Validation: A call for clarity

Decontamination and sterilisation are vital to the safe and efficient running of every dental practice. But even the best decontamination procedures need putting to the test and that requires validation. Without it, you could be putting your staff and patients at risk – as well as breaking the law.

Cross contamination control has always been important, but never more so than during a global health pandemic when maintaining stringent infection control processes could literally be a matter of life or death.

Validation provides a guarantee that your decontamination equipment is working to the manufacturers’ specifications, that it complies with all relevant regulations and that your processes for cleaning and maintaining instruments are reliable and effective.
