Standard operating procedures for cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing foreign medical devices

Foreign medical devices are reusable medical devices that are rented or provided free of charge to hospitals by medical device manufacturers and companies, which are local special operating instruments based on ordinary surgical instruments. Due to the strong targeting of this type of equipment, expensive, complicated varieties, professional and rapid update, the general hospital is not routinely equipped with the corresponding distribution of orthopaedic implantation of human nature surgery instruments, power tools and so on are the most common.
