A half-day seminar focusing on current regulatory expectations in the validation of reusable medical devices is the subject of a seminar that will be held on Dec. 4, 2013Â in Waltham, Mass.
The validation of reusable medical devices is at the forefront of the FDAs efforts to ensure patient safety. Requirements for the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of reusable devices are constantly changing. The situation challenges manufacturers both in terms of deciding which testing methods to employ as well as the planning if end points.

Seminar topics will include:
- Discussion of the FDAs draft guidance for industry and FDA staff, Processing/ Preprocessing Medical Devices in Healthcare Settings
- Methods used for the cleaning and validation of reusable devices
- Methods for the disinfection of reusable devices
- Methods for the sterilization of reusable devices
