Bemis SharpSentinel 1-Quart Phlebotomy Container (100/Case)

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel 1-Quart Phlebotomy Containers are designed to fit seamlessly on phlebotomy trays. For enhanced stability and security, these containers can also be used with the Phlebotomy Holder (#400 000) to keep them firmly in place on a tray or tabletop.

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel 1-Quart Phlebotomy Containers are specifically designed for use in restricted clinical areas where space is limited. This compact design makes them ideal for deployment in:

• Mobile Medical Carts and Nurses’ Stations
• Laboratories
• Pharmacies
• Operating Rooms (ORs)

Key features that maximize efficiency include their small 1-quart size (4.25” x 4.25” footprint) and the fact that units are nestable for space conservation during storage and shipping. They are also compatible with standard phlebotomy trays and the optional Phlebotomy Holder (#400 000).

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel containers are equipped with a secure lid that incorporates dual closure mechanisms for maximum safety and compliance:

• Temporary Closure: This allows the container to be sealed securely between uses or during transport, preventing accidental access to the contents.
• Final Closure: Once the container reaches its capacity, this mechanism provides a permanent, non-reopenable seal. This prepares the container for compliant final disposition, which is achieved through either autoclaving or incineration.

Yes, these containers are designed for safe and compliant final disposal. They are suitable for both autoclaving and incineration, providing flexibility for medical waste management protocols.

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel 1-Quart containers are explicitly designed for space efficiency, making them ideal for restricted clinical areas (like med carts, labs, and nurses’ stations).

Key features that maximize space include:

• Nestable Design: Empty containers are designed to fit securely inside one another, drastically reducing required storage volume.
• Reduced Shipping Costs: Nesting helps minimize overall shipping volume and costs for the bulk cases (100 containers per case).
• Compact Size: The units are small (4.25” L x 4.25” W x 6 7/16” H), allowing easy placement on phlebotomy trays or benches.

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel 1-Quart Phlebotomy Containers are available in two distinct colors to facilitate effective waste management and segregation protocols:

• Red (MPN 100 030)
• Yellow (MPN 100 040)

These color options allow clinical facilities to implement internal coding systems for efficient and compliant waste stream segregation, ensuring the correct disposal of medical sharps.

The translucent containers and lids on the Bemis SharpSentinel are a critical safety feature, as they provide high visibility of the contents. This design significantly enhances safety by allowing staff to:

• Monitor Fill Levels: Easily and accurately track how full the 1-quart container is.
• Prevent Overfilling: Visibility ensures the unit is never filled past the safe capacity, which is essential for maintaining integrity and security.

Preventing overfilling is crucial for safe handling, secure final closure, and compliance with medical waste disposal protocols.

The Bemis SharpSentinel 1-Quart Phlebotomy Container features a compact, square design ideal for use in restricted clinical settings. The specific dimensions are:

• Length: 4.25 inches
• Width: 4.25 inches
• Height: 6 7/16 inches

This size is designed to fit standard phlebotomy trays. For secure placement on carts or tabletops, it is also compatible with the optional Phlebotomy Holder (#400 000). Furthermore, the containers are nestable when empty, which helps maximize storage efficiency and reduce shipping costs.

Yes, the Bemis SharpSentinel is engineered for efficient containment, helping to maximize sharps waste within its 1-quart capacity.

Key features that ensure efficient utilization and capacity management include:

• Volume Maximizing Drop: The container’s design incorporates principles (like horizontal drop geometry used in many Bemis units) that help sharps settle efficiently, maximizing the usable internal space.
• Accommodation: The dual openings with a vertical drop are configured to securely accommodate a wide variety of sharps sizes, promoting effective packing.
• Fill Level Visibility: The translucent container and lid allow clinical staff to easily monitor the fill level, ensuring the container is fully utilized without the risk of overfilling.
• Storage Efficiency: Before use, the units feature a nestable design that helps facilities save storage space and reduce logistics costs.

Yes, the container is equipped with two levels of closure for maximum safety:

• Temporary Closure: Used during active periods to keep sharps securely contained.
• Final Closure: Engaged permanently when the container is full or ready for disposal (via autoclaving or incineration), ensuring a secure, sealed unit.
