"Shells" in the Hospital – How Pneumatic Tube Systems Make Items "Fly"
In large general hospitals, thousands of small items must be passed daily between labs, operating rooms, pharmacies, and nursing stations: emergency blood samples need to reach the lab as quickly as possible, urgent drugs must be sent from the pharmacy to the OR, and medical records circulate among departments. Traditional manual delivery relies on nurses or porters walking or using elevators – it consumes manpower and often suffers delays due to elevator congestion.
Pneumatic tube transport systems are designed exactly to solve this problem. Jiangsu Starfire Medical Technology's pneumatic tube system uses compressed air as the driving force, moving carrier cans through a closed pipe network between stations at high speed. The system consists of workstations, pipes, diverters, and other components, forming a sealed network that connects all departments throughout the hospital.
The advantages are clear: speed – transmission rates of 6–8 m/s mean delivery takes only seconds to a few minutes; accuracy – the intelligent management platform enables two-way point‑to‑point delivery, ensuring items reach the designated station; and safety – items travel in a closed pipe, eliminating the risk of loss or contamination during transport.
In practice, the system can transport blood samples, pathology specimens, pharmaceuticals, blood products, reports, documents, and various other small items. It links all departments through a pipeline network, replacing the traditional "people walk" model and dramatically cutting delivery times. For emergency care, those few minutes saved can be critical to patient outcomes.
Beyond efficiency, the system also helps reduce hospital‑acquired infection risks. Items move in sealed pipes, limiting human‑to‑item and item‑to‑item contact – a significant upgrade for transporting infectious materials. Jiangsu Starfire Medical Technology is dedicated to providing professional pneumatic tube solutions that help healthcare facilities improve operational efficiency and service quality.
