The SmartSystem transports laboratory specimens, blood products and medical supplies over any hospital campus at a speed of 25 feet per second. This computerized system can be used to upgrade, expand or replace any manufacturer’s pneumatic tube transport technology. It is not dependent on proprietary parts for maintenance.
     The SmartSystem’s computer package provides continuous computation of shortest routes and fastest delivery, visual diagnostics, easy point-and-click operation, and ongoing free software enhancements.
     The durable stations and station panels are customized and user-friendly, with SmartModules and SmartPanels. Additional features include links to peripheral equipment and remote indicators, interchangeable logic boards for diverters, transfer units and blower packages, and time saving automatic empty carrier storage and retrieval.
     Carriers are electronically tracked through the tubing at all times, and can be sent through several buildings safely and reliably.
     The system is upgradeable, and new technologies can be incorporated as they become available.
     This company has patented a leak resistant carrier for safe specimen transport.
     The tube systems are modular and designed for flexibility. They transport a carrier in a direct line, or can have an unlimited number of stations on numerous zones moving simultaneously.
