Return of Goods in Medical Institutions
Recommendations for action -
for all staff members having contact with potentially contaminated returns.
Returns or returned goods are all products returned to the producer or the supplier, irrespective
of whether or not they have been used, e.g. due to complaints, repair or maintenance. Those
products might have had contact with biological substances or highly active pharmaceuticals (e.g.
cytostatics, radioactive medicines) and could be contaminated by them. If in doubt, the goods to
be returned should be treated as contaminated products.
This lea et provides guidance on minimizing the potential hygienic risk when handling returned
goods. Among other things, this information is based on the legal standards of the Biostoff-
Verordnung (= Biological Substances Regulation) and the Employment Protection Act (both valid
in Germany). A more detailed reference list of applicable rules and regulations can be obtained
from the BVMed ([email protected]).
In order to protect your and our employees who handle contaminated parts and to optimally
examine such parts, you should consider the following:
1. Assessment of returns before reshipment
Irrespective of whether or not a contamination risk is known, products which had direct or indirect
contact with biological working substances (e.g. blood, secre-tions or other body uids) or with
highly active pharmaceuticals (e.g. gloves of the clinical or surgical staff) should be regarded as
potentially dangerous to health.
According to the regulation on biological substances, substances of risk group 3 can cause
severe illness in humans and pose a serious risk to staff members (e.g. tuberculosis or hepatitis).
Substances of risk group 4 cause severe illness in
humans and pose a serious risk to staff members (e.g. Ebola or smallpox).
Regarding national and international regulations for the transport of potentially infectious
substances (ADR, IATA-DGR), the
risk groups
2 (e.g. staphylococcus aureus)
and 3
de ned by
the Biological Substances Regulation are classi ed as
Transport Category B.
Due to infectious agents, pathogens or pharmaceuticals, contaminated goods pose a
potential hygienic risk for all persons having contact with the returns.
Products which are potentially contaminated by biological working substances of risk
group 4 according to the regulation on biological substances as well as products which
are potentially contaminated by pharmaceuticals posing a serious risk to health (e.g. X-ray
contrast agents and cytostatics) must not be returned to the producer.
