Abstract: A drug and/or drug packaging shredding/collecting machine includes a cabinet defining an interior chamber which can be accessed through a front opening for housing and storing a container lid and container incident to the shredding of drugs and drug packaging by a shredder carried by a top wall of the cabinet. The top wall also includes a non-shredable drug/drug packaging opening which includes a flexible inlet guard. A door of the container includes a storage area for plastic locking ties which, after the lid is slid to a nested position with respect to a channel/flange of the container can lock the two together through registered openings thereof thereby preventing inadvertent/accidental spillage and/or providing an indication of pilfering.

Abstract: A medical treatment cart includes two compartments, each housing five individually slidable drawers which can be closed and locked by vertically pivoted doors in turn carrying individual and distinct locking mechanisms, such as different keys for associated locks or different combinations for combination locks. At least some of the drawers include patient baskets containing appropriate treatment supplies and medications with each patient basket being identified by name and room number with all odd numbered patient rooms being located on one side of the medical treatment cart and all even numbered patient rooms being located on another side of the medical treatment cart. Preferably, two nurses or like care-givers utilize opposite sides of the medical treatment cart to treat patients on opposite sides of the corridor in a typical medical facility.
