New Pneumatic Tube System (PTS)
The new Pneumatic Tube System (PTS) connects various departments including the Emergency Department, wards, Operating Theatres, Intensive Care Unit, Laboratory and Pharmacy. It significantly shortens the delivery time for laboratory specimens and drugs, improving patient care. The new PTS is more reliable, capable, and sophisticated, boasting features like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tracking, software-controlled traffic management and the ability to send multiple canisters simultaneously to different destinations. Other benefits include reducing the risk of contamination, increasing operational efficiency and decreasing reliance on human couriers.
The new PTS also includes a “train” that arrives at Paediatric Clinic at regular intervals, greatly impressing our young patients!
Meet the folks behind this successful project!
