Reprocessed or refurbished medical devices are devices that have been previously used and by performing certain validated processes such as disinfection and sterilization, are readied for use again. Reprocessing involves three steps that are point of use processing, thorough cleaning, and disinfection or sterilization. After performing these tasks the device is tested, if necessary remanufacturing is also performed and then packaging and labelling is carried out. These devices usually cost a fraction of the original new device and thus, are widely preferred in cost-sensitive regions such as India and China.
