Reprocessing of single-use medical devices in cardiology: a systematic literature review of safety and performance characteristics applied to cardiac electrophysiology

The absence of adverse events and reliable performance associated with reprocessed EP catheters reported in this study may encourage European countries that have not yet authorized single-use medical device reprocessing to consider its adoption. However, the broader implementation of this practice remains contingent on its applicability and logistical feasibility within each national context.

Abstract

The absence of adverse events and reliable performance associated with reprocessed EP catheters reported in this study may encourage European countries that have not yet authorized single-use medical device reprocessing to consider its adoption. However, the broader implementation of this practice remains contingent on its applicability and logistical feasibility within each national context.
