Product Information
Full details
The Sharpsguard Eco Cyto 5 is a purpose-built sharps disposal container designed for clinical staff and departmental administrators who need a reliable, space-efficient solution for hazardous cytotoxic and cytostatic waste. Crafted from 43% recycled plastic, it offers a sustainable way to maintain safety standards, though its 3.98-litre usable capacity requires careful monitoring to ensure the 'fill-line' is not exceeded in high-volume environments.

Does it comply with international standards?

Troubleshooting
Lid does not snap into base securely
Ensure the container is on a flat surface and apply even, downward pressure on all sides of the lid simultaneously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper function, the bin should be assembled on a flat, stable surface before use. Verify that the lid is snapped securely into the base until it clicks.
Compatibility: The container supports a wide range of EWC (European Waste Catalogue) codes, specifically including 18 01 03*, 18 01 08*, and 18 02 07*. Always verify your local clinical waste disposal protocols before use.
Care: The container is intended for single-use only. Once the waste reaches the designated fill-line, the permanent closure must be activated. The container is designed for final disposal via high-temperature incineration or other authorized clinical waste destruction pathways.
