When Dräger tubes have been used, or unopened tubes have exceeded their expiry date, they should
be disposed of using one of the following methods:
Used Tubes Submerge the tube(s) in a beaker or metal container filled with water and allow to
soak for 24 hours. Treat the residual water in accordance with local authority waste regulations (some
tube aqueous waste may require neutralisation prior to disposal). Place the tubes in a “sharps” or
glass bin wearing protective gloves and safety spectacles. Dispose of the bin via the company’s
normal industrial waste disposal method(s) i.e. landfill or incineration.
OR Place the tubes in a “sharps” or glass bin wearing protective gloves and safety spectacles.
Dispose of the bin via the company’s normal hazardous waste disposal method(s) i.e. landfill or
incineration.
Unused Tubes Open the Dräger tube at both ends using the special tube opener or the cutter on
the hand pump. Break any ampoules where applicable. Dispose of the tubes as stated in Methods 1,

NOTE: As an alternative a local authority approved waste disposal contractor can be employed to
collect used and unused tubes from site and dispose of them in a safe manner.
