MTX Contracts has completed the installation of new mortuary body stores at Macclesfield General Hospital.
A fully enclosed walkway was also installed so the manoeuvring of bodies during collection and delivery times was not compromised.
The new facility consists of two large 12 body fridges, one deep freeze three body freezer and two small three body fridges to allow for isolation, if required.
All of the new rooms incorporate audio and visual alarms and link to a purpose-built control panel situated in the adjacent plant room. Provision was made to link the system to the hospital BMS system via volt free contacts.
The facility also offers improved HASAW lifting and handling issues for the staff working within the department. New racking and body trays were positioned with this in mind, along with a new fully automated trolley.
The full installation was completed within a three week on site period, causing the client minimal disruption on site and adhered to NHS specifications C10 and C10a.
