Regulated medical waste (RMW), also known as biohazardous waste or infectious medical waste, is any waste that may contain blood, body fluids, or other potentially infectious materials, thus posing a significant risk of transmitting infection.
RMW is generated in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, laboratories, dental offices, and veterinary hospitals. It can also be generated in research facilities and other settings where biological materials are handled.
RMW is regulated by federal and state laws to protect the public and healthcare workers from exposure to infectious diseases. These laws require that RMW be properly segregated, packaged, transported, and disposed of.
Examples of RMW include:
- Pathological waste, such as human tissues, organs, and body parts
- Sharps, such as needles, syringes, and lancets
- Blood and blood products
- Cultures and stocks of infectious agents
- Isolation waste from patients with highly contagious diseases
- Contaminated animal carcasses, body parts, and bedding
