“…Another study on hospital pneumatic systems describes a general approach to obtain traffic analysis of pneumatic tube systems [24]. Mavaji et al [25] proved that hospital pneumatic conveying systems save manpower and time, and these systems are more suitable for vertical structures. As seen in the literature, studies on HPS are very limited, and a comprehensive and effective mathematical model has not been encountered yet.…”

Hospital Pneumatic Systems, specializing in pneumatic systems, are among the most essential components for hospitals. It offers efficient and cost-effective solutions to problems related to the transportation of various materials in hospitals. However, in existing systems, the need for compressed air is met without worrying about cost control and without depending on the sample transported, and this not only makes the system inefficient but also may cause sample degradation. The main purpose of this study is to provide speed/pressure control according to the type of material transported to eliminate the disadvantages of existing systems such as energy use and sample degradation. In this study, a new mathematical model is presented that can be used to make more energy-efficient hospital pneumatic systems. Although there are many studies on various pneumatic systems in the literature, there is not enough for the control of hospital pneumatic systems. According to the results obtained in this study, the system parameters were determined and the mathematical model of the system was obtained by using the Multivariate nonlinear regression method. A genetic algorithm was used to test the validity of the obtained mathematical model and to optimize the coefficient of the input parameters of the model. It is expected that this proposed model will contribute to the use of hospital pneumatic systems and provide a scientific and practical solution to the proposed mathematical model. The proposed mathematical model provides up to %43 more efficient transportation over the currently used system that has been tested.

“…Lastly, a computer is also present at the pneumatic tube control center. The pneumatic system and its operational diagram are illustrated in Figure 1 and 2 (5,8). In the day-to-day operation of the pneumatic tube, there is a high possibility of disturbances arising from procedural error (human error) or interference from the system itself (system error).…”

Pneumatics is a propulsion system which makes use of pressured air. Sixty percent of hospitals utilize this system due its positive benefit in saving transportation time and accuracy. In its implementation, problems may arise from procedural errors (or human errors) and from the PTS system itself (or system error) and are to be evaluated through a risk management. We aimed to determine the occurrence of human and system errors in PTS operation, as well as the risk classification based on the risk criteria scoring at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS) Bandung in January 2018 -December 2019. This research is a cross-sectional descriptiveretrospective observational study. Data was collected from the reports on PTS operational problems within the 2-year period at RSHS. The data was then analyzed and processed using the SPSS 17.0 software, with which we quantified the obtained qualitative data. We found 26 reports of PTS repair, 12 (46.1%) of which were instrument-related (damage to vacuum, LAN, and compressor, as well as system overheat). 9 (34.6%) repairs were resulted from tube problems (jammed or broken caps in the PTS line), 4 (15.4%) were caused by damage to PTS pipes and line, and 1 (3.9%) by damage to the supporting spare parts. The best approach of prevention is to regularly change the instrument and tubes, manually deliver the samples, better manage the PTS personnel, and provide personal protective equipment. The recorded damage to the PTS system at RSHS was entirely caused by system errors. There was also a human error aspect in the tube shipping but it was not recorded.
