Refresh your knowledge and gain new perspectives

Would you like to deepen your knowledge of medical device reprocessing and gain new perspectives through direct exchange with experts? Then we warmly invite you to our free event.

This year, we are once again organizing our Business Brunch 2026 on medical device reprocessing. In this format, we focus on key topics related to the safe and compliant reprocessing of medical devices.

The reprocessing of medical devices is an essential component of patient safety and presents facilities with complex challenges on a daily basis. Medical device reprocessors must meet strict requirements. Processes such as cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, validation, and documentation are integral parts of a responsible reprocessing process.

You can look forward to fresh perspectives from TÜV NORD as a certification body, as well as exciting guest lectures from experts. In a pleasant atmosphere with delicious food and selected beverages, you will also have the opportunity to make new contacts and engage in personal conversations.
