What is a bio bottle?

UN3373 is a DG shipping classification under IATA DGR - Infectious Substances.

Infectious substances are substances known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens. Pathogens are defined as microorganisms (including bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi) and other agents, such as viruses, that can cause disease in humans or animals. Infectious substances are classified into two categories: A or B, depending on the degree of infectivity.

Infectious substances generally include the following: biological substances, biological products, patient specimens, medical waste.

Category A is an infectious substance that is transported in a form that is capable of causing permanent disability, life-threatening or fatal disease in otherwise healthy humans or animals when exposed to the substance.

Any biological infectious substance that does not meet the criteria for inclusion in Category A will be assigned to Category B infectious substances, with the identification number UN 3373, unless the source patient or animal has or is likely to have a serious and dangerous human or animal disease.
