"Beyond use dates" vs single use items

  • 1.  "Beyond use dates" vs single use items

    Hello to my incredible group of AMB care nurses!!!

    I hope you all are having a rockstar week so far. My organization is looking at creating guidance for our staff on when and what to use beyond use dates on as well as if an item can even be used as multiuse vs single use only. We know there are some items that tell us what type of usage is intended on the bottles but others that have traditionally been debatable. Does anyone have any information/guidance that they can and are willing to share as reference for us? I am also reaching out to the librarians in my organization for assistance as well. But sometimes I get better leads from you all :)

    Thanks!!
    Daniele
