Proper Removal of Biohazard Materials Keeps Mission Valley Safe

4/7/2020 (Permalink)

San Diego can take advantage of our specialty cleaning services.

According to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), millions of Americans use “sharps” or medical devices with sharp points or edges that can puncture or cut the skin to manage their health at home or while traveling. They are used to manage medical conditions for people and pets such as allergies, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, infertility, migraines, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, blood clotting disorders and psoriasis. Medical devices like needles, syringes, lancets, auto injectors, infusion sets, and connection needles and sets are used every day and sometimes are not properly disposed of. This poses health risks to anyone who may come in contact with these instruments. SERVPRO^® of Mission Valley East wants San Diego residents to know that if you come across sharps that have not been properly disposed of by using an FDA-cleared sharps container, we want to help. If you are accidentally stuck by a used needle or other sharp the FDA suggests:

1. Wash the exposed area right away with water and soap or use a skin disinfectant (antiseptic) such as rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer.
2. Seek immediate medical attention by calling your physician or local hospital.
