Reprocessing Reusable Medical Devices - Cleaning & Labeling Requirements - validations

However, there are also FDA requirements for reprocessing reusable medical devices. Most class II medical devices & even a few class I medical devices require 510(k) clearances before marketing them. When manufacturers submit 510(k)’s, they typically follow FDA guidance documents written for specific types of devices. Similar requirements can be found in European Union CE marking requirements. Hospitals & clinics have been steadily increasing their demands for detailed, written directions for processing reusable medical devices, regardless of the classification. This presentation will discuss these requirements.

Areas Covered in the seminar:

• Regulatory requirements
• European Union requirements
• Guidance documents
