By validating their processes, companies establish that their products are in conformity with the applicable requirements. To this end, all process parameters need to be verified and observed. T\u00dcV S\u00dcD differentiates between two stages of validation, a conceptual and a hands-on stage. \u201cRisk assessment is a central step of the conceptual stage\u201c, explained Simon Schlagintweit. \u201cIt helps companies to avoid process failures and failure or contamination of components.\u201d By mapping the process, this step identifies, evaluates, and mitigates risks, relying on well-established tools such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), Ishikawa diagrams (also known as fishbone diagrams), and fault-tree analyses. The hands-on stage covers the requirements related to installation qualification (IQ), operational qualification (OQ), and performance qualification (PQ).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.facfox.com\/imgs\/2021\/10\/1f6d3f3308fba81b.png\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a; padding: 15px 30px; align-items: center; border-radius: 4px; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding-right: 30px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px;\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div>Realize your creation with full capabilities, expand your business from prototyping to mass production.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #0baee8; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 4px;\" href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa-fw auxicon auxicon-cloud-upload\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Get Quote<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The validation process assesses the entire workflow in accordance with ISO\/ASTM 52920, the international standard on additive manufacturing. This standard for quality management systems (QMS) in additive manufacturing is based on specification DIN SPEC 17071. By contrast, the applicability of the two AM standards, ISO\/ASTM 52904 and 52930 is limited; while ISO 52904 offers guidance for the use of AM in critical <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a>s, ISO 52930 outlines general qualification principles for AM equipment. However, both standards refer to only one class of materials and\/or production technology, and are thus not sufficient for qualification.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.facfox.com\/imgs\/2021\/10\/d2451ba8721ee263.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Post-processing activities such as cleaning, sterilizing, and packaging can critically influence the biological safety, surface quality, and <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/mechanics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mechanic<\/a>al properties of products. Given this, these activities are of crucial importance in the manufacturing of <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/medical\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medical<\/a> devices. Test requirements vary depending on the individual device and <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a>. Biological safety requirements are summarised in the ISO 10993 standard. The requirements for packaging and sterilization are outlined in the ISO 11607 or EN 556 standards respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Although automation is making strides, the key steps in additive manufacturing are still carried out manually. Quality management systems (QMS), such as ISO 9001, ISO 9100, and ISO 13485, thus require appropriately qualified staff. This applies to areas such as quality testing and development but also machine operators. Validation requires an expert team with expertise from all sub-areas of AM. \u201cCompetent personnel are the key to MedTech industry-grade AM production sites. AM-specific roles must be defined and trained\u201d, emphasized Simon Schlagintweit.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; color: grey;\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dprintingmedia.network\/reliable-processes-for-3d-printing-in-the-medtech-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.
