The Committee for Hygiene, Construction and Technology has compiled a new recommendation on environmental conditions and their control in Reprocessing Units for Medical Devices. The aim of this publication is to present information on the state of the art and experience with respect to hospital hygiene, microbiology and audits. This information lays the groundwork for the formulation of requirements for the environmental conditions and their control and for bringing the current publication into line with the state of the art.
In an efficient quality management system processes must be monitored. The process monitoring measures must be planned and the outcomes documented. In that way discrepancies can be recognized at an early stage and remedial action taken.
Often, there is a need for external persons to work in the Reprocessing Unit for Medical Devices (RUMED); such tasks include technical activities, training, inspections, audits and reference visits.
With this recommendation the Quality Task Group aims to create awareness of the role of “external persons” with regard to occupational health and safety and hygiene.
