Disposable endoscope camera modules are usually treated as medical waste and must strictly follow the following disposal procedures:
1. Youdaoplaceholder0 Sealed packaging and sorting
Immediately seal it in a dedicated medical waste packaging bag/container after use, mark it as "infectious Waste", and it is strictly prohibited to store it together with other medical devices.
The endoscope module is a non-reusable instrument and should be treated as disposable medical supplies. It is strictly prohibited to wash or disinfect it for reuse.
2. Youdaoplaceholder0 Professional recycling and handover
The waste is collected by designated personnel of the medical institution at regular intervals and transported to the temporary storage point for medical waste. The entire transportation process is closed to prevent leakage.
Implement the "double handover" system: The department and the recovery personnel, as well as the recovery personnel and the disposal unit, respectively register information such as the source, type, and quantity. The data should be kept for at least three years.
3. Youdaoplaceholder0 Harmless treatment and resource recovery
Incineration or autoclaving : Infectious components are completely inactivated by high-temperature incineration or high-pressure steam.
Metal recycling : Metal parts such as circuit boards, lens housings, after disassembly, extract copper, gold and other metal resources through smelting, electrolysis and other processes.
Environmental supervision : The treatment process must comply with the "Pollution Control Standard for Medical Waste", the exhaust gas and wastewater must be purified and discharged up to standard.
Legal basis : The disposal process must strictly comply with the "Regulations on the Administration of Medical Waste" and the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices" to ensure no environmental pollution or infection risk.
Key precautions
Do not reuse : Single-use design intended to prevent cross-infection, any attempt to reuse violates medical practice.
Cost Balance : Although the cost of a single disposal is higher, it is more profitable overall compared to the disinfection, repair costs and infection risks of reused equipment.
This process takes into account both safety and environmental protection, forming a closed-loop management of "use - recycling - resource utilization".
