Waste Disposal System And Waste Receiver For Receiving And Disposing Of Pharmaceutical Waste Material
A waste disposal system with a waste receiver for receiving pharmaceutical waste material. A locking assembly is secured to a fixed surface and actuated from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. A lock cylinder of the locking assembly may extend forward of a front wall of a receiver body of the waste receiver to engage a locking feature of the cover in the locked configuration. A cover retention feature may prevent axial decoupling of the cover from the receiver body. An engagement feature is moved to be disengaged from the receiver body, and the receiver body is moved away from the fixed surface to disengage the locking assembly from the cover. The cover is decoupled from the cover retention feature, and coupled with the receiver body to seal the pharmaceutical waste material. The locking assembly may be removed from a lock passageway for disposal of the waste receiver.
Port and surface cleaning devices and techniques
This disclosure describes example antimicrobial compositions that may be used in combination with IV port cleansing caps, protective caps, or both. According to another implementations, the disclosure describes various cap devices that may be used in combination with the antimicrobial composition to cleanse, sanitized, and/or disinfected a surface.
Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal Assembly
A pharmaceutical waste disposal assembly (10) for disposing of raw pharmaceutical waste includes a first receiver body and a second receiver body. The assembly further includes a first reaction agent and a second reaction agent. The first reaction agent and the second reaction agent renders the pharmaceutical waste unrecoverable. The first reaction agent can include at least one of a denaturant and a deterrent. Additionally, the first reaction agent can include activated charcoal.

Surgical Bowl Set
A surgical bowl set features a first rectilinear bowl having an internal length (1l) and an internal width (1w), and a second rectilinear bowl having an external length (2l) and an external width (2w), in which the external length (2l) is close to but less than internal length (1l) in order to permit the second bowl to fit lengthwise within the first bowl while allowing easy extraction of the second bowl from the first bowl, and the external width (2w) is about half or less of internal width (1w).

Method of disposing of waste receiver, waste receiver for pharmaceutical waste and method of assembling the waste receiver
A waste disposal system (30) with a waste receiver (32) for receiving pharmaceutical waste material. A locking assembly (34) is secured to a fixed surface and actuated from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. A lock cylinder of the locking assembly may extend forward of a front wall (44) of a receiver body (36) of the waste receiver to engage a locking feature of a cover (82) in the locked configuration. A cover retention feature (124) may prevent axial decoupling of the cover from the receiver body. The receiver body may be formed from two shells (62,64). A reaction agent (150) is positioned within the container volume and spaced apart from a bottom wall of the receiver body. The reaction agent may be positioned within the container volume between the lock passageway (94) and/or a solid receiver volume, and opposing sidewalls of the receiver body. A support may maintain the position of the reaction agent within the container volume.
