Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Sharps Technology Inc. focuses on "Better Health for All" by developing safety syringes designed to reduce needlestick injuries and medication waste.

Additionally, reports suggest a 2019 HIPAA violation led to a $70,000 fine for delays in providing medical records, indicating past data handling weaknesses.
