DAMGAARD SOLUTIONS · REVALIDATION SERVICE

Revalidation that keeps hospital sterilization compliant.

Autoclaves, washer-disinfectors and low-temperature sterilizers drift over time. We revalidate and requalify them on a scheduled agreement, with traceable certificates your quality system can defend. Delivered across Scandinavia by a named specialist.

Engineering delivery trusted onEurope's most compliance-intensive GMP sites
The problem

Sterilizers drift. Accreditation does not forgive it.

The guidelines require it

Revalidation and requalification on a fixed schedule under ISO 17665, EN 285 and ISO 15883, for the life of every unit.

Drift is invisible until it fails

Sensors and gauges lose accuracy quietly. Scheduled revalidation catches it before a load, an audit, or a patient does.

Capacity is scarce

The pharma boom is absorbing Nordic validation talent. We arrive when the gap is widest.

Scope

The full recurring compliance package.

One agreement covers the equipment and the instruments that prove it still performs.

Equipment requalification
  • Steam sterilizers (autoclaves, EN 285, FSTA national guideline)
  • Washer-disinfectors (ISO 15883, FSTA national guideline)
  • Low-temperature sterilizers (ISO 14937)
  • Thermometric performance on schedule
Instrument calibration
  • Onboard sensors and gauges
  • Calibrated reference instruments (Ellab/Ebro class)
  • Traceable ISO/IEC 17025 calibration certificates on every logger and reference thermometer
Standards coveredDS/EN 285·ISO 17665·DS/EN ISO 15883·ISO 14937·NIR / SSI

The agreement

Revalidation as a service, not a one-off.

1
Planning

We map every unit and set a calendar to your accreditation cycle.

2
Preparation, Part I

Competence records for test personnel, approved annual service, reference and test equipment, water quality, chemical residues, calibration.

3
On-site testing, Part II

Thermometric checks on load, cleaning tests on reference and in-use instruments, post-verification of probes. We bring two sets of measuring equipment, so a unit is only out of service for its own test.

4
Report, Part III

A revalidation report that concludes on the machine's validated state, approved by your quality lead. Repeated annually. Price agreed in advance.

Why Damgaard

An established team with no hardware to sell.

Established engineering brand

We deliver every day on some of Europe's most compliance-intensive GMP sites. Proof, not promises.

Independent of the manufacturer

We do not sell sterilization equipment. Our revalidation answers to your compliance and your quality system, documented to the standard you are held to.

Fixed-price, predictable

Per-unit price and an annual agreement. Cost visible before work begins.

We do not do the initial installation qualification.

That belongs to the equipment supplier. We do the periodic revalidation afterward, year after year. It is our whole job, which is why we are good at it.

Questions we hear

Common questions.

How often should hospital sterilizers be revalidated?

Most sites revalidate on a fixed annual cycle, and again after any major service or relocation. We set the interval to your equipment, your standards, and your audit history so nothing drifts between checks.

Which standards do you work to?

ISO 17665 for moist heat sterilization, EN 285 for large steam sterilizers, ISO 15883 for washer-disinfectors, and ISO 14937 for low-temperature methods. Every visit ends with a signed revalidation report.

Do you work on all makes of equipment?

Yes. We are independent of the manufacturer and we do not sell sterilization equipment, so our only job on site is to confirm your units perform to specification.

What does a revalidation cover?

Instrument calibration and equipment requalification in one planned visit: sensors and controllers verified against reference standards, cycles confirmed, and results documented for your quality system.

What if we do not want to run all the test plans?

Then the rationale must be documented in the department's quality management system on the basis of a risk assessment. Without a full revalidation the machine cannot be declared fully validated with reference to the standard. We help you scope it correctly.

How much downtime should we plan for?

Visits are scheduled around your operating room and sterile supply load and planned in advance, so a unit is only out of service for its own check.
