If in doubt, contact ERT for guidance on further actions!
The following applies to products that are potentially contaminated by biological
working substances of risk group 3 and 2 according to the regulation on biological
substances and that are thus classified as Transport Category B:
Please contact ERT before returning the goods and observe the regulations for the
transport of dangerous goods.
2. Cleaning
If the products had contact with biological working substances (for example blood
or other body fluids), they have to be cleaned and disinfected in a combined
cleaning and disinfection procedure, unless a differing agreement has been made
with ERT.
As a rule, the products also have to be cleaned in order to minimize adhesions and
bacterial contamination. Unless body fluids, tissue or contrast agents etc. have
caused the product to be defective, deposits and adhesions should be removed
carefully without damaging or altering the product, if possible. For this, refer to
the notes on the preparation of products.
Products which have been contaminated by highly active pharmaceuticals have to
be cleaned appropriately with tap water.
Parts with sharp edges need to be packed particularly safe.
3. Disinfection/Sterilization
After cleaning, the products have to be disinfected and/or sterilized (only if
permitted for this medical product) in order to avoid harm to your and our
employees.
If in doubt or in case of suspected material incompatibility, please consult ERT.
4. Packaging
To avoid any contamination, the cleaned and disinfected product has to be packed
as follows:
a) Put it into a sealable primary packing.
b) Put the primary packing in a waterproof secondary packing (if possible use
hard packing material).
c) Pack the secondary packing with a neutral packing material.
For “Packaging and labeling of non-contaminated products“: see point 6.
