Our pneumatic tube carriers come in three models to safely and reliably transport lab specimens, blood products, pharmaceuticals, documents, supplies and other materials within your hospital's pneumatic tube system. Solid and durable, each easy-open carrier guarantees secure and gentle transport, no matter what material you send. Choose one type or send and receive them all.
TranspoNet Carriers feature Velcro® bands for durability and stability while they are in transit in the TranspoNet pneumatic tube system. All of our impact-resistant, break-proof carriers are designed with a transparent body.
This robust tube offers a long lifecycle and low replacement costs. It’s available in different diameters and lengths.
Lids are designed for automated loading and unloading – for example with the TranspoNet Pneumatic Tube Station OpenLog – helping to increase productivity and speed workflows along.
Carriers prevent accidental spills and the potential spread of pathogens from blood samples and other biohazards. They’re also easy to open.
A pneumatic tube carrier is a cylindrical, durable container designed to travel through a network of tubes in a hospital infrastructure using air pressure. The carrier is durable, often made from transparent polycarbonate, so medical staff can see the contents. The end of the cylinder has an easy‑to‑opencover that can be color‑coded for department identification. The carriers are fitted with cushioned rubber rings on each end to create a smooth seal and protect contents during travel. Carriers are availalbe in multiple sizes depending on the system and what needs to be transported.
A user places an item inside the carrier, inserts it into an origination station and selects a destination. Carriers are moved through the tube system using differential air pressure. Blowers push or pull air to move the carrier through the tube network.Diverters are used to route carriers through the branch of the system to the correct location. The carrier arrives at the destination station, where it can be removed and reused.
Carriers are used to transport lab and blood samples, infusions, medications, documents, supply material and other critical or sensitive goods through the hospital pneumatic tube system.
We offer three different types of pneumatic tube carriers for our TranspoNet system. Each impact-resistant and break-proof carrier comes in a variety of lengths.
Standard
Our most popular carrier with a long lifecycle and low replacement cost. Length selection
SmartOpen
Carrier that automatically loads and unloads materials that work with our OpenLog pneumatic tube station. Length selection
SmartOpen Inlay
Fixes vacutainers in place in the SmartOpen carrier without additional packaging.
LeakResistant
Carrier with a locking mechanism that is designed to prevent spills. Length size
To ensure long-term durability, the TranspoNet pneumatic tube carriers are made of strong polycarbonate.
Bacteria often survive on surfaces for a long period of time; pneumatic tube carriers are no exception. We recommend cleaning the carriers regularly to avoid contamination. The carriers can either be hand-wiped inside and out with a suitable disinfectant or conveniently cleaned in an industrial dishwasher.
The service life of a pneumatic tube carrier depends, of course, to a large extent on the frequency of use and the number of kilometers traveled. As a general rule, check pneumatic tube carriers regularly and replace them if necessary. During this check, pay particular attention to functioning closure mechanisms and intact Velcro straps. Cracks in the transparent body and damaged sealing rings also indicate signs of wear.
The LeakResistant carrier is equipped with a special closing mechanism, including a seal, which reduces the leakage of spilled liquids. If transported liquids, for example blood, break during transport, the LeakResistant carrier provides additional leakage protection. This prevents contamination from entering the pneumatic tube system and its components.
Yes, up to five different colors are available depending on the type of carrier chosen.
Using different carrier colors allows each department in the hospital to be assigned a clearly recognizable color.
