Bio Medical Waste Management

Barcode System Based Bio-Medical Waste Management & Tracking

Central Pollution Control Board, under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, has framed the Guidelines and Rules for Bar Code System for Effective Management of Bio-medical Waste.

All hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, pathology labs, medical research, or educational institutions, come under these rules, as per guidelines the biomedical waste collection, segregation, treatment, processing, and their disposal have to be done in an environment-friendly manner.

Every operator of Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) has to establish the bar code system for handling of biomedical waste.

At Jiyyo, we have developed an Android-based mobile app as a barcode solution that meets the requirement of labeling each bag with a unique number, identify the location along with date/time, and track it between source and destination. The system works on real-time data capture, avoids human intervention for data-entry, proper authentication and captures all required information. Such data is immediately available for Reports via web-portal that can be accessed by authorized users in hospitals, authorities, and related staff.
