Reusable, single-use and reprocessed devices

Lesson 49 · Preparation and Packaging

Reusable, single-use and reprocessed devices

Cleaning up well does not make a used single-use device reusable. Its labeling decides, not its looks.

In this lesson

Tell a reusable device from a single-use one by its labeling, keep a used single-use device out of your sets, know what FDA requires of anyone who reprocesses one, and read a reprocessed device's label so you can name its manufacturer.
