subject: Meet The New Scriptstroyer Pill Bottle Shredder [print this page] With the rise of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) it's become vital that pharmacies, doctor's offices, and other health providers properly destroy patient information. This includes medical records, therapy session notes, and even pill bottles. A high-security paper shredder can help you deal with with the paper files, but you might be wondering how you can get rid of pill bottles and if it's even necessary. First off, yes, it's necessary to destroy pill bottles. After all, they contain a person's full name, physician information, prescription number, and the name of the medication the person was prescribed. All of this information is sought after by identity thieves; it's also protected information according to HIPPA and thus, it must be dealt with properly. One machine that can help you do that is Martin Yale's new ScriptStroyer pharmacy shredder. This is a powerhouse machine that needs to be in every medical office, hospital, and drugstore in America. To find out more about the ScriptStroyer, please continue reading.
Martin Yale's ScriptStroyer is a revolutionary new machine that can destroy both pill bottles (including the lids and labels) and sheets with prescription labels. It has the capability of destroying both wet and dry bottles, so you don't need to have two separate machines to destroy cough syrup bottles and pill vials, for example. The ScriptStroyer has two openings - one for bottles, the other for paper. (The paper slot can accommodate 10 sheets of 20 lb. paper in a single pass. Also, it measures 9 1/16" across.) This is a cross-cut shredder and the pieces it produces measure 5/32 x 1.5". To shred a pill bottle, all you need to do is open up the bottle drawer, drop in what needs to be shredded, and you're done, thanks to the ScriptStroyer's automatic shut-off feature. This is a machine that's very easy to use, which means you'll no longer have an excuse to not comply with HIPPA regulations.
The ScriptStroyer was designed so it could easily be stored under a desk or pharmacy counter, so people can have easy access to it without it getting in the way. This is also a very quiet shredder, so it won't disturb your patients, customers, and colleagues. And, perhaps best of all, the ScriptStroyer is almost maintenance-free. The machine comes with an automatic oiler that continually lubricates the cutting mechanism which ensures that your machine will be able to work for a long time. It also cuts down on the likelihood of label adhesive and other sticky materials destroying the shredding heads on your machine. The automatic oiler really makes the ScriptStroyer the ideal shredder for businesses that need to destroy health information on a regular basis.
