated tube system takes over: using air to transport the carrier all the way up to the 4th floor in a matter of seconds. Saving the nurse a trip to the 4th floor while minimizing the risk of contamination of the chemical.
