Traditional methods of lifting patients can often result in workplace injuries for staff. Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital (HDGH) in Windsor, Ontario, has been able to reduce injuries through the implementation of the HoverMatt air transfer system.

HDGH Occupational Health & Safety Manager, Mike Roberts said;

“Over a six-month period in 2010, for example, 11 out of 15 workplace injuries among Diagnostic Imaging staff at HDGH were due to patient handling and transferring, 10 of which required medical intervention, resulting in 80 days of lost staff time.”

Disinfection Equipment Rebate Program

“The R³ Program”

REDUCE. REPLACE. REBATE.

MANAGE YOUR RISK WITH THE R3 PROGRAM

ArjoHuntleigh’s R3 Program offers an ideal opportunity for you to replace your aging bedpan washing equipment to reduce the risks that exist today.

Is your old bedpan washer:

1) Manufactured previous to 2006?

2) Compliant to ISO15883?

3) Producing consistent cleaning results?

4) Creating unpredictable downtime?

5) Costing you more to maintain or repair?

6) Requiring you to pre-empty bedpans?

Are you concerned about:

1) Infection levels within your facility?

2) Cross-contamination between patients?

3) Costs of nosocomial infections?

4) Validation of all disinfection cycles?

REDUCE. Reducing risk is essential to the health of your staff, patients and your hospital. New and well-maintained equipment, complete with compliance to current ISO or CAN/CSA standards, reduces the risk of cross-contamination, and resultant costs of infection, repair, downtime, & inefficiencies.

REPLACE. Replacing your aging and under-performing bedpan washer with modern solutions will improve cleaning and disinfection efficacy and when combined with optimal hand hygiene and environmental cleaning, will help to continuously break the chain of infection. It is a simple replacement operation when incoming water lines, drains and electrical service are already available.

There is no better time to consider updating your bedpan washing equipment.

“The R³ Program” rewards you with a significant rebate for qualified washer disinfector replacement.

REBATE. Enjoy a $1000 rebate on qualifying purchases of replacement bedpan washer disinfectors between November 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011. Purchase conditions apply, talk to your ArjoHuntleigh Representative today for complete details.

To be eligible, all orders must be received on or before December 31, 2011.

ArjoHuntleigh builds infection control into their complete spectrum of solutions. Take advantage of this rewarding Rebate Program before December 31, 2011. Contact your ArjoHuntleigh representative today to discuss your current disinfector equipment needs.
