News on Reprocessing Validations for Reusable Medical Devices

Great strides have been made in guidance and updates for cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and overall reprocessing validations for reusable medical devices, thanks to AAMI ST98:2022, AAMI TIR12:2020, and ISO 15883-5:2021. However, it can be difficult to navigate these updates and ensure your reusable devices have the proper reprocessing validation. Additionally, there are still gaps in guidance that have led to “gray areas” of reprocessing. In this webinar, you’ll learn where they are and what issues need addressing to ensure the safety of the devices associated with these situations. These issues will be covered as part of this presentation on the latest changes in AAMI ST98:2022 and AAMI TIR12:2020 for cleaning and disinfection validations.
