Disposal of x-ray films from the medical sector

X-ray films with patient data must be disposed of and destroyed according to strict legal guidelines in order to prevent disclosure of data to unentitled parties. The waste disposal from the medical sector must follow the regulations outlined in the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act (Kreislaufwirtschafts- und Abfallgesetz KRW-/AbfG). Every producer of waste is subject to the guidelines for waste disposal according to §3 Clause 6. Infringement can lead to substantial fines.

Material to be disposed of:

• Control or error images during x-ray
• Defective x-ray films ( e. g. by too long storage)
• Destroyed x-ray films (e.g. by water damage)
• Files from archives which have been closed
• Patient data after expiration of legal archiving duration
