Sharps Sterilization and Disposal Equipment

• Dimension: 28”D x 12”W x 14”H
• Processing Time: Approx. 3 Hours
• Disposal Capacity: 1 Gallon
• Waste Type: Sharps & Red Bag

The TE-5000 is an onsite biomedical waste treatment system that converts sharps waste and red bag waste to non-infectious, solid waste through the application of dry heat at temperatures between 350-400°F.

It is notable that the Thermal Eliminator® TE-5000 is the only on-site, desktop biomedical waste management system approved for use as an alternative medical waste treatment device that treat both sharps and red bag waste.

Once the Container is full and sealed, it is placed into the Thermal Eliminator® TE-5000 for sterilization.

Upon treatment cycle completion, the waste is sterile, and sharps are formed into a non-recognizable solid waste end product that may be disposed of by routine trash disposal means.

The system firmware is equipped with fail-safe measures to ensure that all waste treated in the system meets minimum regulatory requirements for resident temperature and process time duration.

Onsite Waste Manages Your Compliance Reporting In The Cloud

The TE-5000 is a smart system, constantly monitoring and controlling itself as waste is processed. Once the cycle is complete, the TE-5000 sends all required documentation for compliance to our cloud-based system. Whenever you need to, you can log into the OnSite compliance portal to view and download your regulatory reporting.

No more manifests and binders necessary.

The TE-5000 process uses dry heat to sterilize biomedical waste. Sterilization can be defined as a monitored, validated process used to render material free of all forms of viable organisms, including bacterial endospores.

Bacterial and Viral Efficacy

A series of independent performance tests were commissioned in support of state regulatory approval for the Thermal Eliminator® TE-5000.

These studies were conducted at Stanford University, Kansas State University, NUI Maynooth University, Cruinn Diagnostic Laboratories and private independent laboratories.

A minimum 6 log10 (99.9999%) kill criteria has been demonstrated utilizing the following organisms: B. subtilis (spores), Bacillus autrophaeus (spores), S. aureus, C. albicans, M. fortuitum, M. bovis, M. phlei, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and Giardia spp.

The inactivation of Duck Hepatitus virus as an indicator viral organism was demonstrated at a level of at least 2.2 x 105 through efficacy studies conducted at Stanford University.

Emissions Testing

The Thermal Eliminator® TE-5000 meets all emissions requirements including the EPA’s test standard for bacteria- free emissions. A dual filtration system has been incorporated to virtually eliminate odor and serve in a redundant safety capacity. Absence of bio-aerosols and odor during operation was verified by an independent evaluation.
