Frequently asked questions
What is the container's capacity and dimensions?
These containers feature a standard capacity of 2 gallons (or 7.57 liters).
They are designed to optimize space utilization, offering the following approximate external dimensions:
- Height: 12¾ inches
- Width: 10½ inches
- Depth: 7¼ inches
One of the main benefits is the economical horizontal-drop opening, which is engineered to maximize the usable volume within the container. Furthermore, the containers are nestable when empty, allowing you to save valuable storage space.
What are the container's capacity and dimensions?
The Cardinal Health Multi-Purpose Containers feature a secure 2-gallon capacity.
Key to maximizing the internal volume is the economical horizontal-drop opening design. This allows for better capacity utilization, especially for accommodating larger items like syringes.
The dimensions for a single container unit are:
- Height: 12¾ inches
- Depth: 7¼ inches
- Width: 10½ inches
These containers are also nestable for efficient, space-saving storage when not in use.
Is the container lockable for final disposal?
Yes, these multi-purpose containers are specifically engineered for safe, single-use disposal and feature mechanisms for secure final sealing.
Key disposal and safety features include:
- Final Locking Mechanism: The containers feature a lid that is lockable for final disposal, permanently securing the contents once filled.
- Destruction Compatibility: The plastics and pigments utilized are safe for high-temperature destruction processes, allowing for disposal via autoclaving or incineration.
- Efficient Design: The horizontal-drop opening maximizes the usable volume and accommodates larger syringes before the final lock needs to be engaged.
Are these containers safe for autoclaving or incineration?
Yes, these multi-purpose containers are specifically designed to be compatible with high-temperature disposal methods, ensuring both safety and flexibility in medical waste management workflows.
- Material Safety: The plastics and pigments used in the container construction are certified safe for both autoclaving and incineration.
- Secure Disposal: Each container features a robust locking mechanism for final closure, ensuring safe handling once full and prepared for the disposal stream.
How many containers are included in a case?
The Cardinal Health Multi-Purpose Containers are packaged in cases designed for high-volume use. Each case (cs) contains 20 containers.
A key feature for inventory management is the nestable design, which ensures that the containers conserve valuable storage space before they are assembled and put into use.
Are wall mounting brackets included with the container?
No, the wall mounting brackets and adhesive-backed holders are not included with the multi-purpose containers. These accessories must be purchased separately.
However, these containers are highly versatile and can be used conveniently on a countertop without needing any additional mounting hardware.
How does the horizontal opening maximize capacity?
The horizontal-drop opening is specifically designed for maximizing the container’s usable internal volume and enhancing safety.
Key benefits of this design include:
- Optimized Volume: The economical horizontal-drop mechanism efficiently maximizes the container’s usable space, allowing you to get the most volume before final disposal is required.
- Accommodates Large Items: The large opening is engineered to safely and easily accept larger syringes and bulkier medical waste.
- Secure Insertion: It provides a reliable and straightforward method for depositing sharps, contributing to overall safety protocols.
Do these containers save valuable storage space?
Yes, these multi-purpose containers are designed to maximize storage efficiency when they are empty.
They feature a nestable design, which means the containers stack securely inside one another. This feature is crucial for:
- Conserving Inventory Space: Significantly reduces the physical footprint required for storing new supplies.
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlines handling and inventory management, especially for users who purchase the containers in case quantities (typically 20 units per case).
Do the containers lock for secure final disposal?
Yes, these Cardinal Health Multi-Purpose Containers are engineered for safe and compliant final disposal of medical waste and sharps. They include the following safety features related to disposal:
- Secure Locking Mechanism: The containers feature a built-in locking mechanism that is engaged when they are full. This ensures the contents are securely contained and prevents tampering or spillage during handling and transport.
- Safe for Processing: The plastics and pigments used in construction are certified safe for high-temperature treatment, allowing the sealed containers to be disposed of via either autoclaving or incineration.
Can the fill level be easily monitored?
The ability to monitor the contents depends on the specific variant you choose:
- Yes, if you choose the Transparent Red container with a Clear Lid. This option uses semi-translucent plastic, allowing staff to quickly and safely assess the internal fill level without unnecessary handling. This visibility aids in compliance by ensuring timely final disposal once the capacity limit is reached.
- No, if you choose the Solid Red container with a lid. This variant provides an opaque barrier, meaning the contents will not be visible.
