Sterility testing is an important means of determining the sterility of medical devices, focusing on the presence or absence of live microorganisms. As a core element and important evaluation index of medical device quality, it determines the reliability and safety of medical devices in clinical applications. Manufacturers are often required to provide sterility test reports during the marketing process of medical devices.

Our Service

AltaNovate offers comprehensive sterility testing services for diverse medical devices following the ISO 11737 standard, involving sterility checks, microbial enumeration, and sterilization validation. Every step is strictly executed per the standard norms, guaranteeing the precision and credibility of test outcomes.

Testing Item Standard Testing Purpose
Sterility Check ISO 11737 - 2 To check if a medical device is sterile for safe clinical use
Bioburden Testing ISO 11737 - 1 To know the initial microbial load for production process control
Sterilization Validation ISO 11737 - 3 To verify sterilization process can reach the required sterility level

Sterility Check: Sterility check, by specific methods, detect viable microorganisms in sterilized medical devices. It's the final step for product release. Based on ISO 11737 - 2, it ensures device safety and averts patient infections and adverse events.

Bioburden Testing: Bioburden refers to the microorganisms present on a product, raw material, or surface. It is of significant importance in the quality control of medical devices. The bioburden testing, which adheres to the ISO 11737 - 1 standard, is carried out to identify the populations of viable microorganisms on a product before sterilization.

Sterilization Validation: Sterilization validation is key to ensuring the effectiveness and consistency of medical device sterilization. Authorities like the FDA, China, and the EU have set related requirements. Based on ISO 11737 - 3, it uses physical, chemical, and bio-indicator tests to assess the sterilization process and reach the necessary sterility assurance level.
