The National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI ) is hosting international experts at an ISO Technical Committee Plenary event in Galway this week, which aims to further the development of standards in the sterilization of healthcare products. This event is being hosted at the ATU Galway city campus.
Standards play a key role in the quality assurance and sterility assurance processes in the area of medical technology (MedTech ). Galway is home to a wide variety of companies in the area of MedTech, including multinationals and SMEs. This contributes to Ireland’s MedTech sector which includes more than 300 companies, employing more than 40,000 people.
“These plenary events afford key opportunities to standards experts to come together to ensure that areas such as the sterilization of healthcare products are continuously evolving to meet the cutting edge of developments in the area," Geraldine Larkin, CEO of NSAI, said ahead of the event. "Plenary events such as these bring together global experts to ensure that innovation and regulation continue to work together to bring about best practice in key areas such as medical technology and healthcare.”
