Are the contents of the distal ileum (portion of the small intestine) considered SRM?
No. While the distal ileum itself is considered SRM, its contents are not. The distal ileum should be removed using dedicated tools and placed into designated SRM bins. The floor waste and wastewater generated in and around the area where the distal ileum is removed will not be considered SRM provided the segregation of distal ileum is maintained from other materials.
