One of the many advancements in the medical device industry has been the advent of reusable robotic devices for surgical procedures, which has allowed many surgical procedures to be less invasive than they were previously. As these reusable robotic devices are classified as critical devices under the Spaulding Classification, they need to be effectively cleaned and sterilized between uses. While there are many benefits to reusable robotic devices, they are complex devices and present many challenges to the cleaning and sterilization processes. This discussion will review how to validate the reprocessing procedures for reusable robotic devices and the challenges that may arise during these validations.
Key Learning Points:
- Challenges in reprocessing robotic devices
- Effective cleaning and sterilization of robotic devices
