Autoclave Performance Qualification
Purus Health carries out Autoclave Performance Qualification, regardless of the make and model of your machine we are able to provide you with the certainty of an evidence based technical report that confirms your machine is working within the relevant Australian Standard so you can be sure that you are meeting your obligations around infection control.
Australian standards AS 5369:2023
The process of confirming the autoclave is operating within the designated parameters is called the Performance Qualification. The Performance Qualification process is detailed in AS 5369:2023
Performance qualification is defined in the Standard as the Process of obtaining and documenting evidence that the equipment, is installed and operated in accordance with operational procedures, consistently performs in accordance with pre-determined criteria, and thereby yields a product meeting its specification. The Performance Qualification will be conducted over three cycles.
Parameters tested during each cycle of a Performance Qualification on Autoclaves (Class B) include steam, pressure and time to ensure the sterilisation process is successful.
Frequency of Testing is detailed in the Standard and states that all benchtop autoclaves are tested at the completion of the commissioning - IQ, annually - PQ
The Test Report is evidence that the tests conducted met the Standard and provide all the relevant supporting data.
Performance Qualification includes the following:
- Authorised technician to complete three cycles measuring all parameters in each cycle.
- Use of Data Loggers (this provides the measurement parameters of the cycle) and Biological Indicators (B/I results provided in report) in all three cycles.
- Identify the Measuring Equipment used by the supplier which shows annual testing to a National Standard.
Our price for the Performance Qualification includes gst, labour charges, call out fees along with the necessary reports, certificates and tags, chemical indicators, biological indicators. So when we quote you the price it is the price you will pay. Once you are on our register of machines you can " set and forget" as we will remind you when your next performance qualification is due so you never find yourself with an expired machine.
