Small Quantity Generators
A medical facility which generates less than a total of 50
				  pounds of biomedical waste in any one month is exempt from the requirements of
				  this rule for that month with the following exceptions:
(1) The facility shall register in accordance
				with Section 11(A).
(2) Discarded
				sharps, as defined in Section 7(A)(4), and discarded cultures and stocks of

				transporter and accompanied by a four-part manifest unless the biomedical waste
				is taken by the generator to another medical facility or to a permitted
				biomedical waste transfer or treatment facility and the amount transported is
				less than 50 pounds.
(4) The
				generator or an employee of the generator may transport sharps packaged in
				accordance with this rule to a licensed biomedical waste treatment facility or
				another medical facility that has volunteered to serve as a collection point
				for sharps if no more than 50 pounds of sharps are transported in one trip.

Identification of Biomedical Waste
The following wastes may contain human pathogens of
				  sufficient virulence and in sufficient concentrations that exposure to them by
				  a susceptible host could result in disease and are, therefore, biomedical
				  wastes for the purposes of this rule.
(1) Discarded Human Blood, Blood Products,
				and Body Fluids: Discarded blood, serum, plasma, blood products, and body
				fluids. Body-fluids are defined as fluids which are generated or removed during
				surgery, autopsy, obstetrics, emergency care, or embalming and include
				cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid; peritoneal fluid,
				pericardial fluid and amniotic fluid.

				Products, or Body Fluids: These may include items such as sponges, surgical
				gloves and masks, drapes, aprons, dressings, disposable sheets and towels,
				underpads, plastic tubing, suction canisters, used syringes without needles and
				dialysis unit waste.
NOTE: The intent is to include waste which at the time of
				  generation is soaked or dripping with human blood, blood products or body
				  fluids. An example of material which may be included is a first change surgical
				  dressing.
(3) Pathological
				Waste: Human tissues, organs, and anatomical parts including teeth, discarded
				from surgery, autopsy, obstetrical procedures, and laboratory
				procedures.
(4) Discarded Sharps
				Used In Patient, Animal, Cadaver Care or In Medical and Biomedical Research
				Laboratories: These include, but are not limited to, hypodermic needles,
				syringes, scalpel blades, suture needles, disposable razors, lancets, capillary
				tubes, Pasteur pipettes, broken glassware, IV tubing with needles attached, and
				dialysis bags with needles attached.
(5) Discarded cultures and stocks of
				infectious agents and the culture dishes and devices used to transfer,
				inoculate and mix cultures; discarded clinical specimens and the associated
				containers or vials; discarded biologicals; and waste from the production of
				biologicals and recombinant DNA research.
