A-1- Waste Disposal
WARNING:
RISK OF BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION
Waste which contains, or which has been in contact with, biological specimens must
be considered to be a potential risk of infection.
Always wear disposable gloves for all handling procedures.
Waste must be disposed of in accordance with current local regulations.
Liquid waste
Liquid waste is collected in a 10 liters container.
•
Before installing the liquid waste container container, put 250 mL of commercial bleach ready-to-use (2,6%
of active Chloride) into the empty container.
Liquid waste should be considered potentially infectious and must, therefore, be disposed of in accordance
with current local regulations.
Except when an automated system of liquid waste treatment is used, liquid waste must be processed prior to
disposal in order to eliminate a biological risk. This procedure must be carried out outside of the analyser:
•
When the container is full, remove the plunger and remove the container from the analyser.
•
Add 500 mL of concentrated bleach (9,6% of active Chloride).
•
Leave on overnight.
•
Eliminate the processed waste in accordance with current local procedures.
!
This process does not eliminate chemical risk.
!
Do not use bleach in tablet form.
Solid waste
•
Probes.
•
IDS-iSYS Cuvettes.
Solid waste should be considered potentially infectious and must, therefore, be disposed of in accordance with
current local regulations.
