Abstract

As the medical device industry proliferates and the need for complex reusable medical equipment increases, human factors in reprocessing needs to be at the forefront of the design process. If errors are made during reprocessing, devices may do more harm than good. Implementing human factors in the design of reusable medical equipment and reprocessing procedures will result in safer and more effective devices.
