The new USP <800> Standard is focused on protecting frontline staff that administer hazardous drugs within pharmacies, hospitals and clinics, and dictate new waste handling guidelines for PPE and other items that have come in contact with items on the list. Daniels Health is at the frontlines of this new Standard with a clinically designed containment solution that will aid your new training and safety plans around USP <800> hazardous drugs.
Ensure Compliance and Protect Staff in the handling of USP 800 waste
On December 1st 2019, a new Standard governing the handling of hazardous drugs (outlined in the NIOSH HD Tables 1-3) such as warfarin, and fluconazole trace residue will be enforced. Under the new NIOSH governed Standard, gloves, masks, foot covers, bunny suits and gowns that are used in the administering of any USP <800> classified substance are now defined ‘contaminated’, and therefore fall into a new disposal and waste containment category.
Safety continues outside the hospital
Transported in custom transporters to minimize contamination, and sanitized 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 all healthcare generated waste streams. Ahead of NIOSH's introduction of the new USP <800> guidelines, Daniels has partnered with multiple hospitals and facilities to implement its unique Chemosmart system as a cost-effective and compliant solution for disposal of exposed PPE, drug packaging and trace residues of the newly classified drugs.
With 30+ years experience in healthcare, Daniels 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 USP <800> waste. Our CT22 + CT64 container combination achieves best practice by enabling point-of-use segregation of sharps and PPE USP <800> classified waste in a single mobile unit.
Our clinically designed containers have built-in seals which minimize odors and prevent leaking of any free-flowing liquids
Daniels' trace chemotherapy waste stream solution is more cost effective than a black-bin hazardous waste equivalent. Its reusability eliminates purchasing of single-use containers.
Daniels' bagless hands-free containment system mitigates risks of handling and contamination from a gloved hand carrying a substance-contaminated bag. Mobile cart and foot pedal operation accessories enable point-of-generation waste disposal.
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.
