With the rapid advancement and intelligent upgrading of medical technology, medical service equipment is being updated and replaced at an unprecedented rate, resulting in... The number of discarded medical devices continues to grow. This type of waste presents both resource value and potential risks. it often contains precious metals and high-precision components. While recyclable resources such as recyclable materials can be disposed of, they may also carry pathogens, chemical reagents, and other harmful substances. Improper disposal can easily lead to environmental pollution and endanger [the environment]. This also raises concerns about public health. Furthermore, the large amount of sensitive patient information stored in the devices necessitates the secure destruction of this data. GB/T 38099 "Requirements for the Treatment of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" aims to provide systematic guidance for the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment, and is proposed to consist of four parts. constitute.
