Module looks at cleaning disnfection and sterilisation.
Cleaning theory and practice
the role of the solvent, the surfactant and other parameters. Mechanical solvent based cleaning using aqueous and non aqueous solvents, ultra sonic cleaning, cold plasma cleaning. Occupational and environmental safety requirements.
Disinfection theory and practice
Chemical disinfection methods and technologies for high medium amd low level disinfection. Physical disinfection methodsand technologies involving non ionising and ionizing radiation and thermal methods of disinfection, Occupational and environmental safety requirements.
Sterilisation theory and practice
Chemical sterilisation methods and technologies using vapourised hydrogen peroxide, ethylene oxide and aldehyde based didinfection. Physical sterilisation technologies using moist and dry heat, ionising radiation and hot and cold plasma. Occupational and environmental safety requirements
Control and validation of cleaning
Parameters to control in automated cleaning, monitoring of cleaning processes, detection of residues and valuidatioon of controlled cleaning processes.
Control and validation of disinfection
Parameters to control in automated disinfection processes, monitoring and disinfection and disinfectant effectiveness, validation of controlled didinfection processes
Control and validation of sterilisation
Parameters to control in automated sterilisation processes monitoring of sterilisation and sterilisation effectiveness, validation of sterilisation processes
Confirmatory testing of RIMDs
Endotoxin residue testing, bioburden testing and sterility testing for product release
Documentation requirements for controlled bio-decontamination
cleaning disinfection and sterilisation recording validation documentation, SOP design and control, deviation reporting in the event of failure. Regulatory audit requirements of cleaning disinfection and sterilisation processes
