UltraSAFE is an innovative instrument for biospecimens which allows OR personnel and Perioperative Nurses to handle specimens in complete safety, with no exposure to formalin fumes. Through the one-way valve lid, UltraSAFE automatically dispenses formalin into specimen buckets utilizing an automatic injection system. The buckets are filled in an enclosed and vented chamber that eliminates operator exposure to formalin fumes. Formalin is dispensed based on specimen weight and specific lab guidelines.
Time to fixation, specimen weight, and exact formalin quantity are recorded on a printed label to ensure standardized documentation.
Operator Protection Against Formalin Exposure
UltraSAFE eliminates formalin exposure and allows operators to handle specimens in complete safety, as the unit automatically dispenses formalin into dedicated buckets in a closed and vented chamber.
In addition, the UltraSAFE buckets feature a unique one-way safety valve that enables automatic dispensing of formalin and prevents fixative backflow; no operator actions are required.
UltraSAFE achieves zero formalin exposure for formalin fumes and spillages
Standardized Fixative Dispensing
Through automated and controlled fixative dispensing, UltraSAFE allows for standardization of the biospecimen collection step. UltraSAFE features a built-in scale that records the specimen weight at the beginning of the process. Based on the recorded weight, a pre-set amount of fixative is automatically dispensed in the bucket.
Upon completion, a label is printed out from UltraSAFE, recording all the process information.
