[Link in bio] Andersen Sterilizers & Andersen Scientific are the 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗲 in the FDA’s 510(k) Ethylene Oxide Sterility Change Master File Pilot Program. Now a medical device manufacturer considering a switch from a traditional sterilization method to Andersen’s ultra-efficient process, has this potential regulatory hurdle cleared for them. Whether they chose an in-house Andersen sterilizer or our commercial sterilization facility, they will not need to re-submit a 510(k) for their device. . . . #AndersenSterilizers #EOGas4 #EOGas3 #FDA510k #MedicalDeviceDesign #MedicalDeviceSterilization #MedicalDevice #SterileProcessing #GasSterilization #Sterilization #sterility #sterilizers #ethyleneoxide #EOsterilization
EO sterilization is complex and expensive, and few contract manufacturers have in-house capabilities. Due to COVID-19 delays, larger sterilization providers have significant backlogs, resulting in long lead times of a year or more for validations. This timeline is often unfeasible for organizations looking to bring their innovations to market and scale up operations. To streamline the process and ensure optimal outcomes, here are four best practices for medical device manufacturers considering EO sterilization solutions.

Pus. Blood. Dirt. Foreign particles. All these and more may be left behind on a medical device after medical procedures are complete. Thankfully reusable medical devices go through a robust cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization process before being returned to circulation and use for the next patient. This prevents cross-contamination and microbial contamination. If your company makes reusable medical devices, do you know what should you look for in a decontamination and sterilization process?
