The Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC introduces new requirements from September 2008 on
removability of batteries from waste equipment in EU Member States. To comply with this
Directive, this device has been designed for safe removal of the batteries at end-of-life by a waste
treatment facility. Infected units should be de-contaminated before they are sent for recycling. In
the case that it is not possible to decontaminate the unit for recycling, the hospital should not
attempt to remove the batteries from waste equipment. Continued disposal of small amounts of
portable batteries to landfill and incineration is allowed under the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC
and Member State regulations.
Reuse of a single use device that has come in contact with blood, bone, tissue or other body
fluids may lead to patient or user injury. Possible risks associated with reuse of a single use
device include, but are not limited to, mechanical failure and transmission of infectious agents.
