Detergent Residue Test in Cleaning Validation of Medical Products

The detergent is used to clean metallic materials used in the medical field. As part of cleaning validation, there should be no detergent residue as a result of processes carried out to remove residues such as oil that may be on medical devices.

Metal medical products, especially products such as implants, should be tested and analyzed for detergent residue. With the Detergent Residues Test, the efficiency and adequacy of the washing process performed on medical products are also verified.

The Detergent Residue Test is performed to get an idea about the cleaning process after production and to determine the total amount of residue, if any. Analysis is performed with GC and GC-MS devices to detect residues of cleaning materials such as detergents.

Various cleaning materials are used to clean reusable medical devices and residues may remain. With the Detergent Residue Test, determine if there is residue and evaluate the cleaning validation performance, ensuring the safe use of medical products.
