Seminar: Sterilization and cleaning for sustainable medical devices

Topics

This seminar will explore critical advancements and challenges in the medical device industry. The special focus will be on sustainability, safety and compliance. Participants will explore the growing emphasis on circular design, examining how medical devices can be developed to reduce environmental impact without compromising safety. Key topics will include innovative strategies for incorporating sustainable materials, such as bioplastics and establishing effective recycling processes within a highly regulated sector.

Another core theme of the seminar is the evolving landscape of biosafety and sterilization standards. Attendees will gain an understanding of the latest international regulations and best practices for ensuring the safety of medical devices, particularly in relation to cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization protocols. These discussions will emphasize the importance of maintaining compliance with stringent safety regulations, while also aligning with broader sustainability goals, such as reducing CO2 emissions in healthcare processes.

In addition to these in-depth presentations, the seminar will include a hands-on lab tour, offering participants the opportunity to explore advanced techniques in materials characterization, hygienic design, and chemical analysis. The event will also provide ample opportunities for networking, fostering connections between professionals committed to advancing sustainability and safety within the medical device industry.

After the seminar the participant will:

• Get insight on the latest updates from the international ISO technical committee – ISO TC194 in terms of sterilizing and cleaning medical devices
• Be inspired by examples from the industry about working with circularity for medical devices and stringent safety requirements
• Understand advantages and limitations of cleaning and disinfection validation methods, and sustainable alternatives to conventional processes
• Learn more about analytical techniques for material and chemical investigation for medical devices in the laboratories

Target audience

The seminar is aimed for specialists and engineers working on development, innovation and manufacture within the medical devices and medical technology industry. The seminar will cover specifically topics related to cleanability and sterilizability, regulatory aspects and considerations about sustainability and safety requirement herein.
