PEREG

In 1997 we asked ourselves: How can one neglect the most important step when reprocessing surgical instruments? If it's not clean, it can't be sterile was a common phrase but there was not much standardisation, quality assurance, or enough science behind cleaning processes... Now PEREG GmbH is the leading company for cleaning monitoring when reprocessing surgical instruments. This was achieved by believing in the importance of cleaning and knowing the science behind it. In cleaning we do not use standardised parameters as in sterilisation, therefore monitoring a cleaning process needs to be achieved in a different way: Tests for cleaning efficacy must be adapted to the practical situation... A test soil correlating to blood is one important step but blood behaves differently in various cases such as being cleaned from an ordinary steel surface compared to cleaning the inside of an instrument. Also blood residues after an inefficient cleaning process do not have much in common anymore..
