ISPOSAL
Like any other electronic device, your audiometer contains extremely small
quantities of certain hazardous substances. If such substances enter the normal
waste disposal cycle without suitable preliminary treatment, they can cause
damage to the environment and to health. Accordingly, at the end of its service
life, each component of the device must go through a sorted collection process.
This means that the user should deliver (or dispatch) waste items to the sorted
collection centers set up by local authorities, or alternatively return them to the
reseller when purchasing a new device of the same or similar type.
Thanks to the sorted collection of waste items and the subsequent processing,
recovery and disposal operations they undergo, appliances can be made from
recycled materials, and any negative impact of improper waste management on
the environment and on health can be suitably limited.
