The Medical Supplies Department responsible for ordering items like forceps, grabbers, sheats,scissors,etc are planning to transfer such responsibility to our Biomedical department. They argue that since these items are not exactly "consummables" then it should come under BME. Is this argument correct?
My take is that since such items are hardly repairable, then we should not end up as a mere "procurement" for such items.
The time it takes also to try to repair them does not really justify the cost.
What does the EBME community think?
