11. DISPOSAL
11.1. Disposal of waste material
The HD+ uses two AAA batteries and ECG disposable electrodes. They must be disposed of according
to the following procedures:
Battery: proper disposal or standard recycling
Electrodes: normal waste
11.2. Disposal of the device
Pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 49 dated 14 March 2014 "Implementation of Directive 2012/19/EU
on Electrical Waste and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)", the crossed-out "wheeled bin" symbol on the
medical device indicates that, at the end of its service life, the product must be collected separately from
other wastes. Therefore, when disposing of the product at the end of its service life, the user is required to
contact the supplier or the manufacturer.
Suitable differentiated collection to allow for the subsequent recycling of the decommissioned device, with
environmentally-compatible treatment and disposal, helps to prevent any negative effects on the
environment and health and to promote the recycling of the materials from which the device is made.
The illegal disposal of the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions envisioned
by Italian Legislative Decree no. 22/1997 (Art. 50 and subsequent to the Italian Legislative Decree no.
22/1997).
