Avoid surface changes on medical devices

Module 4: Surface Changes

Target Audience: Employees and Managers from CSSDs, AEMPs, Facility Management, and Infection Control Officers

Seminar Objective:

The main focus of this seminar segment is to prevent daily risks and costs, and ensure patient protection by identifying surface changes, their causes, and integrating suitable preventive measures.

Medical devices undergo numerous external influences throughout their lifecycle, ranging from visually unappealing to unusable.

In practice, only a comprehensive examination and analysis of the sterilization chain allow for the necessary solutions to eliminate destructive influences.

In this Module 4 seminar block, our speaker Ralf Kurzrock will precisely explain the causes of surface changes in medical devices. Together, changes will be identified, and solutions will be developed to enhance patient and user safety.
