Our Validation Capabilities
Autoclaves
We create protocols for validating autoclave cycles and conduct practical testing under “worst-case scenario” conditions. Our expert-led on-site testing evaluates the effective sterilization of waste before its removal from the facility. Subsequently, we compile the data and submit a comprehensive validation report.
Decontamination Chambers
We create protocols and conduct on-site testing using biological indicators. We verify the efficacy of fumigation treatments like chlorine dioxide or vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) employed in decontamination chambers. The conclusive step involves the preparation and submission of the final validation report, outlining the process and documenting the results obtained.
Effluent Decontamination Systems
We validate that the Effluent Decontamination System (EDS) is adequately sterilizing waste prior to removal from the facility. Our experts create custom protocols for site-specific validation, conducting on-site assessments and reviewing the results of the biological indicators. We then compile and submit the comprehensive validation report, detailing the process and documenting the recorded results.
Tissue Digesters
We verify that your digester technology is sterilizing infectious waste tissue including prions. Our subject matter experts will develop the testing protocols and validate the tissue digester onsite. We then prepare and submit the final validation report, describing the process and recorded results.
Why Should I Validate My Lab Waste Equipment?
Potential exposure to biological materials needs to be mitigated from start to finish, and contaminated waste from your laboratory must be treated prior to its removal. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), 6th Edition notes that an appropriate decontamination program should be developed and implemented with the decontamination processes being verified on a routine basis. Additionally, section 12(a)(3) of the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) regulations describes the need for a written procedure for all validated methods used for disinfection, decontamination, or destruction of contaminated or presumptively contaminated materials.
Our documented hazardous waste management protocols are site-specific for your facility, and we conduct a site visit to independently determine that the equipment complies with specific standards and lab safety rules for quality and performance. All results for biohazard and chemical waste disposal equipment validation are documented in a detailed report.
Our seamless validation takes away the guesswork to perform proper testing.
If your goal is insightful and high-quality validation protocols and testing the effectiveness of your lab waste equipment, we offer unique benefits you won’t find elsewhere.
