In the News: Readying Reprocessed Devices
Writing cleaning instructions for reprocessed medical devices can pose unique challenges during IFU development, but it is critical to get it right the first time. In a recent article for MedTech Intelligence, WuXi AppTec Principal Scientist Dan Fowler dives into developing IFU cleaning instructions for the worst-case scenario. Fowler walks through how to determine the master product for validating product families, identify proper test soils and stay ahead of risks.
While the cleaning validation testing stage is sometimes seen as a box to check on the path to final submission, validating against the worst-case scenario can reveal more value than a manufacturer initially anticipated. Check out “Designing the Worst-Case Test to Get the Best-Case Results” in MedTech Intelligence for advice on understanding the worst-case scenario when writing your next IFU and ensuring a smoother evaluation of your device’s reprocessing method.
