Tip # 1
Don’t Press those Red Tabs Yet!
The Sharpsmart’s temporary locks are located along the front lip of the container, above the label – the permanent locks are located along the sides and can be activated by pressing the red tabs down to slide the locks in place. Once a container is permanently locked, it can only be opened at a Daniels facility. Only activate permanent locks when the container is full.

Sharpsmart Sharps Container Safety Features
Gravity Balanced Safety Tray
Safety tray restricts hand-access. Sharps are released away from the user into the collector; removing risk of “bouncing” or rollback of sharps.
Maximum Strength Hardened Plastic
Impenetrable by contained sharps. Tested to an amazing 500 wash cycles, the Sharpsmart is the only sharps container in the United Kingdom which has not had any FDA incident reports citing needle penetration.
Check Content Levels
Clearview window identifies the fill level of the collector without showing messy contents.
Temporary front lock
Temporary locking closure provides for the safe movement of collectors.
Wide Opening
Largest deposition area in the industry allows for single-handed disposal of sharps; contents protection shield eliminates risk of needlestick injuries.
Eliminates Overfilling
Tray defaults to a FULL locked upright position when contents reach the maximum fill capacity, eliminating overfilling and associated risks.
No-Leak Seal
Precisely engineered lid seal eliminates leakage of blood or body fluids during transport.
Tamper-proof
Permanent side locks prevent the collector from being reopened when full. Eliminates unauthorized access to contents.
Choose the right container.
All Daniels containers are designed for instant waste stream recognition. Our Ivory and Red (with ivory lid) containers are designed for used clinical sharps. The red version is designed without a safety tray and is to be used in non-public areas only. The yellow container is designed for sharps that contain less than 3% of chemotherapy drugs, and the purple container is designed for non-hazardous pharmaceuticals.
