Question

b) Why are medical devices manufactured in a cleanroom if they must undergo sterilization anyway? (1 mark) c) Explain how radiation sterilization works, starting with the radioactive source (normally cobalt-60). (3 marks) d) Radiation sterilization can affect materials in different ways. What types of materials are most and least affected by radiation sterilization? (3 marks) e) What approach should be used for the validation of custom-built equipment? Explain this approach by naming and explaining the documentation used to record each step. (8 pieces of work should be explained - User Requirement Specification being one.) (16 marks)

Step 1

This helps to minimize the risk of contamination during the manufacturing process. Even though the devices undergo sterilization afterwards, manufacturing them in a cleanroom reduces the initial microbial load and ensures a higher level of cleanliness before  Show more…
