While a sharps bin like the Sharpsguard Purple (Cyto) 5L doesn’t have traditional “side effects,” there are safety risks if it’s misused. Here’s what to be aware of:
Safety Warnings / Improper Use Risks
-
Needlestick injuries – Overfilling or not using the bin properly can lead to accidental pricks from contaminated sharps.
-
Exposure to hazardous waste – If cytotoxic/cytostatic sharps are not sealed correctly inside the bin, they may pose a serious health risk.
-
Incorrect disposal – Using the wrong bin (e.g., yellow instead of purple) can result in regulatory non-compliance and contamination.
-
Lid not locked – Transporting or disposing without the lid properly locked can cause leaks or spills.
To stay safe:
Always follow the fill line, use one bin per waste type, and seal it securely before disposal.
