Waste disposal

Risk of infection
After becoming waste at the end-of-life, this instrument and its accessories are regarded as infectious.
They are therefore exempted from Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and
may not be collected by public recycling authorities, to prevent possible risk of infection of personnel
working at those facilities.

Warning
• Do not dispose of the instrument, accessories, or consumables via public recycling.
• Incineration of contaminated parts is recommended.
• Please contact your authorized local Sysmex representative to receive further instructions for disposal.
Follow local legal requirements at all times.

Caution
Waste effluents from the instrument may contain dangerous substances, and any decisions regarding
disposal should be made only after consultation with local water authorities.

Waste end-of-life equipment should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. It should be
collected separately.
