Sterilisation with steam– 29-Aug-2012
Steam sterilisation is still a popular choice for the medical device industry because it is very effective and relatively cheap and quick. To maintain sterility, the devices require packaging that acts as a sterile barrier after the sterilisation process. This means that the cycle has to be suitable, not only for the devices, but also for the associated packaging. Cycle development starts in the design phase with the choice of the materials of construction and packaging.
Isolator decontamination with nitrogen dioxide– 29-Aug-2012
The majority of isolators are decontaminated using hydrogen peroxide vapour technologies, but limitations in process control, aeration efficiency, and product compatibility have led to research into new decontamination methods. DNA in mammalian cells is degraded via single-strand breaks upon exposure to nitrogen dioxide, which is now being developed as a sterilant.
In-line sterilisation with pulsed light– 1-Aug-2012
The effectiveness of pulsed light in killing micro-organisms is well know, but until now there was no suitable testing environment that was sustainable and met industry standards. Claranor has developed a pulsed light sterilisation treatment that is reproducible and traceable. Each product receives exactly the same amount of energy, and the procedure is monitored and can be checked at any time
The pre-sterilisation paradox– 26-Mar-2012
Apart from the legal need to comply with the regulatory requirements governing sterile manufacturing of medical devices, manufacturers need to appreciate the inactivation kinetics of sterilisation technologies. They must also understand the types of viable and non-viable contamination and their effects on the human body. Manufacturers are advised to determine their cleanliness requirements as a result of a formal risk analysis exercise. A review and assessment of control plans with microbiologist support is strongly encouraged.
Harnessing UVC light– 23-Jan-2012
Ultraviolet light offers an energy- and cost-efficient method of decontaminating medical and electronic devices. When targeted micro-organisms are directly exposed to UVC light, the radiation penetrates the cell walls. UVC exposure in the Nanoclave Cabinet occurs at room temperature and pressure and doesn’t involve moisture or immersion.
