To reduce the risk of injury, the FDA recommends health care facilities and other waste generators follow a two-step process for proper medical Sharps Container Disposal :
Place all needles and sharps in a verified sharps disposal container immediately after use.
Overfilling containers increase the risk of injury, so when 3/4 full, follow community guidelines on getting rid of the sharps container.
Storage requirements and community guidelines vary by location. Please check your state page for a full list of regulatory requirements.
By following medical sharps disposal regulations, you can keep your business compliant and avoid unnecessary fees, reduce pollution to the environment, prevent injury, and prevent the spread of disease.
In addition, let me introduce what makes sharps containers different?
1.Labeled as biohazard waste
2.Spill-proof star-shaped opening at the top
3.Shatter and puncture proof material
How are Sharps Disposed of?
Sharps must be properly disposed of to prevent the spread of blood-borne diseases to health care workers and the general public. To do so, waste disposal companies sterilize sharps in an autoclave by using high pressure for 15-20 minutes to “deactivate” all bacteria and viruses on any material. Another method to sterilize sharps is to use is an incinerator, which uses high temperature to convert organic substances contained in the waste materials. This treatment is more typically used on chemotherapy sharps waste.
