I was wondering what everyone out there is doing in regards to how long you are keeping medical hardware such as pins/screws/metal plates/pacemakers, etc. that come from surgeries and how you are disposing of them? I know the CAP requirement for wet tissue is 2 weeks after the final report, but is hardware included in that? Do they go through any sort of decontamination before disposing of them?
