Congratulations!

Today you begin using a sharps container built to protect you!

The Daniels Sharpsmart container is at your service. This sharps disposal system is going to create a new normal in safe sharps for you that reduces the risks of injury and cross-contamination. In a snapshot, here is what you will discover with your new Sharpsmart container:

  • Inbuilt safety mechanisms, including both temporary and permanent locks – see tip #1 following this list
  • No risk of force-jamming sharps! A safety tray will prevent hand access
  • Wide disposal opening. No more forcing sharps into a small hole!
  • No caps, casings, cages or other “extra steps” to consider when removing from a wall
  • Our universal bracket system will enable you to mount, move or transport seamlessly throughout the clinical environment
  • The safest container in the world is now in your hands… let us prove it!

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

1

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.

2

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.

3

Check Content Levels

Clearview window identifies the fill level of the collector without showing messy contents.

4

Temporary front lock

Temporary locking closure provides for the safe movement of collectors.

5

Wide Opening

Largest deposition area in the industry allows for single-handed disposal of sharps; contents protection shield eliminates risk of needlestick injuries.

6

Eliminates Overfilling

Tray defaults to a FULL locked upright position when contents reach the maximum fill capacity, eliminating overfilling and associated risks.

7

No-Leak Seal

Precisely engineered lid seal eliminates leakage of blood or body fluids during transport.

8

Tamper-proof

Permanent side locks prevent the collector from being reopened when full. Eliminates unauthorised access to contents.
