Every year in the UK 75 million surgical instruments need to be pre-cleaned to remove tenacious contaminates prior to automated washing. Until now that has been a manual process, where staff wear full PPE to protect against contaminated sharp instruments and aerosols. It's dangerous, back breaking, time consuming, expensive, environmentally damaging, labour intensive, difficult work.
The Tiny Air automated system almost entirely eliminates the need for manual pre-cleaning.Tiny Air have developed an automated system to pre-clean a set of surgical instruments in 2 minutes. The system uses cold water only, no detergent, eliminates contaminated aerosols, reduces hazards and protects workforce, reduces rewash, integrates into decontamination unit workflow, helps to prevent Hospital Acquired Infections improves cleaning efficacy and efficiency, increasing sterile services production ad capacity.

DiagOp aims to map laboratory demand and reduce cost by identifying unwarranted service demand. We also aim to discover if the reduction of unwarranted demand could lead to improved service quality and reduce pressures on diagnostic services without buying cheaper products and creating an overall net zero effect. This will also be used to identify if the optimised selection to diagnostic test improves diagnostic accuracy and shortens the patient’s pathway.

“Show me your meds please” is a new model of care asking a simple screening question, during routine home visits by community staff, and provides the potential for massive reduction in medicines waste with subsequent environmental and cost saving benefits, along with improved individualised patient care.
