ABSTRACT:
A machine for destroying, disinfecting and collecting in safe, removable, disposable containers hypodermic needles and syringes containing medical contaminants. The device includes a compact housing which is easily portable, a shear housing containing removable and serviceable shear blades and a shear member. A safety container which includes a clear visual top is used and collects the destroyed needles and syringes in a container that can be subsequently readily disposed of. A low RPM high torque motor is used to greatly reduce the noise of operation of the device. A front observation window in the housing permits the viewer to determine how full the safety container is visually through the clear top of the safety container.
