Tufpak® is the original manufacturer of Autoclave Bags to industry, recognized for products that have been specifically engineered for use in critical Level 3 and 4 containment research labs.
Autoclavable Biohazard Bags have the biohazard symbol printed on them as well as usage instructions as required by OSHA for proper handling and personnel safety. Biohazard bags are Regulated by State and Federal Laws and determination of the right product for any application should first be reviewed by the facility Safety Officer. MSDS and Technical Data sheets are available by request only, for incorporating into written SOP's by Safety Officers.
In all cases, proper containment of potentially hazardous infectious material requires the bags to meet various strength standards. Individual States regulate separately, resulting in a range of specifications. All States require a clearly stated need for the bag to resist a specified impact to reduce the likelihood of bursting. Some States go further, requiring a minimum resistance to tearing, so as to reduce likelihood of a puncture, propagating into a major opening.
Infectious waste can be rendered sterile with the use of high temperature steam for a pre-determined time period as gained in the use of commercial autoclaves. Such sterile waste is now more economical for transport and disposal. Our autoclavable biohazard bags clearly show when the bag has been processed through an autoclave cycle. We imprint a hidden graphic message of compliance on the outside of each bag, which becomes visibly readable only after achieving proper autoclaving conditions of heat, steam and pressure. Our temperature indicator printed on all Biohazard Bags after exposure reads "Contents Have Been Autoclaved".
Infectious waste can also be incinerated (before or after) as long as it is handled in bags meeting the strength specifications in related states. Those bags made only for incineration, will not survive the rigors of sterilization by autoclave. Incineration is under recent Federal Regulatory examination because of the possible atmospheric contamination of Dioxins from incineration by-products of polyvinyl chloride materials.
