In hospitals, time and efficiency matter a lot. ISO standard baskets and drawers make life easier for healthcare personnel: thanks to their universal compatibility, moving medications and tools is definitely more convenient. In this article we dive into what functions they have and which CFS Italia products meet these standards.
An ISO standard is an international norm created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and defines criteria and guidelines to be followed in different areas to ensure quality, safety, efficiency and compatibility.
ISO standards are designed to help companies, manufacturers and organizations optimize their processes, products and services. Basically, it’s a nice way to ensure that they are reliable and safe.
Specifically, what does this mean for hospital furniture?
When a drawer or basket is created according to the ISO standard, it means that it is designed according to standardized dimensions and characteristics established by the ISO standard for medical devices. This standard ensures that drawers are compatible and interchangeable with other standardized components within the healthcare facility.
For example, ISO standard 3394 describes the standard measurements (600mm x 400mm, with different heights available) for baskets and drawers for carts, furniture as well as cabinets found in healthcare facilities. Simply put: a drawer or basket created according to the ISO standard is a guarantee of compatibility and ease of use. It improves efficiency, organization and safety in healthcare environments.
Baskets and drawers designed in compliance with ISO standards are incredibly versatile. Their size (60×40 cm) makes them interchangeable, keeping everything organized and ready to use.
This modularity is a huge advantage in the hospital environments, where efficiency and quickness are key factors. One example? Medications stored in a cabinet can be easily transferred to a cart or cassette, ready to be taken to the ward without wasting time for re-organization.
That is why ISO baskets and drawers are a great added value:
Baskets and drawers with measurement compliant with ISO standard 3394 are available for a number of CFS ITALIA products, for example:
