What is Hospital and Bio-Hazardous Waste?
- Lab waste such as specimens or cultures, stocks of infectious agents, live and
attenuated vaccines, and culture mediums.
- Human surgery specimens, human or animal parts or tissues removed
surgically or by autopsy.
- Contaminated animals such as animal carcasses, body parts and bedding
contaminated with diseases that can be spread to humans.

- Blood and Body Fluids which are dripping or capable of being poured or spilled
and items visibly soiled with blood.
- Waste from patients with infectious diseases isolated by Infection Control.
These patients should be isolated and identified as needing special waste disposal. http://www.dhs.ca.gov/medicalwaste/
- Trace Chemotherapy Wastes which are contaminated through contact with or
having previously contained chemotherapy agents, such as gloves, disposable
gowns, or IV bags.
- Pharmaceuticals waste that is hazardous only because it is comprised of pharmaceuticals.

- Sharps such as syringes, needles, blades, scalpels, lancets, broken glass and
any other contaminated sharp object. http://www.dhs.ca.gov/medicalwaste/

Why Hydromed?
Hydromed, a hydromex related technology system, is one of the few technologies
that completely destroys and converts hospital and bio-hazardous waste. In
the completely enclosed system, waste is converted into safe materials for
disposal at a considerable cost savings to hospitals. This nonincineration,
chemical additive process is safe to humans as it uses a combination of basic
household chemicals found in retail stores around the world. It has taken
nearly 22 years and more than 10 international scientists to develop this
breakthrough technology.
How does it work?
Red Bag and other Bio-hazardous waste is placed into the Hydromed loading bin that lifts waste into the elevated receiving hopper. Once full, the hopper drops waste into a specially designed shredder that grinds all waste, including sharps, into fine particles. In this process, ozone is introduced to pre-neutralize against harmful pathogens. Next, the pulverized material is fed into a mixer along with
an appropriate amount of hydromex proprietary reagent solutions. The hydromex reaction takes place in the mixer over a number of minutes converting metals to nitrate and calcium while killing all bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Finally, sterilized, converted material is used to bind with concrete to produce volume reduced product for normal waste disposal. The neutralized product is
environmentally safe and it will not leach in open landfills over time.
