Cleaning validation services are used to validate manufacturer’s IFU (instructions for use). This includes soiling, cleaning, and post-processing effectiveness testing. A successful validation is required to assure a device can be properly cleaned after clinical use. Methodology involves soiling the medical device with an appropriate test soil and cleaning the device according to the manufacturer’s IFU. The total surface area of medical devices required for end-point calculations. Visual inspection of medical devices is performed and exhaustive recovery of residual soil components. Residual analysis can include protein contamination or total organic carbon contamination (TOC) or endotoxin to quantitatively determine.
