Molecular structures involved in EO sterilization

Validation & Process


Before medical devices can be routinely sterilized, it must be ensured that the sterilization process used achieves the required sterility under defined conditions. Validation is a key component of quality assurance and a prerequisite for successful sterilization.


Quality Assurance

Validation at HA2

The objective of validation is to establish, through verification, a sterilization process that ensures reliable and reproducible sterilization results in every cycle under consistent operating conditions. As part of the validation process, the process parameters are determined and established in such a way that they enable the safe sterilization of the respective medical device.

FAQ

Answers on Validation and Processes

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about our validation processes and system technology.

Why is validation required before routine sterilization?

Before products can be routinely sterilized, it must be ensured that the process used reliably achieves the required sterility under defined conditions. Validation serves to establish and verify the necessary process parameters. It is thus a central component of quality assurance and the foundation for reproducible sterilization success.

How does modern plant technology support our process reliability?

Reliable sterilization requires high-performance, precisely controlled equipment. At HA2, all relevant process parameters are automatically controlled and continuously monitored. In addition, state-of-the-art measurement and documentation systems ensure transparent, traceable, and reproducible process control.

What technical capabilities does HA2 offer to meet different product requirements?

HA2 is equipped with modern sterilization chambers of various sizes, with capacities ranging from 4 to 20 pallets. This allows for flexible processing of both smaller batches and high-volume throughput. This technical infrastructure is complemented by specialized environmental and safety technology that supports controlled gas flow, minimized emissions, and high safety standards.
