What must be considered while choosing sterilization methods?
A lot of aspects and consideration should be taken into account, when choosing sterilization methods for single-use assemblies.
We start with defining customer expectations and validations. It is imperative to understand the specific requirements and expectations of the customer and ensure that the chosen sterilization method aligns with their needs. We then consider the validation requirements for the components to ensure that they remain functional after sterilization.
Also, it is important, of course, to guarantee compatibility with configurations. We verify that the assembly's configuration is compatible with the chosen sterilization method. For example, certain components like a 2-meter-long tube may not be suitable for autoclaving.
We then check the method-assembly compatibility, where we ensure that the method chosen for sterilization aligns with the design and materials used in the assembly. Each method has its limitations and specific considerations.
Finally, the logistics of sterilization must also be considered. More precisely, the logistics and practical implementation of the chosen sterilization method. We make sure that it can be effectively applied.
At Single Use Support, we take over all these services for our customers from a single source, clarify all validations and compatibilities and create a ready-to-use assembly.
