Do your PCDs deliver the performance that regulators expect?

Eliminate variability, shorten turnaround, and strengthen compliance with the engineered PCD portfolio from Mesa Labs. Trusted by IVD and medical device manufacturers worldwide.
Your sterilization data is only as reliable as the PCD behind it.
Choosing the wrong PCD adds risk at every stage: wasted cycles, inconsistent results, unnecessary costs, and even operator safety concerns. The right PCD, by contrast, provides reliable sterility assurance, supports ISO 13485 compliance, reduces turnaround time, and helps you avoid the variability of in-house test packs.
This guide, designed for IVD and medical device professionals, explains how to select PCDs that improve efficiency, strengthen compliance, and ensure your EO sterilization process performs exactly as intended.
Top takeaways from the "Process Challenge Device (PCD): Selection Guide":
- How to select the right PCD across the full EO resistance range (3–58 minutes) so your sterilization cycles are challenged appropriately and validated with confidence.
- How SCBI technology improves efficiency and safety by reducing turnaround times, speeding release, eliminating the need for a clean bench, and minimizing EO exposure.
- Why moving away from in-house packs cuts cost and risk - reducing material, labor, and recovery costs while ensuring consistency in every cycle.
- How ISO 13485–certified manufacturing and load-specific identification strengthen compliance with traceable, shelf-stable PCDs that clarify BI failures and reduce variability.
- Why commercially manufactured PCDs reduce infection risk and deliver reliable sterility assurance compared to homemade alternatives.
