Single use, single patient use and limited use medical devices policy
Written by Non Clinical Risk Manager   

This policy is based on current recommendations made by the Medical Devices Agency (MDA) (now known as the Medicine and Healthcare Product Regulatory Agency (MHRA)) which clearly states that 'devices designated for Single Use must not be re-used ' (MHRA DB 2006 (04))

It has also been formulated in order to meet Department of Health guidelines, which state 'Never re-use medical devices designated for single-use' (NHS Executive 1999).


Aim

The aim of this policy is to set out the legal issues and implications of improper use associated with medical devices that have been designated as Single-Use, Single Patient Use and Limited Use Medical Devices Items.
