HOT TOPIC: Reprocessing & Reusing Single-Use Devices

QUESTION:

Our facility is currently reviewing surgical costs. We have heard that some facilities use reprocessed single-use devices, but we don’t understand how this is an option. How is this permissible when the device is marked by the manufacturer as “single-use”?
