Validation companies

We see ourselves as your reliable partner and laboratory service provider when it comes to the provision of test specimens and laboratory tests relating to validation and requalification. You can conveniently place your order and retrieve analysis data via our online tool. In our product range, you will find pre-assembled sets that simplify the ordering process and provide you with the right test specimens for your specific needs.

For manual cleaning processes

We provide you with pre-assembled sets for determining residual protein and thus for determining the cleaning performance of manual reprocessing processes. These are available specifically for reprocessing procedures in the medical disciplines of dentistry, ENT, urology and gynecology.

For automated cleaning processes

For the determination of residual protein in the course of the validation of automated processes with thermal disinfection, various sets are available for washer-disinfectors, combination devices and washer-disinfectors for container, trolleys and/or hospital beds. These sets contain a specific number of Crile clamps, SDS solution, dental test specimens (separately for internal and external cleaning) or test specimens for container and trolley washers for the respective application. The sets also include informative explanations, sample information sheet and transportation equipment.

For automated cleaning processes of Da Vinci instruments

We offer testing of clinically used and reprocessed Da Vinci instruments for validation, re-qualification and routine control. SMP acts as a test laboratory recognized by Intuitive Surgical and has more than 20 years of experience in handling instruments used in robot-assisted surgery.

For automated chemo-thermal processes

Various test specimen sets are provided and evaluated to test the cleaning and disinfection performance of chemo-thermal processes. These include protein and Enterococcus faecium test tubes for washer-disinfectors for endoscopes, test kits for flexible endoscopes and the analysis of feeding and final rinse water. This service area is rounded off with fully prefabricated sets including Enterococcus faecium suspension in accordance with the current specifications of the AK-BWA (working group bed frame and trolley decontamination systems).

For steam sterilization processes

For the validation of steam sterilization processes in accordance with EN 285 and as a routine control, customer-specific test specimens are provided and evaluated, which are specifically contaminated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus. These are used for targeted verification of sterilization and meet the latest requirements in accordance with DIN EN ISO 17665-1 under realistic conditions.

For packaging processes

For quality assurance of packaging processes in the reprocessing of medical devices, the seal seam tensile strength is tested in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11607-1 and -2. Performing the seal seam tensile strength tests enables a standard-compliant assessment of the mechanical strength of seal seams and serves as proof of the reproducibility and safety of the packaging process as part of validation and renewed performance qualification.

For storage processes

Standardized hygiene kits are provided and evaluated for the microbiological testing of drying cabinets for flexible endoscopes. Sampling is carried out in accordance with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 16224 and includes both surface and air quality testing.

Supplementary offers

On request, we can offer you the identification of microorganisms found using MALDI-TOF, support you with training measures and provide you with sampling equipment and shipping documents.
