Ensuring the Safety and Integrity of Connected Diabetic Devices: Navigating Regulatory, Sterilization, and Testing Challenges.

Thursday, January 23, 2025 3:10 PM to 3:40 PM · 30 min. (Europe/Paris)
Learning Lab Theatre L20

Connected devices such as Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices are essential for effective diabetes management, offering real-time glucose data to patients and healthcare providers. However, each stage of the connected device lifecycle, from design to commercialization, presents unique challenges in maintaining sterility, safety, and regulatory compliance. In this presentation, Jean-François (Jeff) Zeevaert, Principal Scientist Gas Sterilization at Sterigenics, will outline critical challenges that manufacturers must address: Device Complexity, Residual Management, Safety Testing, Cybersecurity, Regulatory Compliance, and Sterilization. Jeff will then dive deeper into sterilization considerations, covering key aspects such as, feasibility, residue management and stored energy (eg, battery). With CGM sensors in direct contact with body fluids, proper sterilization is vital to ensure patient safety without compromising device functionality. By understanding and addressing these challenges early in the design and development process, manufacturers can improve device performance, ensure compliance, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
