Bed Bugs, transported via wheel chairs, is a common occurance. Most chairs reside beside a person's bed every night which creates ample opportunity. People are often confined to their chair for several hours each day, creating further incentive for Bed Bugs to take up residence right on the chair. It is common to find all life stages on an infested chair. This presents a significant introduction (or re-introduction) risk for many types of facilities. We have found Bed Bugs transported to and from: dialysis centers, physical therapy offices, cardiologists centers, nursing homes, day programs, general practitioners offices, government assistance offices, hospitals, dentist offices, Soup kitchens, Churches, Group homes, And more. As a general rule, the simpler the chair, the easier it is to treat and disinfect with a product like Sterifab or with a vault heat treatment. Motorized Chairs increase the complexity. It may take more than an hour to strip and treat/sanitize a single chair. If you are treating for Bed Bugs in any facility that caters to wheel chair bound people, you must include those chairs in your treatment protocol. #ipm #pestcontrol #pestmanagement #bedbug #hospitality #perimetek

Safety Standards and Regulations in Hospital Furniture Manufacturing In the realm of healthcare, safety is paramount, and hospital furniture plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe and efficient environment. Ensuring that hospital furniture meets stringent safety standards and regulations is essential for protecting both patients and healthcare staff. ► Adhering to National and International Standards Hospital furniture manufacturers must comply with a variety of national and international standards. In India, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) provides guidelines specific to medical furniture. These standards cover aspects such as material strength, stability, and infection control, ensuring that furniture can withstand the rigorous demands of healthcare settings. Internationally, standards set by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are also widely adopted. These guidelines ensure that furniture is designed to minimize risks, such as tipping hazards and sharp edges, and that the materials used are safe and non-toxic. ►Designing for Safety and Functionality Safety in hospital furniture is not just about compliance; it’s about thoughtful design. Ergonomically designed furniture helps reduce the risk of injuries for healthcare staff, while features like anti-bacterial coatings and easy-to-clean surfaces help maintain a sterile environment. Additionally, furniture designed with rounded edges and secure fittings minimizes the risk of accidents. ►Ensuring Durability and Stability Durability is another critical aspect of hospital furniture. High-quality materials and robust construction are essential to ensure that furniture can endure frequent use and cleaning without compromising safety. Stability is also crucial, particularly for beds, chairs, and tables that support patients. Features like reinforced frames and non-slip feet enhance stability, reducing the risk of accidents. ►Continuous Improvement and Innovation The field of hospital furniture is constantly evolving, with ongoing research and innovation aimed at enhancing safety. Manufacturers are increasingly incorporating smart technology, such as automated adjustments and real-time monitoring, to improve functionality and patient safety. Innovations in materials science are also leading to the development of lighter, stronger, and more sustainable furniture options.
