Overview

This is an ASP Healthcare FITSAFE™ 250 mL sharps container, supplied as a single container.

Sharps Container 250mL is available in New Zealand through Aus BAC Supply, dispatched from Melbourne with tracked delivery.

It is the disposal end of the syringes and needles this store already sells. Used sharps go in through the neck and stay there — syringes, needles, pen needles and blood glucose test strips all fit the same opening. The lid is a child-resistant screw top rather than a push-fit cap, which is what keeps a part-full container closed to anyone who should not open it while still letting it be reopened between uses.

The body is blow-moulded from high-density polyethylene in one piece, so there is no seam for a needle to work through. The fill line sits below the shoulder and marks 225 mL of the container's 250 mL — that is where filling stops, not where the container ends.

At 16 cm high and 5 cm in diameter it is a bottle rather than a bin: it stands on a shelf, goes in a bag, and takes up about the space of a drink bottle.

The container is made in Australia by ASP Healthcare, manufactured to conform to AS 4939:2001 — the Australian Standard for single-use containers for the collection of sharp medical items — under a quality system the manufacturer states is certified to ISO 9001.

Supplied as a laboratory consumable alongside our syringes and swabs. Fill it to the line and no further, screw the lid down when full, and dispose of it as your state or territory requires — a full sharps container is regulated waste and does not go in household rubbish or recycling.

DirectionsPut used sharps in through the neck point-first and do not force them. Never reach into the container, tip it out, or try to retrieve anything from it. Keep the lid screwed down between uses. Fill only to the marked fill line, then close the lid fully. Single-use: do not empty or re-use a container. A full container is regulated waste — dispose of it through the route your state or territory requires, not in household rubbish or recycling.
StorageStore upright with the lid screwed down, out of reach of children, away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not use a container whose lid does not seat and turn properly.

FAQ

Do the syringes you sell fit in it?

Yes. The 0.5 mL U-100 insulin syringes in our 20-pack go in whole and point-first through the neck, with the needle still attached — nothing has to be detached first.

How much does it actually hold?

225 mL to the fill line, of a 250 mL container. The line is where filling stops — a sharps container is not meant to be filled to the brim.

What can go in it?

Used sharps: syringes, needles, pen needles and blood glucose test strips all fit through the neck. Nothing should ever be forced in, and nothing should ever be taken back out.

How is the lid child-resistant?

It is a screw top rather than a push-fit cap, so it cannot be pulled off — it has to be deliberately unscrewed. That is what keeps a part-full container closed between uses.

How big is it?

16 cm high and 5 cm in diameter — about the footprint of a drink bottle, so it stands on a shelf or goes in a bag.

What standard is it made to?

AS 4939:2001, the Australian Standard for single-use containers for the collection of sharp medical items. It is made in Australia by ASP Healthcare, who state their manufacturing is certified to ISO 9001.

What do I do with it once it's full?

Screw the lid down and dispose of it as your state or territory requires. A full sharps container is regulated waste — it does not go in household rubbish or in recycling, and it must never be emptied or re-used.
