Red Bag Solutions' SSM technology meets every one of these standards- A claim that can be made by no other technology.

The SSM is a hardware/software system designed to safely, efficiently, and effectively dispose of infectious medical waste at the point of generation.

It measures approximately 9.5 feet (2.89 meters) in length by 7.25 feet (2.10 meters) high by 4 feet (1.22 meters) wide and weighs approximately 3,500 pounds (1588 kg). An accompanying filter-separator, utilized to de-water the processed solids, measures 3 feet (.9 meter) by 2 feet (.6 meter) and weighs an additional 350 pounds (159 kg).

By exposing "red bag" waste to superheated water and steam (272°F / 133°C) and simultaneously employing a proprietary cutting system, the SSM renders infectious medical waste non-infectious, non-hazardous, and non-recognizable. Once processed through the SSM, infectious medical waste can be discarded as ordinary municipal trash.

SSM technology turns this... ...infectious medical waste...

Into this...      ...easily disposable sterile shredded material.

Healthcare facilities utilizing this technology to dispose of their infectious waste enjoy the following benefits:

• Significantly lower disposal costs and control of future costs.
• Reduced liability - less handling, less transport, less reliance on third party disposal options.
• Reduction in administration and reporting tasks associated with off site disposal by eliminating medical waste tracking.
• Waste minimization by dissolving degradables, sterilizing infectious materials and liquids, and reducing the volume of solid waste by 90% or more.
