Thermal Disinfection & Steam Sterilization Validation for Reusable Devices

Published Date: April 8, 2021

As part of the three-part webinar series on cleaning, disinfection and sterilization validations of reusable devices, this 50-minute webinar will address the final installment. This time, Jason Pope and Lise Vanderkelen will address some of the key aspects of what is required for thermal disinfection validation studies and steam sterilization validations. These are two different, but important, steps in the processing cycle of reusable devices.

This session should give you a deeper understanding of:

  • Why a validation of the thermal disinfection procedure is crucial to demonstrate the effectiveness of the disinfection.
  • The 3 different steps that you need to include to obtain a successful steam sterilization (sterility assurance level, dry time validation & thermocoupling)
  • The different requirements for EU and US registrations
