Validation of the reprocessing of medical devices
| Description: | Reprocessing of reusable medical devices means in particular cleaning, disinfection, functional testing, packaging, sterilization and storage. The effectiveness of the manufacturer's reprocessing instructions is tested in a worst-case scenario using the TOC/TN test to quantify residual proteins. If necessary, the appropriate number of reprocessing cycles over the lifetime of a medical device can be determined. |
