Validation of Reprocessing for Reusable Medical Devices: Requirements, Possibilities and Limits
Access the webinar
About the webinar
Manufacturers of reusable medical devices are obliged to describe detailed procedures for reprocessing in their instructions. Reprocessing includes cleaning in the first and disinfection or sterilization in the second step. Each step has to be validated – but how can you do that?
The live webinar “Validation of Reprocessing for Reusable Medical Devices: Requirements, Possibilities and Limits” will cover the following key points:
- Requirements for EU markets and the impact of the new MDR
- Requirements of the FDA
- Considerations to be made prior to testing
- Workflow for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization testing of medical devices
- Tools and methods available at Eurofins
At the end of the webinar session there is going to be a Q&A Session with the expert, where you would get a chance to clarify some specific cases.
