New Guide for Establishing cleanliness limits for single use medical devices

1. Scope

This standard will provide guidance to medical device manufacturers for establishing acceptance limits for residual manufacturing residues on single use medical devices. It is not intended to establish limits on reprocessed medical devices.

Keywords

cleanliness; validation; medical device; single use

Rationale

This work item came out of the discussion from the May 2023 workshop on establishing limits in medical device cleanliness assessment, where it was a recognized gap in our standards. It will be used by medical device manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory agencies.

The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
