Chemotherapy Disposal
When it comes to hazardous waste disposal, cytotoxic waste is a top concern for healthcare providers developing their healthcare waste management plan at chemo waste disposal hospitals. Daniels provides the first reusable containment system for Chemotherapy Waste in the United States, along with clinically engineered solutions that minimize cross-contamination. With growing adoption of the USP800 standard and concerns around staff and patient risk management, more healthcare facilities are looking to Daniels for safer, sustainable and cost-effective disposal of trace chemotherapy waste.
Reduce Costs and Environmental Impact in trace chemotherapy waste disposal
Daniels offers the most secure chemotherapy waste solutions for trace and bulk chemotherapy waste in the United States. Daniels' safety-engineered containers for the collection of sharps and soft chemotherapy waste are designed to protect staff and patients from cross-contamination and content retrieval. We take management of infectious waste very seriously. Our reusable Chemosmart container was the first chemotherapy waste containment system in the United States to eliminate the need for plastic bags, liners and secondary-packaging. This efficiency, and the elimination of disposable containers, dramatically reduces overall cost, landfill burden and environmental impact. As a service provider, Daniels delivers:
Safety continues outside the hospital
Transported in custom transporters to minimize contamination and sterilized through a robotic washing process that achieves an unprecedented level of cleanliness and bacterial load reduction, Daniels is the industry leader in the safe collection, transport and treatment of chemotherapy waste, or cytotoxic waste, and chemo-contaminated sharps. Ahead of NIOSH's introduction of the new USP 800 regulations, Daniels has partnered with multiple hospitals and facilities to implement its Chemosmart system for the compliant disposal of all exposed PPE and trace residues of the newly classified drugs.
With over 30 years experience in healthcare, Daniels Health has the healthcare waste solutions, licensing and compliance expertise to protect the safety risk exposure and regulatory responsibilities of all sized healthcare facilities in the management of Chemotherapy waste. All Daniels oncology products and solutions are designed to minimize infection transfer risk, ensure user safety, and maximize handling and movement efficiencies. We know that it’s not always easy to understand federal and state codes and regulations with chemotheraphy waste disposal. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing support and resources for chemotheraphy waste disposal and management. Daniels Health will offer advice with the disposal of waste after chemo to ensure you remain in compliance.
Stop paying to throw away bags, boxes and disposable containers; our reusable containment systems eliminate excess waste and the procurements costs associated with purchasing single-use containers
Save time and labor by disposing and segregating waste at point of generation. Our reusable containers eliminate labor associated with box assembly and remove the need to double-package for transport.
Our clinically designed chemotherapy containers have built-in seals which minimize odors and prevent leaking of any free-flowing liquids
Mobile cart and foot pedal operation accessories enable point-of-generation waste disposal, alongside our rigorous 6-stage robotic wash and sanitization process to minimize infection
Choosing reusable dramatically reduces the volume of plastic and cardboard being disposed in landfill
We don't take risks with safety. Daniels Chemosmart containers are the only DOT containers approved for transport and inpenetrability, and have inbuilt safety mechanisms to protect staff during use.
Here at Centegra we are all about our future footprint concerning our environmental waste, this is where Daniels Health and Centegra become a very good match. Centegra’s working relationship with Daniels has been very professional throughout the years. One of the outstanding points that comes to mind is the reliability that Daniels has proven time and time again.
Tammie Johnson, Cumberland Medical Center, Crossville, TennesseeSwitching to Medismart saved our organization nearly $13,000. We also reduced the non-productive time that my staff had been spending switching over disposable sharps containers, and the number of trips for one of my staff members to pick up RMW containers, by 50%. That allowed us to focus more on the cleaning of the hospital in other areas.
Steve Egbert, CHESP, General Manager, Sodexo, Crittenton Hospital Medical CenterDaniels onsite field service team deliver services including auditing, right size container selection, and adjusting frequencies; this has made a significant difference in reducing EVS labor assistance by 99%. For our EVS Department, this allows us to reallocate hours back into improving performance outcomes. I cannot say enough about my positive experiences with Daniels Health.
Jeff Selby, EVS System Director, TriHealth, Cincinnati, OhioI could not have asked for a better transition to a product. The Daniels Sharpsmart collector allows us to protect our staff, our patients and our visitors as well as our environment.
Jack Rupert, Director of Environmental Services, University of Louisville HospitalDaniels manages our full medical waste stream. I would recommend Daniels to both large and smaller facilities. Daniels Health collectors are by far the safest sharps and medical waste containers, and have a very ECO friendly impact on the environment.
Judy Fernandez, EVS manager, Valley HealthDaniels Health and Rollins Brook Community Hospital have a good working relationship. For Sharps, RMW waste and pharmaceutical solutions, both Daniels and the hospital are ECO friendly and work well together.
Stan Elkins, EVS & Facility Coordinator, Rollins Brook Community HospitalSince Daniels took over our sharps removal in mid 2005, the level of staff satisfaction throughout this facility has increased significantly.
