Classifications for reprocessing

Classification of medical devices
Medical devices and their components are classified
according to the way they are used and the resulting
risk.
Classification Explanation
Non-critical Components that come only into
contact with skin that is intact
Semi-critical Components that carry breathing
(A, B) gas or come into contact with
mucous membranes or
pathologically altered skin
Critical (A, B, Components that penetrate skin
C) or mucous membranes or come
into contact with blood
Classification DigiFlow
The following classification is a recommendation
from Dräger.
Non-critical

Validated reprocessing procedures
At the time of product-specific validation, the
following reprocessing procedures showed good
material compatibility and effectiveness:
Procedure Surface disinfection with
cleaning
Agent Dismozon pur
Manufacturer Bode Chemie
Concentration 1.5 %
Contact time
The effectiveness of the listed reprocessing
procedures has been validated by independent
laboratories that are certified to the standard
ISO 17025.

Disinfectants
