The following companies provide resources needed to manage hazardous drugs and hazardous waste appropriately. While PharmEcology is not responsible for their performance, we have listed companies with which we are familiar and which have provided valuable products and services in the past.
Carmel Pharma is the market leader in the safe handling arena, providing the only clinically proven closed-system available known as PhaSeal. The PhaSeal System is manufactured by Carmel Pharma AB in Gothenburg, Sweden and is distributed from its U.S. subsidiary, Carmel Pharma, Inc., in Columbus, OH. PhaSeal has been in use in the U.S. since 2000 and has been implemented in over 500 cancer centers, oncology practices, specialty pharmacies in the United States, including M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX, Texas Children’s and UCSF. If you have questions regarding the PhaSeal System or Carmel Pharma, Inc., please contact Christine Crooks, Director of Marketing at 866-487-9250 ext.202, or email them at info@carmelpharmausa.com.
Covidien's SharpSafety Division manufactures a complete line of containers for the disposal of all pharmaceutical waste, with distinctive containers for hazardous pharmaceutical waste, non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste, trace chemotherapy waste, and biohazardous waste. Because Covidien offers such a complete product line, Pharmecology has worked closely with Covidien to include detailed product-specific container recommendations in all Pharmecology's services.
Covidien's line of containers for the disposal of non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste are blue and white in color to be easily distinguished from sharps, trace chemo, and other disposal containers.
Containers range from 2 gallon to 18 gallon in size and include tamper evident labels. Leak-resistant gasketing and absorbent pads help contain liquid contents. In-room wall enclosures, wire brackets, table top holders, and locking floor carts are available.
Covidien also manufactures a complete line of containers for the disposal of hazardous pharmaceutical waste, including RCRA hazardous pharmaceutical waste and waste classified as hazardous under our broader criteria of PharmE® Hazardous Waste. These containers are black in color to be easily distinguished from sharps, trace chemo, and other disposal containers. They range from 1.5 quart to 18 gallon in size, meet all EPA labeling requirements, and are DOT Packing Group II rated (other than the 1.5 quart and 5 gallon sizes). Leak-resistant gasketing and absorbent pads help contain liquid contents. In-room wall enclosures, wire brackets, table top holders, and locking floor carts are available.
For additional information on Covidien's containers, please contact: Marianne O'Brien, Product Manager, SharpSafety Division, Covidien, (508) 261-8427, Marianne.O'Brien@covidien.com.
