AND VALIDATION

The sterilizer user is responsible for correct choice of sterilization


programs depending on the kind and quantity of the sterilized
objects/medical devices. According to EU Directive no. 93/42/
EEC, the manufacturer of a medical device for repeated use is
obliged to provide the device with information relating suitable
cleansing, disinfection and sterilization procedures and a limited
number of repeated uses, if any. Repeated sterilization of
a specific load (its kind, quantity, packing and storing in the
sterilizer chamber) to a required sterility level by a specific
sterilizer program can only be verified by the sterilization
procedure validation according to EN ISO 17665-1.
