For health care professionals, the field of human waste is full of problems, and the most important of these is the potential of cross-infection from patient to patient or patient to nurse.

Traditional methods for coping with human waste often involve reusable plastic sliders and automatic washing machines that disinfect them using chemicals or heat.

In contrast, clinical studies today acknowledge the limitations of these systems to a great extent when they assess whether they are an effective method of controlling the risk of cross-infection.

Studies conducted by public hospitals and infection control specialists in the UK demonstrate that the ability of common and harmful microorganisms to survive during washing processes, where slider washing machines are used, is at the alarming levels. In tests conducted at the Withington Hospital in the UK, it was observed that the sliders carried vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) against processing in washing machine. It was observed that the closed interior side of the washing machine also contained VRE. Microbiologists at the Newcastle Regional Public Health Laboratory have found that the heat resistance of four species of enterococcus faecium gives them the ability to survive in slider washing machines. It has emerged that heat resistance of enterococci species is one of the main causes of nosocominal infections, and studies clearly indicate that these organisms have the potential to spread both between and within hospitals.

European regulations require weekly, quarterly and annual tests of all slider-duck washing machines used in hospitals to protect personnel against the existing risk of injury due to aerosols, steam or hot surfaces arising from washing machines.
Infection control specialists in the UK and other developed countries have been aware of the hygienic limitations of slider-duck washing machines for years. Most of today's hospitals in the UK and developed countries are switching to an alternative system to cope with human waste.

"Human Waste Disposal Management System" has created a revolution in nursing practices.
It is used in 85% of the UK hospitals and in more than 100 countries in the world (including Turkey).

"Human Waste Disposal Management System" is a system in which disposable, pulp-made sliders and ducks are disposed of with a grinder instead of reusable slider-duck washing machines. This waste grinding unit mixes the waste containers made of paper pulp with water, turns it into a fluid state and sends to the hospital's sewer system without the worry of clogging in any waste pipe. Disposable containers are obtained by recycling papers such as newspapers etc. and they do not contain any chemicals. With this feature, the "Human Waste Disposal Management System" offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the chemical disinfectants used in duck-slider washing machines.

The "Human Waste Disposal Management System" uses only cold water, therefore, its operating cost is lower than the washing machines that use heat provided through electrical energy and the steam to disinfect. Comparative tests performed to determine the costs of switching from a reusable system to a disposable system revealed that the energy savings and the savings in nursing service time exceedingly covered the purchase cost of the disposable system and proved to be the least costly system for the disposal of patient waste.
