Reusable
|
Yes – All Sharpsmart Container Systems are reusable. This benefit allows:
- 30% reduction in sharps waste-stream plastic.
- Allows client to implement waste prevention strategies.
- Allows incorporation of technology-driven features to enhance safety and efficiency.
|
|
High Puncture Resistance
|
Yes – All Sharpsmart Container Systems are High Puncture Resistant. The Reusability allows use of high quality materials developed to exceed all Standards Tests for Puncture Resistance.
|
|
Preassembled
|
Yes – All Sharpsmart Containers are preassembled which eliminates need for staff resources to assemble containers. It also eliminates risk of Protrusion Injuries due to incorrectly assembled or closed containers
|
|
Leak Proof
|
Yes – All Sharpsmart Container Systems are leak proof. Neoprene gasket in lid eliminates opportunity for Blood or Body Fluid exposure during post-closure handling & transport.
|
|

|
Yes – All Sharpsmart Containers provide a One-Hand, One-Step deposition of sharps. Additionally:
- Passive Activation of counter-balanced door allows for enhanced safety during disposal.
- Simple, safe, closure mechanisms designed to keep hands away from potential risk of sharps injury.
|
|
Overfill Protection
|
Yes – Sharpsmart Passive Overfill Protection prevents staff from overfilling container and eliminates risk of overfilling injuries.
|
|
Tamper Proof
|
Yes – Sharpsmarts have tamper-proof final closure that cannot be opened by hand. This enhances security in compliance with facility mandates.
|
|
System Security
|
- Sharpsmart containers can be locked to the wall.
- Full containers are locked and tamperproof.
- Full, locked containers are placed in Daniels Lockable Transporters while awaiting transport to Factory.
- Daniels Transporters are a secure and weatherproof means of efficiently transporting Sharpsmart products from the Healthcare Facility back to our processing center.
|
|
Clearview Window (Sight/view port)
|
Yes – Sharpsmart Containers allows easy determination of fill level prior to Passive Overfill Activation, a clearview window is on every unit.
|
|
Large Opening
|
Yes – Sharpsmart Conatiners have access Geometry designed to allow a wide range of sharps disposal without orienting or manipulation of the sharp.
|
|
Hand-Entry Protection
|
Yes – Sharpsmart Containers designed engineering of opening gives high hand-access restriction. Coupled with OSHA compliant height positioning, eliminates risk of inquisitive child injury.
|
| Traceability |
Daniels provides TracSMART for the Sharpsmart System. TracSMART tracks Sharpsmarts from Healthcare facility back to processing center throughout life of container. The system is FDA requirement. |
| Computerized and Automated Decanting, Sanitizing and Drying. |
Daniels Washsmart is a fully automated robotic sharps system with process-validated standards for decanting, sanitizing, drying and quality checking each product, an FDA and OSHA requirement. |
| OSHA Certified Processing |
The Washsmart process meets the strict wash requirements of OSHA. Rather than rely on environmentally unfriendly chemicals, the Washsmart process uses a thoroughly tested combination of water pressure, high temperatures and biodegradable detergent to achieve High-Level Disinfection. |
| Washsmart Quality Assurance |
Each individual Sharpsmart has its wash parameters (temperature time, water volumes) measured and permanently recorded, giving complete assurance of Microbiological Sanitization. |
| Unique Anti-stick Coating |
Daniels engineers developed and researched more than 200 formulations before patenting SMARTGUARD, a unique coating applied at every wash to enable Sharpsmarts to easily shed sticky adhesives, blood, body fluids and dyes. |
| Traceability |
- Daniels invented TracSMART for the Sharpsmart System.
- TracSMART tracks Sharpsmarts from Healthcare facility back to processing center throughout life of container.
- Is FDA requirement.
|
| Temporary Closure |
Allows safe & easy transport within Healthcare Facility or community |
| Horizontal Drop Stacking |
Sharps waste falls into the container horizontally, allowing for increased efficiency of container by as much as 30% over |
| Robust Construction |
- Sharpsmart products are manufactured from ABS derivatives that will not puncture, crack or split.
- Passed all Standards tests after 500 uses (equivalent to 30-50 years usage)
- Materials developed to ensure products remain aesthetically pleasing over time.
|
| Flexible Bracketry |
Sharpsmart System has over ten bracket styles that fit all containers. Allows our conversion team to better position Sharpsmarts in a location that complies with OSHA & NIOSH Guidelines yet meets user needs. |
| UN Certified |
Sharpsmart products were subjected to and met the vigorous requirements for compliance to the UN Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods. These tests, including the dropping of a frozen container on to a concrete floor, give unsurpassed client assurance of Sharpsmart’s quality, ruggedness and safety. |
| D.O.T. Certified |
Being independently certified as meeting the UN Packaging Group II requirements, Sharpsmart products meet the requirements for safe transport throughout the US without any additional packaging or labor requirements. |
