What does single-use mean?
A single-use device is used on an individual patient during a single procedure and then
discarded. It is not intended to be reprocessed and used again, even on the same patient.
Is single patient use the same as single-use?
These are not the same. Single patient use means the medical device may be used for more
than one episode of use on one patient only; the device may undergo some form of
reprocessing between each use. Items should not be labelled as “single patient use” and also
contain the symbol . If this is the case, the manufacturer should be contacted for
clarification
Single use devices
A single use device (SUD) is a medical device that is intended to be used on an
individual patient during a single procedure and then discarded. Medical devices
that are for single use must be clearly labelled with the words “do not reuse”. The
synonymous terms for “do not reuse” are “single use” or “use only once”. This
wording can be replaced by the symbol: .....
Single patient use devices
A medical device that is intended for single-patient use means that the device may
be used for more than one episode of use on one patient only. The device may be
reprocessed between each use as per manufacturer’s instructions. Examples
include nebuliser tubing / masks and some infusion equipment.
