Frequently Asked Questions

What types of waste can be disposed of in this container?

The container is intended for approved clinical sharps waste, including needles, syringes, lancets and similar sharps items. Healthcare facilities should follow their internal waste management procedures and applicable local regulations regarding acceptable waste streams.

Does the container have a secure locking system?

Yes. The container features both temporary and final closure positions. The temporary closure helps prevent access between uses, while the final lock permanently secures the contents when the container is ready for transport and disposal.

How does the larger capacity benefit healthcare facilities?

The 17.5 litre capacity helps reduce the frequency of container replacements in busy clinical environments, supporting workflow efficiency and minimising interruptions to patient care activities.

When should the container be replaced?

The container should be replaced once the contents reach the designated fill line. Overfilling can increase the risk of sharps injuries and compromise safe disposal practices. The final closure should always be activated before transport and disposal.

Is the container compliant with Australian sharps disposal requirements?

The RE Series Sharps Containers are manufactured to meet relevant Australian requirements for sharps waste containment. Healthcare providers should also ensure disposal procedures comply with applicable state, territory and organisational regulations.
