AB  - Much  modern  medical  equipment  is  labeled  “disposable.”  When  resources  are  scarce,  the  luxury  of  not  reusing  serviceable  medical  equipment  cannot  be  sustained.  On  the  other  hand,  safety  regarding  equipment  reuse  is  paramount.  Patients  should  not  be  put  at  risk  either  through  introducing  infections  from  previously  used  equipment  or  by  using  malfunctioning  equipment.  This  chapter  discusses  the  guidelines  and  techniques  for  reusing,  cleaning,  and  sterilizing  medical  equipment.
