Infect Control. 1986 Nov;7(11):561-3.
Decisions about the reuse of single-use-only (disposable) medical devices should not be made "on-the-spot." Consistency of practice in all areas of the institution is of utmost concern. Practice should conform to the reuse policies established. Unless an institution can demonstrate and document that patient safety, correct processing, and device effectiveness are not compromised by reprocessing a single-use-only (disposable) medical device, reprocessing is not recommended.
关于一次性使用（即用即弃）医疗设备再利用的决策不应“当场”做出。机构所有领域的操作一致性至关重要。操作应符合既定的再利用政策。除非机构能够证明并记录对一次性使用（即用即弃）医疗设备进行再处理不会损害患者安全、正确的处理过程和设备有效性，否则不建议进行再处理。
