CSRX BIN
Please pass this on to all field providers!
Good afternoon
It was noticed that the Control Substance waste bin that the different healthcare systems have placed in the ERs for EMS to waste medication/drugs had used syringes and other EMS-related trash placed in these bins.
These bins are for Control Substance medication waste only. They are not intended to be sharps containers. If an EMS Provider has a controlled substance left in a syringe or needs to waste from the vial or other device the medication is to be pulled up in a syringe and squirted into these bins. The needle and syringe should then be placed in the sharps container. Please re-educate, and reinforce this with the field providers. (I have included pictures below where you can see the syringes)
Thank you,
Dave
