And from the Shandong Xuri Cleaning Equipment Company comes this….

The Intelligent Cleaning Nurse.

1). Help patients dispose urinal and feces automatically, and open corresponding working mode to suck the feces into collection barrel automatically and do deodorization at the sametime.
2) Clean with warm water, dry with warm air, sterilization with anion automatically.
3) After installing the shower head,it can help patients to clean skin.
4) Intelligent clean nurse adopts the international advanced microchip control technology. Equipped with photoelectricity and electric capacity auto-induction control system; tri-switch protection, hi-tech catalyst deodorization,6-gear water temperature adjustment,3-gear warm air drying, luxurious Chinese language LCD screen.
5) It is very convenience that you can choose remote control or automatic,manual operation mode.

 

I cant believe we don’t have these bad-boys all over the hospital. What is wrong with our health system?
Its got photoelectricity and electric capacity auto-induction for cripes sakes! And 3 gear warm air drying.
THAT’S …3 GEARS PEOPLE!

Although the ‘manual operation mode?’ ….er……..I think most patients will pass on that one (True….not all).

Also available in a rather intimidating (and one would imagine slightly uncomfortable) built-in-bed model:

 

Seriously, this definitely appears to be a legitimate medical device (click through the top link and check it out) and although I have seen a few fecal drainage  arrangements, I have never seen anything like this. Anyone have any hands-on experience with something similar?

  1. Love it – where could we get these to add to our website? Rob is right, need to see some testing on this one and patients reactions to it as well.

  2. Hmm doesn’t that look like a giant lobster claw coming out of your bed aimed right at your genitals? I think that might be a hard sell to the guys who get squeamish with anything that looks vaguely threatening get too close to that region.

  3. While it does seem “very convenience” I’m thinking the luxurious Chinese language LCD screen may hamper things here in the United States

  4. I think we all know what this means, ROAD TRIP! We definitely need to do some consumer testing, and business case building. I think these, as well as some built in bed massagers is exactly what every patient needs!

    Cheers,
    Rob

  5. It sounds like “News from the Moon”, we (in Hungary) don’t even have a working bedpan washer…

  6. Hmmmm, water, electronic equipment and close proximity to genitals. Sounds fun. Excuse me Mr Smith while I suck up your faeces, and deodorize your bum with this orange monster worm contraption, it’s ok, there’s a luxurious Chinese LCD display telling us what to do. Then if you’re lucky we’ll fit the shower head, then the real fun begins.

    PMSL!

    • John said: It’s not a failure of leadership but a plan to destabilize our medical system and fully privatize it. No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing. No, you won’t read that...

    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.
