We process all clinical IT equipment from Louisville hospital systems and medical practices — with HIPAA-compliant secure data destruction and serialized chain-of-custody for every device
Most healthcare IT managers choose vendors with HIPAA BAA documentation, which is why Louisville compliance officers rely on STS for PHI chain-of-custody destruction
HIPAA-Compliant Disposal
Complete Medical IT Equipment Recycling in Louisville
Healthcare IT managers at Louisville health systems face competing demands: PHI data exposure risk, HIPAA audit documentation gaps, and multi-facility equipment refresh cycles. Norton Healthcare (24,000 employees) and UofL Health's 9-hospital network depend on verified ITAD partners for serialized PHI destruction records. STS provides Louisville healthcare ITAD services designed to meet the demanding compliance standards of Kentucky's largest health systems.
From diagnostic workstations and patient monitoring terminals to nursing station computers and administrative servers, every device is processed through our R2v3 certified facility with full PHI destruction documentation — no shortcuts, no compliance gaps.

How Is Medical Equipment Recycling HIPAA-Compliant?

R2v3 Certified
R2v3 certification ensures downstream tracking through final processing with certified smelter documentation and third-party auditing for every device we handle.
HIPAA Compliant
Full HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 compliance for PHI-bearing devices. Business Associate Agreements available for covered entities and their business associates.
Certificate of Destruction
Serialized Certificate of Destruction issued for every device. Audit-ready documentation supports HIPAA compliance reviews and regulatory inspections.
Chain-of-Custody

NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 Compliance
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verification of purge-level overwrite or physical destruction for all devices containing sensitive data. Per R2v3:2020 certification standards, downstream tracking must document materials through final processing at R2-certified smelters. Our Louisville data destruction services meet DoD 5220.22-M and HIPAA-compliant technical safeguard requirements, with witnessed destruction options and same-day Certificate of Destruction for Louisville hospital IT departments and compliance officers.
How does medical equipment recycling work in Louisville? STS Electronic Recycling provides HIPAA-compliant clinical equipment disposal with free pickup throughout Jefferson, Bullitt, and Oldham counties. Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 requirements, every PHI-bearing device at our 600,000 sq ft facility undergoes purge-level data sanitization before responsible material recovery and downstream chain-of-custody tracking.

We make the compliance process straightforward so your team can schedule quickly without administrative delays.
What certifications does STS hold?
STS Electronic Recycling is R2v3 certified, HIPAA compliant, and processes all devices under NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 and DoD 5220.22-M standards. Our Louisville ITAD services are backed by third-party audited certifications — giving healthcare facilities the verified credentials needed for HIPAA compliance documentation and vendor qualification reviews.
Do you provide audit documentation?
Absolutely. Every medical equipment pickup includes a full audit documentation package: itemized asset manifest, a serialized Certificate of Destruction, and downstream processing records. Baptist Health and other Louisville health systems use this documentation for internal compliance reviews, external audits, and HIPAA breach risk assessments. Call 502-628-6868 to discuss your requirements.
