MI SB0528

Prohibits health care providers from knowingly reusing, recycling, refurbishing, or providing for reuse of single-use medical devices, effective immediately upon the governor's approval on March 26, 2010.

Allows exceptions for devices reprocessed by FDA-registered reprocessors, opened but unused devices with breached sterility that have been resterilized, and single-use devices reused on the same patient in emergency situations.

Defines "reprocessed" to include any single-use device previously used on a patient and subjected to additional processing for use on a different patient, regardless of terminology like "recycled" or "refurbished."

Establishes penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment or $50,000 fine for health care providers who violate the prohibition; violations by health professionals trigger administrative action under the licensing statute.
