چکیده
Today's economic environment has compelled health care organizations to explore methods to reduce health care costs. One prospective approach to controlling rising costs is to reprocess single-use medical devices. Reprocessing is rigorously regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). AORN, the Association of periOpera-tive Registered Nurses, recognizes the need for each health care facility to provide safe, cost-effective , quality care to patients and realizes that many facilities in today's marketplace are reprocessing and reusing devices labeled for single use. These devices are reprocessed either within the facility or by an external third party contracted to provide the reprocessing service.
