# Inorganic residue analysis according to ISO 19227

## Actors of the Medical Devices sector, you wish to analyze the inorganic residues on your products

The international standard ISO 19227 “**Surgical Implants – Cleanliness of Orthopaedic Implants – General Requirements**” is a guideline describing the requirements for the cleanliness of orthopaedic implants and the validation of the cleaning processes used.

The objective of cleaning validation via [ISO 19227](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-biocompatibility-testing/laboratory-exhaustiveness-verification-iso-10993-12.md) is to verify the effectiveness of the cleaning process in reducing physical, chemical and microbiological contaminants below a customer-defined level.

### Why analyze inorganic residues according to the 19227 standard?

Inorganic residues can have adverse effects on the durability of medical devices but also on their non-toxicity.

Therefore, the analysis of inorganic residues according to the [19227](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-biocompatibility-testing/laboratory-exhaustiveness-verification-iso-10993-12.md) standard, allows to verify the conformity of your medical devices and to put them on the market.
