Sharpsguard Cyto 1L Sharps Container (Case of 30)
As hospitals and other medical environments can often generate a lot of clinical and potentially harmful waste, it is important to ensure that correct storage and disposal systems are in place. The Sharpsguard Cyto 1L Sharps Container (Case of 30) conforms to BS EN ISO 23907:2012, enabling the safe storage of sharps for incineration.
Please note that this container is designed to hold sharps contaminated by cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, and should be disposed of separately to other healthcare waste.
Safer Design
The Sharpsguard Cyto 1L Sharps Container has been designed to provide a safer method of storing sharps for incineration. The solid structure features a hinged lid, making it easier to add sharps to the container.
The container also includes a purple lid to allow for colour coding. This will provide a visual prompt for eliminating the chance of objects being placed in the incorrect containers. The label on the front of each container will also provide improved safety, with space for writing information including the container's location, department, and start date.
Rectangular Shape for Versatile Use
As the Cyto 1L Sharps Container is rectangular in shape, it can be ideally fitted into a medical bag for transportation. This makes it a practical solution for community healthcare workers and wardens to carry around in case of the sudden disposal of sharps.
Since it is conveniently shaped, the container is also perfect for wards and departments where space for storing unused containers may be limited. This practical shape will help to ensure that there can always be a spare container at hand should one be needed at short notice.
Standards Conformity
The Sharps Container conforms to BS EN ISO 23907:2012 'Sharps injury protection - Requirements and test methods - Sharps containers'. This means that it meets the specifications required by the standard for the disposal of sharps.
Conforming to the standard will help provide assurance that the Sharpsguard Cyto 1L Container is safe and reliable for storing sharps for incineration in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
