Medi 64 shielded waste bin

The Medi 64 and Medi 64 PET shielded waste bins are designed for the storage of solid waste contaminated by radionuclides of all energies.

Medi 64 & Medi 64 PET: safe storage

In order to facilitate the decay and sorting of waste according to the energy of the different radioisotopes handled, there are two models of bins. First of all, Medi 64 with a of lead shielding thickness of 10 mm for low and medium energy isotopes. Then, Medi 64 PET with 16 mm lead shielding thickness for high energy isotopes.

With two capacities of 32 L and 65 L for each shielded waste bin model. They can be adapted to all the applications and needs of users. They are capable of receiving the smallest as well as the bulkiest radioactive waste present in nuclear medicine services: gloves, consumables, examination sheets, compresses, etc.

In order to optimise the radiation protection of users and to avoid unnecessary handling, these waste bin models are compatible with the waste boxes with potential infected medical waste (PIMW). Which can be positioned directly in the waste bin with a capacity adapted to their needs. The possibility of partial opening contributes to a significant reduction in exposure for all users in their daily tasks.

The Medi 64 and Medi 64 PET bins are easy to handle using the large stainless steel handle. Inluded on each model, regardless of the selected capacity.

The shielded bins are equipped with four double castors and can be moved around to facilitate their installation in laboratories, radiopharmacies, injection cubicles and examination rooms.

Optimal storage and ease of use

The external painted steel finish makes it easier to clean. In order to guarantee long-lasting resistance, a specific ABS plastic coating was placed in the bottom of the bins at the design stage. It is limiting the corrosion caused by the decontaminating products used by the services.

The two types of openings available, full and partial, provide users with an ergonomic design and radiation protection adapted to their daily needs.

Full opening is possible and assisted by a secure gas cylinder system, which locks the open position to allow effortless replacement of the PIMW bag or box or insertion of bulky waste.

Partial opening is the most commonly used method, and simply requires turning the handle of the swivel window on the lid of the shielded bin. Opening is simple and effortless and the opening amplitude is selected by the user, according to the size of the waste to be stored, while reducing full-body exposure to a minimum. Lockable on request (optional).
