Because of the heterogeneous nature of medical disposables, it is hard to define a uniform safety standard that is applicable to all products. Although good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards outline the framework for manufacturing conditions, a coherent safety philosophy for medical disposables does not exist. This article defines safety as it applies to these products and describes the various factors that can affect product safety, including economy, design, and inadequate instructions for use.
