MESSAGES
  • Correct reprocessing steps and their knowledge are weapons against SSIs and assure patient trustworthiness in healthcare institutions.
  • A look at medical device decontamination of the future: As medical devices become more complicated, the risks of inadequate decontamination are likely to grow; we need to embrace the latest systems to ensure the
    safest possible decontamination.
  • There are challenges with minimal invasive surgeries and robotic instruments and they are extremely expensive.
  • Quality assessment of the reprocessing process is mandatory and essential to ensure compliance with guidelines. ATP is a good marker for the cleaning
  • HTA combines the appraisal of the technological, clinical, economic and organizational factors of reprocessing.
