Frequently Asked Questions

We help manufacturers determine how many times their reusable instruments can be cleaned and sterilized before they are no longer usable. We can also help you expeditiously precondition your device to the end of its useful life for subsequent validation testing. SteriLogix can provide the robust science you need to verify the useful life of your device without overburdening your development process.

Most of our clients are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of reusable medical devices. These companies and clients require their products to be cleaned, disinfected, and steam sterilized multiple times according to specific instructions.
