Blood Glucose Monitoring System & Medical Devices: Cleaning & Disinfection Procedure Validation

Bioscience Laboratories Inc. conducts the FDA-required validation of cleaning and disinfection procedures based upon AAMI TIR12:2010 “Designing, testing, and labeling reusable medical devices for reprocessing in health care facilities: A guide for medical device manufacturers”. Each evaluation will include the following FDA requirements:

• Selection of an EPA-approved registered cleaning and disinfection product that does not result in the physical deterioration of the device overall, or deterioration of any device component, such as the housing or touchpad buttons.
• Demonstration using the standard ASTM E1053 and ASTM E2362 tests that the disinfection protocol is effective against Hepatitis B virus and other blood-borne viruses.
• Demonstration that the Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (BGMS) is robust to cleaning and disinfection procedures after multiple cleaning and disinfection cycles.
• Description of how the cleaning and disinfection procedures affect the port of the meter.
• Confirmation that the disinfectant does not cloud the face/display of the meter and does not corrode or erode the plastic housing or buttons.
• GLP Protocol with acceptance criteria.
