Technology & Services

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, practitioners are consistently seeking ways to make their operations more efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly. Medical waste management is a crucial area where these improvements can make a significant impact. That’s where OnSite and our TE-5000 system come into play.

What is the TE-5000?

The TE-5000 is a game-changing, desktop-sized device that empowers healthcare providers to take control of their medical waste in-house. Designed to be as straightforward as possible, the TE-5000 streamlines waste management in an easy-to-use and compact form, allowing you to sterilize your medical waste with just the push of a button​1​.

Advanced Sterilization Process

The TE-5000 sterilizes medical waste through an advanced thermal heat process, rendering the contents non-infectious. This process transforms both sharps and red bag waste into non-infectious, solid waste through the application of dry heat at temperatures between 350-400°F​1​.

Efficiency and Compliance

Not only does the TE-5000 system ensure safe sterilization, but it also enhances efficiency. Its smart system constantly monitors and controls itself as waste is processed, completing the sterilization cycle in approximately three hours with a disposal capacity of one gallon​1​.

What’s more, the TE-5000 sends all required documentation for compliance to our cloud-based system, eliminating the need for physical manifests and binders and simplifying the compliance reporting process​1​.

Proven Efficacy and Safety

The TE-5000’s sterilization process has been validated in independent performance tests conducted at several universities and laboratories, demonstrating a minimum 99.9999% kill criteria for various organisms​1​. Furthermore, the system meets all emissions requirements, including the EPA’s test standard for bacteria-free emissions. Its dual filtration system virtually eliminates odor and serves in a redundant safety capacity​1​.

Revolutionizing Medical Waste Management

By transforming medical waste into non-infectious solid waste, the TE-5000 allows for safe disposal in regular trash, thus reducing the need for specialized waste disposal services. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize medical waste management, reducing reliance on hauling service providers and providing waste segregation training and volume reduction practices​2​.

Conclusion

Innovation is at the heart of OnSite’s mission, and the TE-5000 system exemplifies this. With our technology, healthcare providers can streamline their medical waste management, ensuring safety, compliance, and environmental sustainability. Embrace the future of medical waste management today with OnSite’s TE-5000 system.
