Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC)
There is an increasing interest in the proper disposal of used electronic equipment. The European
Union (EU) has developed the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive to
ensure that systems for collection, treatment and recycling of electronic waste will be in place
throughout the European Union.
Ultrasound Technologies Position with regard to the WEEE Directive
1
Product recycling is nothing new and Ultrasound Technologies have implemented processes in
each member state where the company has a presence. Ultrasound Technologies will comply with
the provisions of the WEEE Directive and national implementing legislation.
Instructions for Disposal of Waste Equipment by Users in Private Households
2
This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed
of with your other household waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of your waste
equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical
and electronic equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the
time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a
manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you
can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local waste disposal authority,
your household waste disposal service or the supplier where you purchased the product.
As a producer of electronic devices, Ultrasound Technologies will provide for the financing of the
treatment and recycling of waste returned through these designated collection points in accordance
with local requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of Waste Equipment by Commercial Users
3
For users of Ultrasound Technologies equipment, other than private households, Ultrasound
Technologies will provide free recycling of equivalent medical electronic equipment once a
customer has returned the equipment to Ultrasound Technologies, with all transport and importation
costs paid, and where a replacement product is being supplied by Ultrasound Technologies. Where
a replacement product is not being supplied, recycling services may be provided on request at
additional cost.
RoHS
The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive (2002/95/EC), compliments the WEEE
Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the point of
manufacture.
Ultrasound Technologies is a manufacturer of Medical Devices and is currently exempt from this
directive.
However at Ultrasound Technologies we take our responsibilities to the environment very seriously
and currently 100% of our entire manufacturing process and parts meet the RoHS directive and we
are therefore fully compliant..
