Description

<p>In Japan, remanufactured single-use medical devices (R-SUD) have not yet appeared in the medical device market, but the collection of used SUD, which is the raw material, has already started in some medical facilities. The collection of used SUDs for medical facilities is not a conventional treatment of infectious medical waste, but a “sale of valuable resources”, which is an unfamiliar task for medical facilities. It is also necessary for the staff of the medical facility to arrange the administrative procedures for the sale and to determine the details of the specific collection method at the site where the SUD is consumed. When R-SUD products appear in the medical device market in the future, it is necessary to fully consider the merits and demerits of R-SUD when selecting whether to purchase original products or R-SUD products. It should also be noted that the significance of introducing R-SUD is not uniform depending on the position.</p>
