HealthBeacon warns sales of Sharps Bins could be hit by chip shortage

This temporary delay in production means the company may only deploy 15,000 Sharp Bins this year.

HealthBeacon said its supply of Sharps Bins for injections could be impacted due to the global chip crunch.

Dublin-based med-tech company HealthBeacon said it is experiencing “unanticipated delays” in its supply chain which may affect its sales for the rest of the year.

The delays relate mainly to getting computer chip components for the company’s Smart Sharp Bins for disposing of injections.
