11 WASTE DISPOSAL
Medical equipment is considered for disposal because of its natural obsolescence
and failure to meet current procedural standards, uneconomic or poor serviceability,
lack of spare parts, etc.
Fibers, batteries and other discarded items, should be disposed of in accordance
with Waste Disposal Policies and local laws and regulations for processing.
The end user has an obligation to ensure the safe and responsible
disposition of the medical laser device and battery. Under no
circumstances should lasers be abandoned, disposed as regular trash
or put out for sale to the general public. Observe all legal provisions.
This has been expressed using the icon of the crossed out receptacle
container
All lasers designated for disposal must be decommissioned and made
inoperable to ensure an unqualified person does not use the device and
expose themselves or others to potential hazards. Disposal is an option
when lasers are of no value and only after the laser is rendered
inoperable. Contact PIOON or an authorized Service Center.
