Patients and heal
39、th care professionals expect these medical devices to be functionally and microbiologically safe. The safety of medical devices begins with the manufacturer and is supported and maintained by a system of national standards and government regulations that includes medical device licensing, constructi
40、on and performance standards, and problem reporting systems.Safe storage of single use and reusable medical devices is necessary to protect these devices from damage. Traditionally single use and reusable medical devices have been stored in sterile storage areas associated with operating room medica
41、l device reprocessing, and storage areas within the health care setting.In recent years, with the regionalization of health care services and the increased use of contract services as well as the purchase of single use sterile medical devices, health care settings have begun to use centralized facil
42、ities such as warehouses or on-site storerooms for the storage of single use and reusable medical devices. In these facilities, shipping containers of medical devices are opened or unpacked, and medical devices are stored in open inventory (split-case), bins, or totes until needed. These facilities
43、also pick medical devices and repack them into bins, totes, or case carts for transportation to the point of use. Off-site storage is also provided by some contract reprocessing and laundry services. These trends have resulted in the need to address warehouses that store and distribute open inventor

45、ng the storage of medical devices.This Standard should be used in conjunction with CSA Z314.0, Medical device reprocessing General requirements, which provides a framework to establish, document, and maintain requirements for the reprocessing of medical devices as part of a quality management system
46、, as well as other requirements for personnel, infection, prevention and control, occupational health and safety, area design, etc.1 Scope1.1 This Standard specifies requirements and recommended practices for the storage, handling, transportation, and distribution of single use and reusable medical
