This work is carried out as proof of successful sterilization of products that are placed on the market as sterile or placed on the market as non-sterile and sterilized before use.
We are performing a steam sterilization validation study with the following steps,
- Preparing the validation protocol,
- Determining the product bioburden before starting work,
- Performing the sterilization process with the same parameters in 3 different cycles to prove repeatability,
- Analysis of the sterility of biological indicators placed in the cabinet and in the product during the cycles,
- After the cycles, sterility analysis of the products representing the difficult condition,
- Preperation of the validation report describing the whole process with the results.
