CCI-004219

Test sanitization equipment in accordance with the organization-defined frequency to ensure that the intended sanitization is being achieved.

Implementation Guidance

Determine if: - sanitization equipment is tested [MP-06(02)_ODP[01]; frequency with which to test sanitization equipment is defined] to ensure that the intended sanitization is being achieved. - sanitization procedures are tested [MP-06(02)_ODP[02]; frequency with which to test sanitization procedures is defined] to ensure that the intended sanitization is being achieved.
