AORN Guidance Statement: Reuse of Single-Use Devices
Reprocessing single-use medical devices is chosen by some health care facilities as a cost containment effort and to reduce the amount of waste generated. It is the role and responsibility of each health care facility to determine whether and to what extent it will engage in such practice. The purpose of this guidance statement is to provide a framework that health care practitioners can use to develop and implement policies and procedures for reuse of single-use medical devices.
