Security through validation. Peace of mind for your practice.
Security through validation. Peace of mind for your practice.
Every healthcare professional knows how crucial hygiene and safety are in everyday practice. In dental practices and other medical facilities where instruments are reprocessed, validation is not a marginal bureaucratic issue, but an essential part of responsible and professional patient care. Nevertheless, validation is often perceived as complex, time-consuming or confusing. This is exactly where Normec Valitech comes in.
Normec Valitech is your specialist partner for validation services in the field of medical devices and hygiene procedures. With nationwide coverage, a manufacturer-independent approach and a clear focus on support and relief, we help practices to be legally compliant and reliable – without placing an unnecessary burden on practice operations.
Validation is required by law – and makes sense
As soon as medical instruments are cleaned, disinfected and, if necessary, packaged and sterilised in your practice, there is a legal obligation to validate the reprocessing processes. This obligation applies regardless of whether reprocessing is carried out manually or mechanically and regardless of the size or type of equipment used. The legal basis for this is the Medical Devices Operator Ordinance (MPBetreibV), which requires that reprocessing processes be demonstrably effective and reproducible.
Validation provides precisely this proof. It demonstrates that your processes are not only theoretically correct, but also function safely and consistently in daily practice. Up-to-date validation is a key focus of inspections and checks by regulatory authorities. With professionally conducted validation, you can demonstrate that patient safety is systematically guaranteed in your practice.
A fixed date each year provides clarity
As a rule, validation must be carried out every twelve months. This period is recognised by authorities and professional associations as a reliable and safe review cycle. In certain cases, the deadline can be extended on the basis of a risk assessment. At the same time, there are situations in which unscheduled revalidation is necessary, for example in the case of new equipment, changes in the process flow or a practice relocation.
For most dental practices, this means a fixed validation date each year. Early planning and a reminder service can help to avoid missed deadlines and last-minute appointments. Normec Valitech actively supports you in this and ensures that no appointment is forgotten.
Validation considers the entire reprocessing process
Validation is not limited to the device alone. Rather, the entire reprocessing process is checked – from pre-treatment and loading to documented release and provision for reuse. The aim is to ensure that all components are optimally coordinated and work together reliably.
As part of the validation process, Normec Valitech checks, among other things, the cleaning and disinfection performance, process parameters such as temperature and pressure, and the reproducibility of the results. Routine checks, batch documentation and work instructions are also included in the assessment. This provides a holistic picture of your hygiene chain.
Efficient, practical and with minimal disruption
Validation with Normec Valitech is clearly structured and easy to plan. After a brief consultation in advance, the on-site appointment takes place at your practice. The necessary measurements and test runs are carried out in such a way that practice operations can continue largely without restriction. Our specialists record all relevant measurement data, check your documents and discuss the results in a transparent and understandable manner.
You will then receive a complete validation report that meets regulatory requirements and serves as reliable evidence during inspections. At the same time, you gain valuable insights into the quality and stability of your processes.
Manufacturer-independent and future-proof
Many practices use devices from different manufacturers. This is not a problem in principle, but it does require manufacturer-independent validation. Normec Valitech works completely independently of manufacturers and evaluates all devices objectively. This allows you to remain flexible when making new purchases and avoid dependencies on individual suppliers.
Flexible, transparent and without obligations
As the market leader in manufacturer-independent validation, Normec Valitech provides reliable, transparent support to practices throughout Germany without any contractual obligations. Practices benefit not only from fairly calculated prices, but above all from a service they can rely on at all times: legally compliant, efficient and tailored to the respective practice processes.
Keep costs predictable through intelligent bundling
Validation does not have to be an unmanageable cost item. By bundling several processes into one appointment, the costs per process can be significantly reduced. As part of our partner programme, travel costs are even waived completely for four or more processes. Combined with regular reminders and independent validation, you remain in control both technically and economically.
