QuoteNOVELO Carts: The Custom Solution for Every Healthcare Department
The medical cart is the ultimate mobile workstation. However, an unsuitable cart quickly becomes a source of fatigue, wasted time, and risks to patient safety. Because an emergency department doesn't have the same constraints as a long-term care unit in a nursing home, Farmalis by Mdose designed NOVELO: a range of modular carts, manufactured in France, designed to precisely adapt to the specific requirements of each healthcare department.
For every department, its challenges and its NOVELO solution
The strength of the NOVELO range relies on its standardized architecture (600x400 mm hospital standard), which allows the cart to be configured in multiple ways. Here is how NOVELO addresses the specific challenges of your medical teams.
Nursing Homes & Long-Term Care Units
Department challenges
- Volume: Distributing daily treatments to a large number of residents (sometimes up to 60 people).
- Security: Guaranteeing traceability and preventing medication errors or theft of narcotics.
- Ergonomics: Limiting the weight pulled by nurses during long rounds in the hallways.
The NOVELO response (Distribution & Dispenser)
- High-capacity carts (up to 14 runners) compatible with nominative pillboxes or dispenser boxes.
- Total security: Sliding tambour doors or doors with key locks, or electronic keypad locks.
- Maneuverability: 4 multidirectional swivel castors (Ø 125 mm) with low friction to reduce pushing effort, paired with a full wrap-around bumper base.
Emergency & Intensive Care Units (ICU)
Department challenges
- Responsiveness: Every second counts. Resuscitation equipment must be instantly accessible.
- Visibility: The need to check at a glance that the cart is fully stocked and ready for use.
- Robustness: The cart undergoes rapid movements and frequent impacts.
The NOVELO response (Crash Cart)
- Single-use breakaway seal closure: Ensures the cart is intact while allowing immediate opening by simply breaking the seal during an emergency.
- Integrated vital accessories: Swivel mount for a defibrillator, CPR (cardiac massage) board on the back of the cart, and a telescopic IV pole.
- Drawers, coloured label holders and compartments: For instant visual identification of critical equipment (intubation, injection, pediatrics).
General Medicine, Surgery & Wound Care
Department challenges
- Versatility: Transporting a wide variety of consumables (compresses, syringes, disinfectants).
- Hygiene: Preventing nosocomial infections with easy-to-decontaminate surfaces.
- Practicality: Having care tools close at hand without cluttering the work surface.
The NOVELO response (Treatment Cart)
- Optimal hygiene: Non-porous ABS work surface with anti-fall edges (2 cm), highly resistant to harsh hospital detergents.
- Lateral accessorization: Standardized rails for attaching waste bins, sharps containers, glove box holders, and hand sanitizer dispensers.
- Modular: 600x400 standard extractable drawers for direct restocking from the internal pharmacy.
Computerization of the Care Pathway
Department challenges
- Electronic Patient Record (EPR): Entering data directly at the patient's bedside to avoid double entry and errors.
- IT Security: Protecting hardware (laptops, tablets) from theft and accidental breakage.
- Typing comfort: Preventing MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders) linked to poor typing posture.
The NOVELO response (IT Cart)
- VESA screen mount: Articulated arm to easily adjust the screen to the nurse's or doctor's eye level.
- Typing ergonomics: Sliding keyboard tray with an integrated wrist rest.
- Hardware security: Specific lockable drawer to safely store the CPU or laptop, featuring integrated cable routing and a barcode scanner holder.
The common foundation of Mdose excellence
