Cactus Smart Sink® Controlled Substance Waste Management System

Stryker’s Cactus Smart Sink System is designed to safely and easily dispose of controlled substance waste that would otherwise be discarded in red sharps containers, waste bins or down the drain. The Cactus Smart Sink System helps bring your medical facility into compliance by providing proper disposal while simplifying the controlled substance waste management process. It renders the waste non-retrievable and unusable so the remaining portions of controlled substances do not end up in the wrong hands or impact the environment.

Key features:

  • 15.5”W x 12.5”H x 9.5”D
  • Holds approximately 1.7 liters of solid waste
  • Holds approximately 3.0 liters of liquid waste
  • “Fast fill” button accommodates waste disposal in large quantities
  • Audible and visual alerts notify staff when cartridges become full or expire, or when unit has been accessed
  • Includes battery or optional AC power adapter 
  • Includes security lock and key
  • Includes hanging wall bracket

Using the Cactus Smart Sink System

The battery powered Cactus Smart Sink System conveniently mounts on a wall or countertop in minutes and can be used anywhere medications are dispensed or administered by healthcare professionals. The innovative controlled substance waste disposal system accepts unused pharmaceuticals in both liquid and solid forms, including patches. It incorporates two types of cartridges, one for liquid waste and one for solid waste. Both cartridges have the ability to render the remaining portions of controlled substance waste into an unrecoverable and unusable form and securely store them until they can be disposed of per regulatory guidelines.

The Cactus Smart Sink System is designed to accept raw liquid pharmaceuticals directly from syringes, vials or IV bags. It also features a one-way funnel that accepts tablets, capsules and patches. The Cactus Smart Sink System includes audible alerts and alert lights to notify staff when the cartridges are full, have expired or when the unit has been accessed. The system cannot be removed from the security bracket without the key and does not accept sharps, vials and/or IV bags. 

Applications and installation

Installing your Cactus Smart Sink System is quick and easy!

The Cactus Smart Sink System is completely self-contained and automatic with no complicated buttons or complex instructions. The system can be securely installed in any location where medications are dispensed or administered by healthcare professionals. The unit can be securely fastened on a wall or countertop with the provided bracket and mounting hardware. Automatic alerts will sound when the cartridges are full, have expired or when the unit has been accessed. A low battery warning light will alert staff when battery replacement is required. With normal use, the battery typically lasts twelve months (AC adapters are also available).
