Implementation of an automated pneumatic tube system improved turnaround times in the emergency department, suggesting efficiency gains.
The Sarstedt Tempus600 automated pneumatic tube system (PTS) was implemented at Canberra Hospital Emergency Department (ED) in 2025 to streamline sample transportation and improve turnaround times (TAT). The system features a first-in, first-out sample delivery method, transporting specimens up to 600 m in 1 minute from key ED areas to the Abbott GLP automation track in the laboratory.
