Disposable syringes are classified according to their purpose. They can be divided into three types: serious pollution, general pollution and basically no pollution. For single-use syringes with different pollution levels, their disposal methods are also different, so how to classify them, let Changzhou Medical Equipment General Factory explain to you.
1. Severely contaminated disposable syringes: those that are in direct contact with the patient's body fluids, such as used syringes for blood draw, pleural effusion, and ascites, because the patient's body fluid is a potential source of infection.
2. Generally contaminated disposable syringes: that is, only the needle part is the syringe that comes into contact with the patient, such as regular injections and infusions, and some syringes that are usually used with anti-inflammatory water.
3. Basically non-polluting disposable syringes: basically non-polluting disposable syringes that are not in direct contact with patients, such as syringes used when adding medicine, of course, improper operation and contamination should be excluded.
This is the classification of disposable syringes. If they are to be processed, they must be processed according to such a classification method. Different pollution levels require different treatment methods.
