Request for Information: Materials and Assemblies Compatibility Testing Services
Introduction
The Healthcare Surfaces Institute (HSI), a division of ISSA, is requesting information from testing laboratories for compatibility and validation testing services of manufactured medical devices that are intended to be reprocessed using standard disinfectants and are found in the medical environment.
HSI is also interested in the facility’s willingness to act as an advisor in the development of the Standard for validation of the testing methods and certification of the results.
Purpose
The purpose of this RFI is to gather information from each responding laboratory that may meet the goods, services and operational needs outlined below.
HSI is taking action to define how surfaces are designed, manufactured, installed, and maintained to significantly reduce the spread of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). Compatibility with healthcare cleaning and disinfecting agents holds the key to preventing continued transmission of microorganisms and the causation of HAIs on one or more surfaces used in healthcare product design, fabrication, and market readiness
