Important results from the project

All original objectives of the project were met, including validated cleaning process and method protocol, completed performance and biocompatibility tests, and documentation ready for inclusion in the technical file for the MDR proposal. The project also contributed to increased regulatory and technical knowledge about circular flows for single-use medical devices.

Expected long term effects

The knowledge and processes developed within the project are expected to be applicable to other similar product categories and thus enable broader implementation. The project is thus expected to contribute to long-term reduced climate footprints, increased preparedness in healthcare and reduced healthcare costs through circular flows for medical devices.
