FAQ
Is the BladeCASSETTE sterile?
Yes. The BladeCASSETTE is sterilised via Gamma radiation or ETO.
Can I have the BladeCASSETTE put into my procedure pack?
Yes. The BladeCASSETTE is available off-the-shelf or through procedure packs. Contact us to find out the distributor or Kit Packer in your area.
How do I dispose of the BladeCASSETTE after use?
After the count has been performed, the whole BladeCASSETTE set is disposed of as medical waste in a sharps container.
Why are there 3 cartridges in each BladeCASSETTE?
As BladeCASSETTE is designed for the sterile field, in consultation with healthcare professionals. After collecting feedback from healthcare professionals in the Operating Theatre, the BladeCASSETTE was designed with 3 cartridges to cater for most operations.
Can the BladeCASSETTE be re-used to remove more blades?
No. In keeping with the principals of universal precautions, BladeCASSETTE is designed for single-use only. The scalpel blade cannot be removed once it is securely contained in the cartridge. If you need to remove more than 3 blades, please use additional BladeCASSETTE.
Can I use two hands to operate BladeCASSETTE?
The process of activation, (i.e. pushing the loaded scalpel into the cartridge) should always be single-handed. There is no need to hold onto the BladeCASSETTE during this stage. Two hands are required only when removing the scalpel handle from the device after the blade is already safely secured in the cartridge.
Why is there red printing on the cartridges?
The red printing guides on each cartridge indicate the direction of which way of the loaded scalpel should be inserted. If the blade is inserted in the opposite direction, the device will not activate. For a video guide on how to use the BladeCASSETTE, please click here.
Is the BladeCASSETTE latex and DEHP free?
YES, it is latex and DEHP free. The BladeCASSETTE is made from polypropylene (PP).
Why is there a red and yellow BladeCASSETTE?
In the USA, Central America, and South America, sharps devices are recognised by the red colour. In most other countries, sharps devices are recognised by the yellow colour. BladeCASSETTE is designed to follow these standardised colour codes.
Please consult with your organisation if you are unsure which colour is standard in your area.
