APIC & FDA Webinar: Regulatory Science Tools for Reprocessing of Medical Devices
Thursday, February 9, 2023 @ 1 pm ET
Dr. Katharine Segars and Dr. Jon Weeks
The current antimicrobial technologies available may be less effective due to multi-drug resistant bacteria and the propensity of biofilm formation on medical devices, making infections more difficult to prevent, detect, and treat. To assist stakeholders in evaluating safety and effectiveness of technologies to reduce health care related infections, our focus will be on standardizing methodologies to evaluate reprocessing instructions for medical devices including cleaning, drying, and reduction of biofilms.
