Healthcare

Sloan, a pioneer in sustainable solutions for commercial restroom installations, strengthens the operations of the Zumpango Regional High Specialty Hospital. Thanks to the integration of its technology, the facility achieves water and energy savings, consolidating sustainability, innovation, and prestige in every project.

Sloan fixtures at the Zumpango Hospital have optimized water consumption while providing comfort and efficiency through their practical design and high quality. Sustainability has been a key factor from the hospital’s construction to its daily operation. The use of efficient technology contributes to environmental care, positioning the hospital as a benchmark in sustainable infrastructure.

Consistently ranked among the top healthcare providers in the U.S., Inova Health System wanted to combine its Women’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital in one central building expansion on the Inova Fairfax Medical Campus.

Energy efficiency and a more “spa-like” aesthetic for patients were paramount to the building design, which aims to achieve LEED Silver certification for its January 2016 opening. With their superior water-saving technology and proven reliability, Sloan flushometers were an easy choice to make for the hospital’s patient and public restrooms, as well as for its clinical sinks.

Private haven

The hospital’s new $430 million expansion project offers private rooms in a world-class environment for patient care that integrates a streamlined look from Sloan Regal® BPW-1150 Bedpan Washer flushometers.

Making sustainability easy.

G2 Optima Plus® 8111 and ECOS® 8186 urinals in the public restrooms help the hospital achieve LEED Silver certification.

Peak performance

Royal® 117 Service Sink flushometers ensure clinical areas throughout the hospital flow smoothly.

Elmhurst Hospital had a simple goal—they didn’t want it to feel like a hospital. Architectural design firms Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and Pratt Design Studio, together with Korda/Nemeth Engineering were tasked with reimagining a new $450 million health care campus that incorporated high-tech, comprehensive care with a home-like appeal.

The result was an 866,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art acute health care facility redesigned for patient-centered comfort inside and out. The contemporary Prairie-style design included thoughtful details like libraries and kitchens, all with abundant natural light. Sloan products were the perfect fit for both the facility manager’s maintenance goals as well as the architects’ vision. In fact, Sloan products are prominent throughout the new hospital in the public and private patient restrooms, giving added value to the hospital system’s tagline, “Healthy Driven.”

Fresh and Clean

The new 295 private, same-hand patient rooms were designed for comfort and safety—of the patients as well as hospital staff. Sloan Royal® Slimline® Bedpan Washing system answered the call by giving nurses a more sanitary, efficient way to clean bedpans without the unwanted backsplash. The Royal Slimline system eliminates the need for unsanitary hose sprays, which require extra housekeeping and pose a slippage danger to patients.

A Healthier Flush

The hospital recognizes that family plays a big role in patients’ health, even providing overnight accommodations that make it easier for family to be with their loved ones. As a result, restrooms must hold up to a high volume of daily users. Sloan Royal ESS sensor exposed flushometers have automatic, hands-free flushing that helps control the spread of infectious diseases. They require little maintenance thanks to an effective electronic system that assures years of dependable, trouble-free operation. Plus, many of its internal components are identical to the manual Royal flushometer that has been trusted for more than a century.

Go with the Flow

Architects added to the convenience factor by choosing hygienic Optima® automatic faucets (ETF610), which feature splash-proof control modules and LED service indicator lights for easier maintenance. Patients need only place their hands under the faucet head to activate water flow, allowing their nurse or caregiver to support them more easily. The faucet's clean lines and chrome-plated finish added a sleek vibe to the hotel-like design.

Founded 125 years ago, Becton Dickinson (BD) is a leading global medical technology company and has dedicated more than a century to driving medical discovery through the development of services, solutions, and innovative technology to advance clinical therapy for patients and clinical processes for healthcare providers.

BD has around 70,000 associates in 50 countries around the world, including Mexico, who are in constant collaboration with their clients and partners to improve results among medical personnel, in addition to reducing the cost of health services, which translates into an improvement in the economy and increases the population's access to this vital care.

Resource Care

At BD, sustainability has become an essential issue, as one of the company’s main objectives is to generate and promote environmental health, which is why they have sought to implement relevant technology in their projects such as solar heaters, automated lighting systems for electric power savings, as well as water flow controls and water recycling.

Sloan supports BD in caring for the environment with products that facilitate its operation and take maximum consideration of natural resources with reduced water consumption through sensor-activated equipment, as well as stricter sanitary control with the hands-free technology.

Sloan touch-free products help ensure greater hygiene for Becton Dickinson employees. Sensor technology creates fewer touch points in the restroom, which helps reduce the transmission of germs and disease, a key factor in the development and operation of health services.

BD installed Sloan WES-4000 waterfree urinals that use the WES-150 water seal cartridge that helps to eliminate odors.

ETF-800 wall-mounted faucets featuring Bluetooth technology pair with the Sloan Connect™ App for remote monitoring and maintenance and use just 1.9 Lpm. The faucets are coupled with the Sloan XLERATOR® EHD-501 hand dryers in chrome finish with a drying time of 8 seconds. As a sustainable company that prioritizes the environment and the conservation of natural resources, BD has selected products that offer great energy efficiency, while saving thousands of paper towels per year in bathrooms.

The Combo WETS 2452.1303 Sloan ECOS® provides efficiency and water savings thanks to its dual-flush capabilities of 4.2 Lmp or 6.0 Lmp.
