Proper handling of blood contaminated material
Even though the only working surfaces that routinely come into contact with
blood are the internal surfaces of the disposable assay cartridge, any TEG
analyzer surface that could be contaminated by a blood spill should be properly
cleaned and decontaminated with an appropriate disinfectant (see
“Cleaning
and Disinfecting the Analyzer” on page 91 ). This should only need to be done
as required by laboratory protocol and immediately after any blood spill.
Precautions must be taken to eliminate or reduce the hazards involved with
removing the TEG analyzer from its point of use, transporting it from one place
to another, or disposing of the analyzer. If any blood-contaminated material
must be returned to Haemonetics for further inspection, see
“Product return
guidelines” on page 12 for instructions.
Warning: Haemonetics products must be properly cleaned and packaged
prior to their return. It remains an important responsibility of the
customer to reduce potential health hazards by being aware of the risks
involved in the shipping, handling and testing of this material. Units
returned to Haemonetics for repair are subject to biohazard charges if
any component is contaminated with blood or blood products.
Proper disposal of biologically contaminated materials
Any disposable material used during a procedure is considered to be
biologically contaminated and biohazardous. It must be disposed of according
to local standard operating procedures for the removal of such material and
should not be mixed with non-biohazardous waste.
Handling of
glass objects
Glass objects such as blood collection tubes and Quality Control (QC) vials
should be handled with care.
Warning: In case of glass breakage, watch for sharp edges.
