medical device reprocessing
Medical device reprocessing is the cleaning, refurbishing, and sterilizing of medical equipment that is intended for single use but can be safely used again. This process ensures that devices, such as surgical tools or scopes, are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, meeting strict safety standards before reuse. By reprocessing these devices, healthcare facilities can reduce waste, lower costs, and ensure that patients have access to the necessary tools without compromising safety. Regulatory bodies monitor this practice to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
