Healthcare equipment requires qualification before collection
Hospital assets may involve data, contact with clinical environments, accessories, fluids, radiation sources or decontamination requirements. Ecobraz assesses decommissioned electronic equipment within the agreed scope and the conditions declared by the waste generator.
Examples for assessment
- Monitors, pumps, diagnostic and laboratory equipment;
- Computers, servers and clinical support electronics;
- Electronic dental and veterinary equipment;
- Power supplies, cables, batteries, accessories and peripherals;
- Asset batches from hospitals, clinics and laboratories.
Information required for a proper analysis
- Manufacturer, model, quantity and photographs;
- Operational condition and reason for decommissioning;
- Decontamination declaration or procedure where applicable;
- Presence of data, fluids, radiation sources or controlled components;
- Weight, dimensions and access restrictions.
Important limits
Infectious, chemical or radioactive waste, as well as unidentified materials, must not be mixed into the electronic batch. Acceptance depends on characterisation and on the approved scope.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ecobraz issue asset write-offs?
The asset write-off is an internal process of the owner. Ecobraz can provide the records defined in the scope to support the documentation trail.
Can equipment with a radiation source be collected?
No. Ecobraz does not collect equipment or waste with chemical, biological or radioactive contamination. Electronic hospital equipment only enters assessment upon a declaration of absence of contamination and the prior removal of radiation sources and controlled components by a qualified professional.
