Decontamination Installation, Commissioning & Validation

Avensys provides specialist installation, commissioning, and validation services to support the safe, compliant operation of medical decontamination equipment across NHS and private healthcare environments.

Alongside our technical services, we also offer independent advice and consultancy to support the selection and specification of decontamination equipment tailored to the needs of individual Sterile Services Departments.

 

Equipment Selection & Technical Consultancy

Avensys is frequently consulted by healthcare providers to support the selection or shortlisting of medical decontamination equipment. Drawing on the extensive experience of our management team and engineers, we provide professional, independent advice based on the specific operational, clinical, and compliance requirements of each department.

Our consultancy process can include:

  • Site visits

  • Risk assessments

  • Method statements

  • Review of operational workflows and constraints

All recommendations are made independently and are focused solely on meeting the medical decontamination requirements of our clients. We consider a wide range of equipment options to ensure the most appropriate solution is identified for each application.

 

Installation & Commissioning

Avensys employs manufacturer-trained engineers qualified to professionally install and commission a wide range of medical decontamination equipment, including:

  • Autoclaves and sterilisers

  • Washer disinfectors

  • Automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs)

  • Ultrasonics

  • Gas plasma systems

  • Associated peripheral equipment

Our engineers are qualified to work on equipment manufactured by all major UK, European, and US brands.

While installation and commissioning are often included by manufacturers as part of an equipment purchase, Avensys can undertake this work independently or as part of a wider project. Our services can also include peripheral works such as:

  • Relocation of existing equipment

  • Safe decommissioning and disposal

  • New or modified pipework and connections

All installations and commissioning activities are carried out in accordance with HTM 01-01 through HTM 01-06, ensuring equipment is fully operational, compliant, and ready for clinical use.

 

Calibration & Validation

Periodic calibration and validation of medical decontamination equipment is a regulatory requirement under Department of Health guidance relating to HTM 01-01 through HTM 01-06.

Avensys provides comprehensive calibration and validation services for:

  • Autoclaves and sterilisers

  • Washer disinfectors

  • Ultrasonics

  • Gas plasma systems

  • Automated endoscope reprocessors

  • Other peripheral decontamination equipment

These services ensure equipment operates safely, accurately, and within defined performance parameters, supporting both UK and European compliance requirements

Validation Systems & Reporting

Avensys engineers use a bespoke validation and reporting system developed in collaboration with an international leader in thermal validation processes. This system is designed to comply fully with relevant Department of Health guidance and supports the generation and secure storage of clear, traceable calibration and validation reports.

This approach provides:

  • Robust audit trails

  • Clear evidence of compliance

  • Confidence in equipment performance

  • Support for governance and inspection processes
