In sterile environments, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, food & beverage production and biotechnology, pressure gauges must undergo rigorous cleaning and sterilization to ensure hygienic compliance while maintaining process integrity and operational safety. Ashcroft is a globally recognized leader in pressure and temperature instrumentation. As experts in this field, it is our job to fully understand the requirements our products must meet for use in these highly regulated industries and answer customer questions to help them make informed decisions. The question that prompted this article was from a customer who wanted to know the different ways to keep their pressure instruments compliant with hygienic requirements. Read this article to learn what hygienic compliance means for sterile processes, who sets and enforces these standards and how three widely used cleaning methods—Clean-in-Place (CIP), Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) and autoclaving can help your systems prevent contamination. When you are done, you will have a better understanding of these processes, applications, benefits, and limitations as they relate to sanitary operations. You will also be directed to additional resources that can help you determine which instruments are best suited to keep your system running safely and efficiently in sterile environments.
