About STERIS Device Testing

The STERIS Device Testing team is a dedicated group of degreed Scientists with over 70 years of combined experience that provides validations for Medical Device Manufacturers (MDMs). This service has been made available to device manufacturers since the late 1980s and supports STERIS's low temperature modalities.

Since the inception of the program, STERIS Device Testing has performed numerous studies on thousands of medical devices and works with MDMs to provide a service that benefits our mutual Customers, the healthcare organizations. STERIS Device Testing evaluates reusable medical devices for material compatibility and microbial efficacy within selected STERIS low temperature reprocessing solutions, providing Customers and MDMs with assurance that their medical devices can be safely and repeatedly processed.
