The consequences to the medical device manufacturer could include increases in: • Service calls to repair damaged devices • Warranty claims on damaged devices • Product returns of damaged devices TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Below are just a few examples of the many types of medical devices protected by rigid polymer housings and frequently cleaned with harsh disinfectants to fight HAI’s. Public Health Service, the incidence of hospital-acquired infections (HAI’s), such as MRSA and VRE, has increased approximately 36% in the last 20 years and today causes nearly 100,000 deaths annually.
