The NeedleSmart Professional (NS Pro) is a needle destruction device that is intended for use by individuals and healthcare professionals to safely destroy needles. It operates using an internal rechargeable Lithiumion battery pack which can be recharged using the power supply (wall charger) that is provided with the unit. The device is not intended to be used while connected to the charger. The NS Pro is activated when the user applies slight downward force on the syringe to insert the needle in the needle aperture disc in the top of the unit. The needle insertion activates a button beneath the insert disc. The needle is then contained by a hard-wearing quartz tube and a current is passed through the tip of the needle, thereby increasing its temperature. Once the needle has been heated to its melting point, it becomes soft and the melted content is collected within a hemispherical electrode. The molten metal gets compressed into a hemispherical 'stub' which is allowed to cool. It is then removed from the device and disposed into a sharps container.
