Method Development for Decontamination and Sterile Processing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

0 h 55 min

Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, there has been a significant emphasis on rapidly bringing critical products to the healthcare market. This webinar will share collective learnings on novel approaches required for the decontamination and sterile processing of items such as personal protective equipment (PPE). Manufacturers, regulators, and end-users have been challenged to develop new processing methods in an accelerated timeframe. This urgency has necessitated innovative strategies and adaptations to traditional sterilization protocols.

The webinar will explore how the pandemic has driven the need for swift development and implementation of decontamination methods. It will highlight the critical balance between speed and thoroughness, emphasizing that while accelerated or abbreviated test methods may be necessary, a holistic view must be maintained to ensure all critical parameters are adequately tested. This ensures that new methods are not only rapid but also effective and safe.

Viewers will learn about the various novel decontamination and sterile processing techniques that have been developed and adopted during the pandemic. The session will cover the collaborative efforts between manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and healthcare providers to meet the urgent demand for safe and effective PPE and other critical medical supplies. Additionally, the webinar will address the importance of comprehensive validation and testing, even under accelerated conditions, to guarantee the efficacy and safety of decontaminated products.

By the end of this webinar, attendees will have a deeper understanding of the innovative approaches to decontamination and sterile processing that have emerged during the COVID-19 crisis. They will gain insights into the challenges and solutions involved in developing these methods, ensuring they can apply these learnings to future scenarios that demand rapid yet reliable sterilization processes. This session is essential for manufacturers, regulatory professionals, and healthcare providers involved in the sterilization and decontamination of medical products, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate similar challenges in the future.
