Disposal of Disinfectant
In some states and municipalities, it is illegal to dispose of used disinfectants without first
deactivating them. Deactivation also protects the user from exposure to splashes and spills.
CIVCO Medical Solutions manufactures
Glute Out
®
, a glycine-based neutralizer
(part# 610-1045).
After the disinfectant is deactivated, it is safe to dispose of down the sink/drain with cold
water running.
Thoroughly clean and rinse out the container. With the unit turned on, put the soaking
container back into place and refill it with fresh high-level disinfectant.
