Urgence21 Pneumatic Tube System

Swisslog's Urgence21 pneumatic tube system is a mono-directional system. Instead of solid carriers, disposable bags are used for material transport.

The system is used mainly in hospitals, but is also applicable for cash handling applications.

A Different Approach

Urgence 21 Bag

The unique approach of the Urgence21 system is the use of a barcoded disposable bag for material transport. Goods are transported very safely.

The bag is sealed with a permanent adhesive and must be torn open. Unauthorized opening of a bag is recognized immediately.

The system is built mono-directional, supporting the collection of samples in a facility to a centralized department.
