Understanding Industrial Contaminations:

Industrial processes often lead to various forms of contaminants that can negatively impact product quality, performance, and safety. Some common types of contaminations include:

  • Slightly Adhesive Contaminations: Oil, Emulsion, Particles, Chips, Dust
  • Medium / Strongly Adhesive Contaminations: Fats, Metal Soaps, Graphite, Metal Abrasion, Polishing Paste, Lapping Compounds
  • Coatings: Reactive Lubricants, Phosphate / Chromate / Zinc Coatings, Corrosion Layers

Parts cleaning in the medical device industry:

The medical devices that are considered “critical,” such as implants, prostheses, surgical instruments, syringes, and components for large devices like MRI, X-ray, and CT scans, require an extremely high level of cleanliness in terms of particulates and thin films. The manufacturers often encounter several challenges when cleaning these parts,

  • Consistent removal of contaminations resulting from the manufacturing processes even from capillaries, complex geometries, and porous surfaces
  • Removal and recovery of powder residues from additive manufacturing (SLM)
  • Elimination of cross-contamination along the entire production chain
  • Regulatory compliance with strictest norms of MedTech Industry

And many more…

Production of medical devices involves various processes such as machining, grinding, milling, cutting and other abrasive processes. The manufacturing process of the medical parts must ensure contamination-free surfaces as infection prevention and control is critical to the health of patients. The parts/ implants that goes inside human body, are categorized as “critical” and clearly need to meet the highest cleanliness standards.

Technical cleanliness & surface quality

Medical products such as implants, instruments, cannulas and endoscopes, place specific demands on cleaning processes and packaging. These include,

  • free from particles
  • filmic contamination
  • cytotoxic values
  • bioburden values

 Cleanliness Requirements and Compliance with EU/MDR Regulations:

In addition to meeting industry-specific cleanliness standards, businesses must comply with stringent regulations set forth by the European Union, such as the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). These regulations aim to ensure the safety and performance of medical devices and demand meticulous cleanliness throughout the manufacturing process.

To adhere to EU/MDR regulations and meet cleanliness requirements, firms must implement advanced industrial cleaning technologies and procedures that effectively remove contaminants while minimising environmental impact and ensuring worker safety.
