A system using disposable papier maché bedpans and urinals in hospital has advantages of ease of handling for the nurse and cleanliness for the patient. Disposal of the bedpans and their contents is by destruction and flushing to waste. Some bacteriological hazards of this process in the Haigh Sluicemaster and J.M.L. Clinimatic machines are assessed, particularly the dispersal of the contents in spray and aerosol during opening, closing, and running the machines. Various safety devices were tested and some deficiencies are discussed.A major defect in the system is the need at present for a bedpan carrier or support which is not disposable and requires cleaning and disinfection. Minor problems include ordering and storing bulky items, possibly the texture of the bedpans themselves, and perhaps the effect of the bulk of paper discharged into the sewage system. At present the system seems unsuitable for use in infectious disease hospitals and has some deficiencies in use in general wards. The improvements suggested would greatly increase its acceptability which should then be completely re-assessed. To this end the examination of improved models using totally disposable bedpans is proceeding.
医院中使用一次性纸浆便盆和尿壶的系统，对护士来说操作方便，对患者而言干净卫生。便盆及其内容物通过销毁和冲入下水道进行处理。对Haigh Sluicemaster和J.M.L. Clinimatic机器在此过程中的一些细菌学危害进行了评估，特别是在机器开启、关闭和运行期间内容物以喷雾和气溶胶形式扩散的情况。测试了各种安全装置，并讨论了一些不足之处。该系统的一个主要缺陷是目前需要一个不可一次性使用的便盆托架或支架，且需要清洁和消毒。小问题包括订购和储存大件物品、可能是便盆本身的质地，以及大量纸张排入污水系统的影响。目前该系统似乎不适用于传染病医院，在普通病房使用也存在一些不足。建议的改进将大大提高其可接受性，届时应进行全面重新评估。为此，正在对使用完全一次性便盆的改进型号进行检查。
