The Med-Tech Innovation Expo (hall 2, booth B28) in Birmingham, the SBS Ecoclean Group will provide information on innovative, globally available turnkey solutions for the cleaning and packaging of medical technology products, with which the requirements of the MDR and FDA can be met in a process-safe, stable and efficient manner.
Medical products are manufactured using various technologies such as primary shaping, forming, machining, extrusion, injection molding, and additive manufacturing which leave particulate and film residues on the surface. These contaminations, for example, processing media, release agents, particles, chips, burrs, abrasion, specks of dust, fingerprints, or residual powder, represent a varying degree of potential harm to patients depending on the risk class into which a medical device is classified and must therefore be removed. The new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) has not only resulted in various changes in the classification system but also regarding cleanliness.
In addition to bioburden and cytotoxic values, particulate and film contamination from the manufacturing processes are now also considered. When it comes to processing validation and qualification, component identification, and traceability, the requirements have also increased.
At the Med-Tech Innovation Expo, held 28 – 29 September 2021 at NEC in Birmingham, the SBS Ecoclean Group will provide information in hall 2, booth B28 about its c range of qualified cleaning systems for pre-cleaning, intermediate cleaning, final cleaning, and ultra-fine cleaning in medical technology. Software solutions specially developed for medical technology applications and RFID technologies, Audit-Trail and CFR 21 ensure that all process parameters are adhered to and seamless automatic production data acquisition and traceability are guaranteed. This portfolio is rounded off by cleanroom and packaging solutions that include already validated packaging materials for implants and instruments.
