In a Medical Device cleaning process, preventing bacterial growth, especially in demineralised water rinses, can be a challenge. Water flows through sections that are difficult to access, such as bends, pipes, and pumps, where the presence of microorganisms is difficult to measure and control. Without proper water treatment, biofilm can develop and proliferate all the way to the rinse tanks. To prevent this, appropriate pre-treatment of the water is essential, even if the water is heated to 70°C and constantly circulated. An excellent example showcasing this configuration involves a manufacturer specialising in medical implants and instruments. They have effectively incorporated a pre-treatment solution for the final rinse of medical devices before their introduction into the cleanroom.
