What is RMW? Regulated medical waste (RMW), also known as âbiohazardousâ waste or 'infectious medicalâ waste, is the portion of the waste stream that may be contaminated by blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials, thus posing a significant risk of transmitting infection.
What is considered âmedical wasteâ? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, medical waste is âwaste sufficiently capable of causing infection during handling and disposal.â This may include blood-soaked bandages, discarded surgical gloves, discarded sharps, and so on, all of which merit special handling and disposal.
