Sharps Management Service

Using Bio Systems Reusable Containers

PRODUCT GUIDE

SOLUTION

Stericycle Sharps Management Service

Stericycle Sharps Management Service has successfully provided safe, environmentally friendly and cost-effective sharps management services to major medical facilities since 1986. The Stericycle Sharps Management Service is a proactive service that helps you improve employee safety and control the cost of doing business while you protect and preserve the environment.

Safe handling and transportation of all Bio Systems reusable containers is part of this full service/turnkey offering. Our container’s puncture resistance is approximately 2.5 times the ASTM puncture standard requirement. All containers are capped or closed prior to transport. Once at our processing facility, lids are removed robotically with state-of-the-art automated equipment and appropriately disinfected.

IF NEEDLESTICKS ARE A PROBLEM, WE HAVE THE SOLUTION…

OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration)

The current Federal standard for addressing needlestick injuries among healthcare workers is the OSHA bloodborne pathogens standard, 29 CFR

1910.1030. The standard applies to all occupational exposures to blood or other potentially infectious materials. Notable elements of this standard require that compliance with universal precautions (an infection control principle that treats all human blood and other potentially infectious materials as infectious) and implementation of engineering controls and work practices to eliminate or minimize worker exposure.

SOLUTION We’ve diverted 100 million disposable containers from landfills.

One reusable Bio Systems container replaces 600 disposable sharps containers. Longer container life cycles = more uses, less energy consumed, and less waste.

A snapshot of Stericycle’s tangible results and sustainable benefits for hospitals:

100,000,000 containers diverted from landfills

100% sustained reduction in needlesticks*

Millions of containers successfully tracked

9,000 tons of cardboard boxes diverted from landfills

122,000 tons of waste reduced

More than 30 square miles of green space saved

* Based on an independent national study.

FDA (Food & Drug Administration)

Sharps containers are regulated as Class II Medical

Devices (21 CFR 880.5570) by the Food & Drug

Administration (FDA). The OSHA standard, 1910.1030(d)

(4)(iii)(A), requires that contaminated sharps be discarded immediately or as soon as feasible in containers that are:

• Closeable

• Puncture resistant

• Leakproof on the sides and bottom

• Affixed with the appropriate warning labels

Our comprehensive offering of containers, lids and brackets allows us to meet the needs of every department. We help you select the appropriate container size, lid type, cabinet, bracket or base.

BIO SYSTEMS LID OPTIONS

Horizontal Drop Lid Code # 04HORZ-2007

The Horizontal drop lid has been designed to easily activate with a small 1cc syringe but this versatile design can also accommodate a syringe as large as 60 cc’s.

The trap top lid can be kept closed when the container is not in use to reduce exposure. Can be used with wire step-on dolly.

Used with the wire step-on dolly.
