Disposal of the CDI Shunt Sensors and CDI H/S Cuvette must be done along with the
bypass tubing circuit. No disconnection or further handling of the CDI disposables is
necessary. Use standard hospital protocol for disposal of the bypass tubing circuit, as
well as CDI Shunt Sensors and H/S Cuvettes that have contacted blood.
CDI gases are contained in disposable gas bottles. These non-returnable bottles
contain nontoxic, nonammable gases and gas mixtures.
To dispose of a gas bottle:
1. To release residual pressure of the gas bottle, press inside the centermost
point of the threaded portion of the valve. For gases or mixtures containing
less than 21% oxygen, this should be done in a well-ventilated area to avoid
asphyxiation by displacement of oxygen.
2. Remove or obliterate markings that indicate the bottle contains hazardous
material.
3. Discard the bottle as you would other metallic or hard goods trash as permitted
by local authorities, rules or regulations.
Note: To dispose by recycling, the valve must also be removed from the bottle, as it is
made from a different type of metal.
Caution
Do not dispose of the BPM(s), H/S(s) or Flow Sensor(s).
