Keywords:
Equipment reuse. Patient safety. Sterilization. Cross infection. Health surveillance of products. Equipment and supplies.Abstract
Objective: To analyze the legitimacy of label single-use blades to sternotomy by assessing the risk of sterilization failure and functionality. Method: Analytical research, based in an algorithm for decision making regarding the reuse of materials. Results: Based on the reference adopted, it was possible to classify the sternotomy blade reprocessing as low risk in terms of infection and loss of functionality after repeated use. Conclusion: The reuse of sternotomy blades is safe. The possibility of reuse must be defined at each use, taking into account the functionality informed by the surgeon. The integrity of the saw must be further confirmed by visual inspection using magnifying lens. Therefore, the material shall not be marketed as single use.References
