Compliance with Regulations Creating a Competitive Edge and Consumer Confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the biggest concerns for patients after surgery is the risk of infection due to bacteria entering the incision. Medical staff take every precaution to prevent contamination, but all that hard work can be undone by unknowingly using compromised equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the FDA\u2019s \u201cContamination Control<\/a>\u201d for finished medical devices, manufacturers must create and maintain procedures that prevent contamination that could reasonably have a negative impact on product quality. Using antimicrobial parts helps meet this regulation, creating consumer confidence in your product and resulting in a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the end goal of your product has an immediate impact on consumer health, such as with food products and pharmaceuticals, the addition of antimicrobial parts within the manufacturing process helps minimize the risk of foodborne illness and the potential for poor quality product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The FDA states \u201csanitation of non-food-contact surfaces<\/a>\u201d requires protection against allergen cross-contact and contamination of food by sufficiently cleaning equipment as frequently as necessary. Pairing self-sanitizing parts with a regular cleaning process creates a multilayered system that helps reduce the chances of wasted product and health concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When building a list of parts needed for your next design, you now have more options to fight the unseen contaminants with the benefits of antimicrobial parts offered through MISUMI<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Elesa](\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2-1.png\")
