Our Priorclave’s optional installation qualification (IQ) and operational qualification (OQ) services ensure that autoclaves meet industry regulations and function reliably under defined conditions. These processes are essential for laboratories seeking compliance with accreditation standards, ensuring their equipment operates efficiently and consistently.

IQ involves verifying that the autoclave has been installed correctly, according to Priorclave’s specifications and regulatory requirements. This includes checking the location, utility connections and documentation to confirm that the unit is set up for optimal performance. Once installation is validated, OQ tests the operational functionality of the autoclave. This includes cycle verification, temperature uniformity, pressure consistency and safety feature testing to ensure the system operates as intended under real-world conditions.

By performing IQ and OQ, laboratories gain confidence in the reliability of their autoclave, reducing the risk of sterilisation failures and ensuring reproducible results. This qualification process not only provides regulatory peace of mind but also enhances operational efficiency by identifying and resolving potential issues before routine use. With Priorclave’s trained engineers overseeing these procedures, customers receive comprehensive documentation and expert support, ensuring their autoclaves meet the highest standards of safety, performance and compliance.
