Abstract
A veterinarian infectious waste containment system having an animal cage and a flushing system slidable thereinto, and a process for containing infectious waste. The flushing system has a stainless steel waste collection pan and a means for flushing mounted at the top of the waste collection pan. The flushing system has an inlet which is fluidly connected to a water supply and the waste collection pan has an outlet fluidly connected to a drain. The means for flushing comprises disassemblable piping sections having apertures for delivery of fluid by spray jets. The water supply can have disinfectant selectively added to it; after the animal waste has been removed from the waste collection pan, the waste collection pan itself can be selectively flushed with the water with disinfectant. A stainless steel shroud extends a portion of the way from the flusing system towards the top of the cage and fits against the stainless steel side walls of the cage. The shroud has shroud lips that rest on the top of the flushing system piping and the shroud lips cover the flushing system piping. An animal resting platform comprised of plastic-coated grating resides on the shroud lips covering the flushing system.
