Recyclable Waste
Methods for sorting, collecting, transporting and disposing of recyclable products must be specifically
analyzed for each facility and location. The optional use of disposable and reusable products is an important
consideration in recycling and waste disposal alternatives.
Soiled Linen
Soiled reusable linens may be generated in exam rooms and prep rooms. Soiled linens are collected in carts or
hampers (depending on volume) and are held in Soiled Utility Rooms pending transport to the laundry facility.
Disposable linens are included with recyclable waste or medical waste as appropriate.
Reusable Medical Equipment (RME)
For the EEG, reusable utensils, instruments, and electrodes which are used in exam and treatment areas,
are wiped down on the unit and packaged for transport to the Sterile Processing Department (SPD). Specific
protocols for utensil and instrument reprocessing shall be confirmed with each individual facility.
