[Pharmwaste] How is warfarin disposed at your Hospital?

[Winston, Kathy]

No, but I am interested to see the test results. I can't see how an autoclave could get hot enough to destroy the residues.

I recently came across a Hospital during a Hazardous Waste Inspection that claims steam sterilized Warfarin contaminated containers are no longer "P Waste."  Has anyone seen this? or records of analysis that can back this up?  I'm waiting on submission of test results, but thought I would see if anyone else has heard of this.
