It's right you should flag this up Paul, I do think it is a worthy
case for discussion and thank Michal for bringing it to our attention.
I personally have no qualms about putting some ideas for open
discussion and  results  into the public domain.

I would be interested in seeing the specification the device must
reach, is it something like 1200C for 1 second for the flue gases,
what about the ash, what temperature must this achieve?

As medical wastes are bound to have a high water content and if they
want to avoid too much support fuel the problem is probably similar to
ones face by crematoria which nowadays are sequential batch devices.
