Stericycle provides blood banks with an array of safe and compliant solutions to manage regulated medical waste and compliance requirements.
Stericycle enables blood banks to maintain regulatory compliance by providing regulated medical waste management and compliance solutions that protect people and brands, promote health and well-being, and safeguard the environment.
As the need for blood donations grows in communities across the United States, we understand how important it is focusing on collecting blood donations and facilitating proper testing, while managing a safe and compliant blood bank for your donors and employees.
At Stericycle, we appreciate your role in collecting, storing, and distributing blood for patients in need, whether you are a nurse, a lab technician, or an office administrator. We also understand the effort it takes to handle the different regulated waste streams, while running an environment where your employees and facility are up-to-date with regulatory requirements.
We customize our solutions for your needs, whether you are a national blood bank or a local donor center supporting a small community.
Our solutions offer a variety of safe, secure, and compliant container options for the following types of waste generated in your facility.
Stericycle Biohazardous Medical Waste Solutions provide blood banks with the compliant collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of regulated waste generated from donation collections.
We recommend all regulated medical waste (RMW) or red bag waste generated from donations and testing procedures, including any items saturated with blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), such as bandages, gauze, PPE, tubes, or collection bags be disposed of safely in marked containers and stored for pickup.
Stericycle Sharps Solutions provide a range of containers and service options for the disposal of waste generated from blood transfusions, blood testing, or blood donations.
We recommend all sharps waste, such as needles, pipettes, test tubes, and testing slides, be safely disposed of in a designated sharps container to reduce needlestick injuries and keep employees safe.
Our Shred-it® secure information destruction service provides safe and secure destruction of paperwork generated through serving patients or other administrative tasks that contain patient protected health information or confidential information, such as donor names, addresses, or phone numbers.
We recommend all confidential information be locked in secure consoles prior to being securely shredded with Shred-it.
