The importance of ensuring your products and instruments are clean and sterile every time they come into contact with a patient or end user cannot be overstated. The burden of responsibility falls on the manufacturers of finished medical devices to provide clear, understandable and reproducible cleaning and sterilization protocols that have been validated to be effective.
With more than 30 years of experience in this field, Eurofins Medical Device Testing network of laboratories offers a broad range of microbiological, bio-/chemical and toxicological testing to examine products for the intended reprocessing procedures according to AAMI ST 12, ISO 17664-1 and ISO 17664-2 to validate procedures for manual and automatic cleaning, disinfection and sterilization.
