This includes information for processing prior to use or reuse of the medical device.

  4. disinfection;

  5. drying;

  6. inspection and maintenance;

  7. packaging;

  8. sterilization;

  9. storage;

  10. transportation.

This document excludes processing of the following:

  • non-critical medical devices unless they are intended to be sterilized;

  • textile devices used in patient draping systems or surgical clothing;

  • medical devices specified by the manufacturer for single use only and supplied ready for use.
