Re-use/Recycle of circuit boards from SUD

  • 1.  Re-use/Recycle of circuit boards from SUD

    Posted 11-Oct-2016 15:51

    Hello,

    I am looking for any advise or thoughts on regulatory (submission and GMP) requirements for collecting biohazard SUD, removing programmed circuit board from cleaned SUD (note: circuit board is non/contact and is enclosed separately from pathways that are required to be sterile) and reusing in a new SUD with all new components except circuit board.

    Device is Class II (US). Class Is (EU).

    I am questioning if a submission is required if cleaning validation of biohazard SUD is sufficient, and concludes additional sterilization re-validation (for status of sterility) is not required? or if testing for life span over numerous sterilization cycles would automatically trigger a 510k? Also wondering if re-registering as "reprocessor" and updating device listing would trigger a disconnect, if submission not completed?  Thank you in advance.

    Melanie
