Hi,
If the manufacturers instructions deems them to be reusable and the instructions are given for the cleaning and reprocessing they can be reprocessed. However, CSD cannot reprocess single use items. Spacers are considered single patient use therefore cannot be reprocessed.

Hi
I am a very fresh Infection Control Coordinator. Only 18 months into the role from a Surgical Nursing Background.
I have had such a huge learning experience in this last two months!!
I was not sure how to word this question, and am a little shy to post on the ACIPCLIST.
Our ED NUM has asked if there are any products to disinfect spacers , so they can become shared equipment within our facility.
As there is such a shortage and people still have asthma attacks.
I have discussed with our pharmacist, regarding the cleaning process, but alas he only gave me information on how to clean them for continued one person use.
Your guidance or help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Kind Regards
Emily Stewart Infection Control Coordinator RN
