Should reprocessed medical devices be legal ?

Used kidney dialysis filter anyone ?

The next time you're in a hospital for any proceedure that utilizes a single use device be sure to ask them if it has been previously reprocessed , the kidney you save may be your own . [:'(]

I am all for recycling, but re-use especially in the medical field is BS!!!!

I bet if it is a used piece of equipment the hospital will still charge cost plus 1000%. I have a friend who sells the stuff to hospitals and you wouldn't believe the markup. Talk about price gouging.

Probably not as bad as the price gouging the Pharmecutical firms do, but ridiculous none the less.
