Hi guys,
This is in relation to sterilization of medical devices. We have some manufacturers who outsource the sterilization process, and therefore provide us with a certificate from an accredited certification institution, which supports that the sterilization company is qualified and adheres to the required sterilization standard. This is great!
However, there are a few larger manufacturers who do in-house/internal sterilization. These guys have a sterilization plant/site within the factory and need not have to outsource the process.
Unfortunately, there isn't a certificate produced following this, making it difficult for us to sell the product when customers require sterilization certificates to validate the sterilization process.
How do I go about resolving this? At present, I am going to provide the customer with the CE cert Annex 5 (Directive 93/42/EEC), and also declarations of conformity from the manufacturer to the required sterilization standards.
Any advice ?
