Sterilization validation

Sterilization validation is the process of confirming that a sterilization method effectively kills all microorganisms on a product or equipment, ensuring safety and compliance. It involves carefully testing and documenting the sterilization procedure to demonstrate consistent performance. This includes verifying parameters like temperature, pressure, chemicals, or radiation levels are maintained at effective levels. Validation provides confidence that the sterilization process reliably removes or destroys harmful microbes, reducing infection risk and meeting regulatory standards. Essentially, it's proof that sterilization procedures work as intended, safeguarding public health and product integrity.
