Daschner Bin Liner™ for 1 x 3 Pyxis Cubie® Smart Pocket (17003)

It is estimated that 1 in 20 patients (2 million per year) acquire infections during their stay in a hospital, long term care facility, psychiatric center, hospice or other small facilities. Nosocomial infections from all microorganisms directly cause 19,000 deaths per year and additionally contribute to 58,000 deaths per year. The use of Bin Liners is an excellent way to take a proactive role in infection control and help reduce this problem.

• We've listened to your requests and Health Care Logistics is pleased to announce that Daschner Bin Liners (DBL™) are now available for Pyxis CUBIE® Smart Pockets, one of the most widely used and recognized point-of-use automated medication dispensing systems in the world.
• Pyxis CUBIE® Smart Pockets maximize access, control and efficiency of the medication distribution process and the use of bin liners (DBLs) in conjunction with them is just another way to enhance safety throughout the medication distribution process. Bin Liners provide a more consistent, efficient, and convenient method of maintaining clean CUBIE® Smart Pockets.
• It was found that dirty "traditional drug medication bins" could also harbor potentially harmful microorganisms. As such they may become sites for the transmission of nosocomial infections. (Ask for a free copy of our bin liner study: An Evaluation of Medication Drug Bins as a Potential Source of Nosocomial Pathogens.)
• During the day to day use of CUBIE® Smart Pockets invariably they may become dirty or soiled like traditional medication bins. Underestimated is the interaction of patient care personnel with these CUBIE's. In the course of providing treatment to patients, cross contact with critical, semi-critical and other non-critical patient care items could lead to the incorporation of potential harmful microorganisms that may cause nosocomial infections.
• At best a CUBIE® may receive a simple cleaning. And though this cleaning may remove dirt and some microorganisms, it is not very efficient, and in most cases doesn't completely eliminate them. Lack of adequate cleaning, however, does not hinder the use of the CUBIE® as a container for medication or patient care equipment. More extensive cleaning is time consuming and causes disruption to system use.
• Where CUBIE® Smart Pockets are used Daschner Bin Liners ensure that medication and other patient care equipment that is transported to the patient in a CUBIE® "reliably and repeatedly" keeps the CUBIE® clean and minimizes the risk of nosocomial infections.
• Bin Liners improve patient care by providing a more consistent, efficient, and convenient method of maintaining clean Pyxis CUBIE® Smart Pockets.
• Bin Liner placement eliminates dirty Pyxis CUBIE® Smart Pockets. (pyxis cubie smart pockets not sold by HCL).
• Save Time! No cleaning involved; whenever a liner is soiled it can be disposed of and replaced with another liner.
• Use the CUBIE® Smart Pocket Bin Liner when replenishing product in the unit. Bin Liners allow for easy transport of drug products.
