- Security: The rigid construction ensures the container maintains its shape and integrity throughout handling and disposal, contributing to overall security.
Are these containers secure against tampering?
Yes, security and integrity are key design features of these pharmaceutical waste containers. They are engineered to provide enhanced containment and deter tampering:
- Tamper Evidence: Each container includes a tamper-evident label to verify the integrity of the contents and deter unauthorized access during final disposal.
- Secure Locking Lid: The lid mechanisms (available as Hinged, Slide, or Counter-Balanced) support temporary closure for intermittent use and a definitive final locking mechanism when the container is ready for transport.
- Durable Construction: Made from sturdy, rigid polypropylene, the containers resist impact and leaks, providing superior security compared to cardboard or fiber options.
Does the secure lid have a final lock?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Pharmaceutical Waste Container features a secure lid designed with two distinct levels of closure for safety and regulatory compliance:
- Temporary Closure: Allows the lid to be securely sealed between uses while the container is at the point of care.
- Permanent Final Lock: When the container is full and ready for transport, the lid can be engaged in a permanent lock, ensuring the contents are securely contained and cannot be reopened.
For enhanced security during final disposition, the container also includes a tamper-evident label to deter unauthorized access.
Do these containers safely hold heavy vials and I.V. bags?
