Infectious waste
1
Medical waste that carries pathogenic microorganisms that pose a risk of spreading infectious diseases.
Plastic, rubber, cotton, fiber and other materials contaminated by patient blood, body fluids, infectious excreta.
Microbiology laboratory waste of pathogen culture media, specimens, strains, poisonous species preservation liquid; all kinds of waste medical specimens.
Life wastes generated by patients with infectious diseases in isolation and patients with suspected infectious diseases.
Correct collection method
1. Use the yellow medical garbage can with lid to collect, and set the special yellow medical garbage bag. When the container is 3/4 full, the bag is closed and labeled with a special logo.
2. Pathogen culture media, specimens and bacterial and toxic preservation fluids from microbiology laboratories are sterilized by pressure steam at the place of generation and then collected in accordance with infectious waste.
3, waste urine, pleural and abdominal fluid, cerebrospinal fluid and other specimens can be discharged directly into the sewer with sewage treatment system.
4, discarded blood, serum, fecal specimens, and other infectious waste into a medical waste bag and medical waste cans with lids.
5. Blood transfusion bags should be collected separately in yellow medical waste bags 24 hours after blood transfusion.

2. Discarded instruments and articles containing heavy metal substances, such as mercury-containing sphygmomanometers, mercury-containing thermometers, and mercury-containing articles after use in stomatology and other departments.
Correct collection method
Waste chemical reagents in bulk (e.g., ethanol, formaldehyde, xylene, etc.) should be disposed of by specialized hazardous waste disposal agencies.
Bulk of mercury-containing thermometers, sphygmomanometers and other medical instruments scrapped, should be handed over to a specialized hazardous waste disposal agency for disposal.
Pathological waste
5
The diagnosis and treatment process of human waste and medical laboratory animal carcasses.

5, the fetal age of 16 weeks or less, or fetal weight less than 500 grams of stillbirth.
Correct collection method
Put directly into the medical waste bag and medical waste bin with lid.

It is strictly prohibited to dispose of fetal remains and infant remains as medical waste if the gestational age is more than 16 weeks or the fetal weight is more than 500g.

1. Infusion bottles/bags used in infectious disease areas, or for patients with infectious diseases, patients with suspected infectious diseases, and other patients with isolation measures should be handled in accordance with infectious medical waste.
2, infusion involves the use of cytotoxic drugs (such as tumor chemotherapeutic drugs, etc.) infusion bottles / bags, should be treated in accordance with the pharmaceutical medical waste.
3, infusion involves the use of narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, perishable drugs and radiopharmaceuticals infusion bottles / bags, should be handled in strict accordance with relevant regulations.
