Here's How it Works: <br />When using the Medical Waste Machine, sharps are <br />collected as they normally would be using our standard <br />sharps containers. Once the sharps container is full or it's <br />time to run a cycle, the sharps container is brought over the <br />the machine and the silver dome top is removed. One of our <br />black specialized indicator discs is then placed in the bottom of the machine's teflon lined container and the <br />full sharps container is placed on top of that. The silver dome is now put back on top and secured using the <br />handle's locking mechanisrn. <br />Tfie sterilization cycle is started with a one button process and runs for a few hours before automatically <br />shutting off. During the cycle, all medical waste is sterilized and encapsulated. The indicator disc serves as a <br />bio -physical indicator that sterilization has occurred, as it can only rnelt at temperatures well in excess of <br />those needed for sterilization. The process reduces the waste by up to 75% and leaves behind a small plastic <br />block that can be disposed of with standard garbage. The teflon lined container is also sterilized in the <br />process to be used for future waste disposal. <br />
