Indications 

A Needle Sharps Container BD is a specific type of sharps container designed to provide a safe and convenient way to dispose of used needles and other sharps waste. The BD Needle Sharps Container is leak-proof and puncture-resistant to prevent accidental needlestick injuries.  

The B-D Needle Sharps Container is commonly used in healthcare facilities, as well as by individuals who require regular injections or use sharps at home. The container is specifically designed to hold insulin syringes, pen needles, and other types of needles securely. BD offers a range of sharps disposal products, including the BD Home Sharps Container, which is designed for home use. 

Use and Dosage 

To use the BD Needle Sharps Container, follow these steps: 

1. Open the container: Remove the lid of the sharps container by unsnapping or twisting it off, depending on the specific model. 
2. Insert the needle: Carefully place the used needle or other sharps waste into the container. Make sure the sharp end is facing downward and fully inserted into the container. Do not overfill the container. 
3. Secure the lid: Once the needle is inserted, securely close the lid of the sharps container. Ensure that it is tightly sealed to prevent any leaks or accidental openings. 
4. Store the container: Keep the sealed sharps container in a safe and secure location, out of reach of children and pets. Make sure it is stored upright to prevent any spills. 

When the sharps container is full or reaches the recommended fill line, follow local regulations for proper disposal. Contact your local waste management or healthcare facility to find out where you can safely dispose of the full container. 

Cautions 

• Avoid applying excessive pressure or force when disposing of sharps. Jamming or forcefully inserting sharps may lead to container damage or potential exposure to sharps. 
• BD Needle Sharps Containers are designed for single-use only. Reusing a container may compromise its integrity and increase the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. 
• Be aware of and follow any local regulations, guidelines, or laws regarding the disposal of sharps waste. Different regions may have specific requirements for sharps disposal and comply with these regulations to ensure safety and proper waste management. 
• Ensure that the sharps container is stored in a secure location, out of the reach of children and pets. Sharps waste can pose a significant risk if handled improperly. 
• Follow the recommended fill line or capacity indicated on the container. Overfilling may increase the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and compromise the integrity of the container. 
• If available, consider using a mail-back program provided by BD or other authorized organizations. This can provide a convenient and safe method for the disposal of sharps waste, especially for individuals who require regular injections at home. 
• Sharps waste should never be disposed of in regular household trash. It should only be placed in an appropriate sharps container to minimize the risk of injury to waste handlers and prevent environmental contamination.
