ABSTRACT:
A method for disposing of infectious medical waste in a closed system includes the steps of shredding the waste in the closed system to reduce the waste to small particles and indirectly heating the waste particles in the closed system by contacting the waste particles with a heated surface. The waste particles are indirectly heated to a sufficiently high temperature and for a sufficient period of time to produce a quantitative assurance of sterilization of the waste particles. Air is continuously drawn through the closed system to control the pressure and moisture in the closed system.
