Environmental, Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Hospital Resources to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Infections

Environmental, Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Hospital Resources to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Infections: Almost all of the products included in this Technical Brief are classified as “medical devices” by the FDA, so we therefore use the term “device” throughout the report to refer to all of the items we reviewed. For devices that are used more than once, we included devices approved as reusable by the FDA, as well as those designated as single-use which are authorized for reprocessing.
