Il. STERILWAVE Technical Presentation:
A range of product adapted to your need :
STERILWAVE is an easy-to-use new generation Biohazardous waste (BHW) treatment system
designed for direct use on waste-producing sites. The operating principle, based on microwave
technology, requir more than a 440V power supply and produces no liquid effluents
whatsoever. Sterilwave decontaminates all solid & liquid waste, including sharp and pointed
surgical equipment. waw.steriiwave.com / www.Bertin.com,

VY STERILWAVE equipment reaches all regulatory standards according to sterilization
efficiency requirement (STAATT Ill) and has been tested by the Pasteur Institute and
validated under the supervision of the French Ministry of Health and Ministry of
Environment ~ French norm NFX 30-503 known as one of the strictest worldwide, The
device is Made in France, has the CE Certificate(European Community). BERTIN
TECHNOLOGIES is certified ISO 9001 - 2008.
Y The process and concept based on microwave technology with pre-shredding is
recognized and recommended has one of the most efficient solution for onsite
‘management by the World Health Organization.
¥ After being very thin grinded and heated up by microwave, final waste are dry & inert
and can be managed as regular municipal waste.
The Grinding and the sterilization are in the same vessel
¥ STERILWAVE is approved and recommended by numerous International Institutions
and Organizations 2s an efficient system reaching all environmental requirement and
without any environment impact or liquid effluent rejection.

11.1.1, First Step: Weighting / Loading
‘An electronic weighting system calculate and record the weight of the waste going to be
proceed in order to track all operations of the process.
For the SW440 : Loading can be made
> Dropping the waste bags manually.
> Automatic with a container lift option)
For the SW250 , loading is made manually (loading height : 130 om)

1.4.2. Second step : Grinding
‘After closing the safety door of the vessel, the operator launch the automatic process. All kind of
healthcare waste (solid, soft, cutting, performant, glass, plastic, bandage, dialysis...). Very thin
grinding by rotating blades up to 1500 RPM during 5 to 7 min. The temperature is rising up to
70°C with the friction of the blades with a volume reduction of the waste up to 85%. Waste are
very thin and unrecognizable.

Waste are exposed to a temperature over 100 °C by HF generator ( micro-wave), and
maintained at this temperature during 20 min in order to sterilize the waste
“The process and the results have been tested by Pasteur Institute and IRM under the
‘supervision of the French Ministry of Health to validate the sterilization efficiency of the
Sterilwave device (according to the norm NFX-30503 and intemational recommendation
regarding alternative technologies STAATT). The Results are a Microbial inactivation
over 8log10.

11.4.4. Fourth step : Unloading
At the end of the cycle the treated waste are unload automatically in a container located at the
bottom of the device. The trap door of the vessel is opening and the treated waste are
transferred automatically.( waste are pushed out by the rotating blades)

The entire STERILWAVE process is controlled by a PLC. The Software monitor manages the
waste treatment cycle , assuring all time and temperature parameters required for treatment ,
and the safety of systems
The system ensure a full racking of each cycles.
> Printed ticket after each cycle
> A daily record with all operations done can be collected with a SD memory card.
> STERILWAVE can be connected through an IP address to track from a distance the
production and the maintenance operations.
> The software language is customisable up to the end-user preference.
The Healthcare Waste Management device STERILWAVE reach the international
requirements and regulatory standards regarding alternative solution to incineration
