The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) aims
to minimize the impact on the environment by prevention of waste. The Exigo H400 hematology
analyzer has been labeled with the WEEE symbol, and there is a procedure to allow waste collection
and recycling of the equipment at the end of it’s life cycle.
The instructions for decontamination and disposal, including reagents, can be found on the Exigo
home page www.exigo-vet.com under Support, Downloads, SDS (MSDS), Waste Electric and
Electronic (WEEE).
If there are any question on how to follow this procedure, contact your local distributor for more
information.
The analyzer should be considered as infected and the end user must follow a decontamination
procedure before it is safe to hand over to a recycler.
