Operating Instructions

Use the biohazard waste bag as follows:

1. Collect Waste: Place appropriate biohazard waste materials into the bag. Do not overfill.
2. Prepare for Sealing: Once the bag is full or waste collection is complete, fold down the top section of the bag where the sealing tape is located.
3. Seal the Bag: Peel off the second protective liner from the sealing tape. Apply firm pressure across the tape to create a secure, permanent seal.
4. Dispose: Dispose of the sealed biohazard waste bag according to all applicable State, Federal, and Local regulations for biohazard waste.

Maintenance

CareTek Biohazard Waste Bags are designed for single-use and require no maintenance. Once sealed and disposed of, they should not be reused.

Troubleshooting

• Bag not adhering properly: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Rough or dusty surfaces may prevent proper adhesion. Apply firm, even pressure when attaching.
• Seal not holding: Ensure the sealing tape liner is fully removed and firm, even pressure is applied across the entire tape strip during sealing. Do not overfill the bag, as this can strain the seal.
• Adhesive residue on surface: As noted, the adhesive may discolor some surfaces. If residue occurs, consult appropriate cleaning methods for the surface material. Testing on an inconspicuous area beforehand is recommended.
