The initial validation
that gets your thermal disinfector ready for use.
The standard-compliant initial validation of your washer-disinfector (WD) at commissioning — carried out by certified Steri24 technicians directly at your practice. You receive the documented baseline record that makes your reprocessing audit-proof from day one.
We validate thermal disinfectors from all manufacturers.
No matter which manufacturer your device comes from — our certified technicians validate it professionally. You need no second point of contact for your WD.
Your model is not listed? No problem — on request we also service devices from other manufacturers. Please enter the model of your thermal disinfector in the comment field of your order.
Why validation is mandatory in Switzerland
Requirements in Switzerland
- SN EN ISO 15883: normative basis for WD processes.
- Swissmedic & SGSV guideline: validation and routine monitoring of reprocessing.
- Operator obligation for annual revalidation of the reprocessing processes.
- Documented release of every validated batch.
Technically sound: Thermal disinfection typically takes place at 90–95 °C. For the safe reprocessing of surgical instruments, an A₀ value of 3000 (equivalent to 90 °C for 5 minutes) is the benchmark.
What our validation delivers
Three qualification stages to EN ISO 15883 — fully documented and audit-proof.
Installation Qualification (IQ)
Inspection of installation, water, power and waste-water connections as well as correct dosing technology.
Operational Qualification (OQ)
Verification of temperature curves, holding times and sensor technology with calibrated reference probes.
Performance Qualification (PQ)
Evidence of cleaning and disinfection performance with realistic load patterns and soiling control (A₀ value).
Validation report & label
Complete, standard-compliant documentation to present during inspections — plus a test label on the device.
