“…Catheters are expensive and to decrease costs, many hospitals choose to reuse catheters (Pinto and Graziano, 2000). The risk of reprocessing this kind of accessory could contribute to increased risk of infection of the patient even though the catheter is cleaned up and sterilized, guaranteeing the absence of microorganisms or toxic agents and, especially, the retention of the functional characteristics of such products for reuse (Silva, 2005).…”

“…Na avaliação quanto à integridade de materiais reusados, estudos que utilizaram como corpos de prova cateteres vasculares evidenciaram danos, desgaste na sua superfície (4,5), aumento da rigidez e quebra (6) . As metodologias empregadas por estes trabalhos incluíram microscopia eletrônica (6) e inspeção visual com ampliação de até 30 vezes (4) .…”

“…As metodologias empregadas por estes trabalhos incluíram microscopia eletrônica (6) e inspeção visual com ampliação de até 30 vezes (4) . Devido ao risco de quebra desses dispositivos dentro do corpo humano e suas consequências para o paciente, recomenda-se limitar o número de reúsos aos quais o material será submetido.…”

“…For example, EO sterilization of PVC materials requires mechanical aeration for 8 to 12 hours at 50 to 60°C (11) , whereas the time required for environmental aeration is 7 days (11) . Two studies (6)(7) that showed compatibility of the two methods employed cytotoxic tests of cell cultures to evaluate the effectiveness of the aeration method used in the sterilization process to remove EO residues and by-products (12) . In those methods, the sterilized samples were tested in living cells under conditions designed to model the effects that contact with material containing toxic residues would have in clinical practice.…”
