Decontaminating Hospital Infectious Waste with Iranian-Made Machine
Fatemeh Mohammad Beygi, one of the researchers at the knowledge-based company, which was founded in 1998, said in an interview with Iranian media that their company is operating in the field of producing medical equipment.
“This company started by importing medical equipment and now a number of medical equipment are produced in the company itself and are supplied to hospitals,” she said.
The researcher said that their company has produced oxygen generator and decontaminating and disinfecting machine as two medical equipment they produce.
“The hospital waste disinfector manufactured by this company makes infectious hospital waste safe; if the hospital waste contains infectious substances, it will be safe. Then the disinfected waste will be shredded and will be placed inside separate bags in order to be delivered to the operator (user),” Mohammad Beygi.
Emphasizing that the user will not have any contact with the waste when using the device, she noted, “This machine is an autoclave that makes waste hazardless.”
According to the researcher, some of the machine have been exported to other countries including Spain, while several Iranian hospitals have also received services from their device.
She fruther pointed to oxygen generator device produced in the company, saying, “This device is produced in 300-liter and 600-liter capacities. During the recent Covid-19 pandemic, it was used to supply the oxygen needed by hospitals. Especially, Masih Deneshvari Hospital in the Northern part of the capital city of Tehran which specializes in treating lung-related diseases.”
Saying that the oxygen device is also produced in a clinical type, she added, “In this type, the device was made with a capacity of 10 to 20 liters, which can supply the oxygen needed by two patients at the same time.”
According to Mohammad Beygi, the device can also be employed for industrial uses, especially in the aquaculture that needs to supply oxygen to aquatic animals.
