11.7 Notes on reprocessing of
resterilizable products
11.7.1 General
Products
Reusable products supplied by Leica Microsystems (Schweiz) AG
such as rotary knobs, objective protective glasses and capping
pieces.
Limitation of reprocessing
For the medical devices used on patients suffering from Creutzfeldt
Jacob Disease (CJD) or suspected of having CJD or variant CJD, the
local statutory requirements have to be met. Normally resterilizable
products used on this group of patients are to be eliminated
without risk by incineration.
Occupational safety and health protection
Particular attention must be paid to the occupational safety and
health protection of the persons responsible for preparing
contaminated products. Current regulations of hospital hygiene and
prevention of infection must be observed in the preparation,
cleaning and disinfection of the products.
Limitation of reprocessing
Frequent reprocessing has little effects on these products. The end
of the product life cycle is usually determined by wear and tear and
damage throughuse.
