Validating Single-Use Products for Industrial VHP Sterilization: A Practical Step-by-Step Guide
Sterilization of single-use products requires careful planning, testing, verification and clear documentation to ensure the product application and equipment work together as intended. This process must align with recognized industry expectations, so following a defined pathway from feasibility testing through product validation can help streamline your path to market.
Join this complimentary webinar where you will learn how STERIS supports facilities implementing a VHP™ LTS-V Low Temperature Sterilizer, including the process used to assess product feasibility and help develop a validated product application. Explore each stage in detail to understand what is required from you and how industry standards shape these steps. Gain a practical, step-by-step look at the STERIS recommended process and how it helps streamline the preparation of your products for VHP sterilization.
