Disposal
Reocor D is marked with the symbol of a crossed-out
garbage can on its type plate. The symbol indicates
that the European guideline 2002/96/EC on waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE directive)
applies to the disposal method of the device.
Old devices and accessories that are no longer
needed, such as patient cables and adapters, should
be returned to BIOTRONIK. This ensures that proper
disposal will be carried out in accordance with the
national implementations of the WEEE directive.
Note:
Cables to be disposed of due to contact with blood

with environmental regulations. Non-contaminated
cables must be disposed of in accordance with the
European Directive 2002/96/EC regarding waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
Depleted batteries must be treated as hazardous
waste and disposed of by the user.
