Detergent Residue Test in Cleaning Validation of Medical Products
The most important condition in medical products is cleanliness and hygiene. No factor that will affect human health can be tolerated in any sector, especially in the medical product sector. It should be checked whether the cleaning processes performed on metal medical products such as implants are appropriate and sufficient, as well as whether the detergents used leave residues.Washing and rinsing processes should also be sufficient so that the detergents used in the cleaning of medical products do not leave any residue. Medical products to be used on the human body should not contain detergent residues and should be checked with the "Detergent Residue Test" after cleaning.
Detergent residue testing should be performed in an accredited laboratory with an expert team. The method used is also important in terms of the validity and acceptability of the detergent residue test.
