Appendix B: WEEE Statement (European Union)
The symbol above indicates that Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is not to
be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Equipment marked with this symbol is to be
collected separately.
The objectives of this program are to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the
environment, protect human health and utilize natural resources prudently and rationally.
Specific treatment of WEEE is indispensable in order to avoid the dispersion of pollutants into
the recycled material or waste stream. Such treatment is the most effective means of
protecting the customer's environment.
The waste collection, reuse, recycling, and recovery programs available to B Medical Systems
customers vary by customer location. Please contact the responsible body (e.g., your
laboratory manager) for information about local requirements.
