Does the Daniels Washsmart remove all cytotoxic drug residue?
Yes, A study conducted in the UK with Daniels Sharpsmart sharps containers subjected to the Daniels washline process revealed the following:
- Sharpsmarts were coated with a cocktail of Cytotoxic Drugs at patient-use concentrations
- Surfaces were confirmed as heavily contaminated with cytotoxic drug residue prior to washing
- No cytotoxic drug residue was detected on Sharpsmart sharps containers on Daniels robotic washline surfaces after the washing process. Independent laboratory testing following challenge tests with cytotoxic drugs show no residue remaining in Sharpsmart sharps containers.
