Electrical Estates Department
Case Study 2
For:
University Hospital of North Tees,
Stockton
Specifier:
North Tees Hospital Estates
Engineering
The Marshall-Tufflex Bio Trunking Solution was
used for the eleven operating theatres at Derriford
Hospital, Plymouth, an acute general hospital that
is part of Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust.
Installed as part of a strict, on-going process to
control the spread of infection, Odyssey Bio
Trunking was specified by Plymouth Hospitals NHS
Trust’s Electrical Estates department.
Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust has been named as
one of the top performing Trusts in the country.
This Odyssey Bio Trunking installation was part
of an upgrade to the monitoring system, linking
essential patient data during an operation - such as
blood pressure, pulse and heart rates - to a central
information processing unit.
The Theatre Estates department of Plymouth
Hospitals NHS Trust said:
“Odyssey Bio is superb…we’re
very pleased with it. We think it’s a product that is likely
to come to the fore in control of infection, as NHS Trusts
up and down the country tackle the continuing threat of
virulent infectious diseases.”
NorthTees Hospital in Stockton specified Odyssey
Bio trunking for an electrical upgrade to the stroke
ward, to help prevent the spread of infection.
The University Hospital of North Tees is part of
the North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation
Trust and ranks highly in DoH figures for reduction
in MRSA.
North Tees Hospital Estates department liked the
unique curve of the Cat 6 compliant, antimicrobal
containment system and comment:
“Flat surfaces
gather dust and dust gathers bugs so Odyssey’s curved
profile was a big bonus.”
Marshall-Tufflex’s Odyssey Bio is tested to quantitative
standard ISO 22196:2007, which shows the survival
rate of tested bacteria to be less than 0.1%. It will
therefore help to counteract harmful bugs, such as
MRSA, Klebsiella Pneumonia, E-coli and Salmonella,
and help to avoid cross contamination in medical
and other high risk applications when combined
with stringent hygiene routines.
