CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- AJT & Associates and SAIC will unveil their medical lab and mobile isolation unit to hospital, healthcare organizations and emergency response groups during a preview event on June 10. Mobilis Systems is a modification of an AJT product derived from projects supporting the federal government. The unit is self-contained with proprietary, patented features including a wastewater treatment system, an ozone decontamination and disinfection system and a computerized air-control system.
In today's environment there are a number of concerns ranging from tuberculosis, SARS and Anthrax to a host of other highly contagious diseases. The facilities and tools that are required to properly isolate and treat infected individuals must be safe, effective and affordable for infected individuals, as well as emergency response teams.
"Technologies of this nature have not previously been incorporated into a single unit capable of rapid transportation via ship, plane, or trailer to an area that has suffered an epidemic or contagious disease outbreak," says Alfredo Teran, president of AJT & Associates, a scientific and technical firm headquartered in Cape Canaveral, Florida. "These units present a low-cost alternative to construction of independent facilities with similar isolation, containment and disinfection capabilities."
Mobilis units, which range in price from $150,000 to $350,000, offer organizations numerous configuration options including: medical isolation, analysis and containment of infectious disease; bio/chemical research laboratory; medical diagnostics; morgue; or a WMD/HAZMAT Command, Control and Isolation Facility.
"Through our partnership with SAIC, we built an easy-to-manage system from a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) using AJT's proprietary software," says Teran. "This PLC monitors alarms and issues maintenance messages while the software records environmental and water system performance -- all communicated over secure systems."
Coupled with the extensive capabilities provided by SAIC, we have formed a fully integrated team capable of developing, implementing and maintaining very complex and advanced medical units to our customers.
More than 60 representatives from healthcare organizations from across Florida including HealthFirst, Halifax Medical Center, Wuesthoff, and Parrish Medical Center are expected to attend the unveiling event.
