EICHY
European Interdisciplinary Committee for Hygiene & Compatibility Testing of Medical Devices Health and Social Services facilities need premium devices/medical devices.
Manufacturers continuously develop new and application friendly devices for which various materials can be used. It follows, that the correct hygienical processing is more complex than it was ever before. Next to choosing the right disinfectant that is gentle to the material, the preservation of function and value of the device/medical device must be considered.
An improper processing quickly leads to damaged material just as abrasive and brittle areas, stress and material fractures, discolorations etc. This can impair the reliability of the medical device, frequently resulting in high costs for repair.
Additionally, discussions about responsibility, warranty, and indemnity payments arise.
