NVISIA Provides Objective Assessment for Sterigenics' Automated Sterilization Process

CHICAGO, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NVISIA, a software development partner with a 22-year history of connecting business innovation with emerging software technology, today announced a successful engagement with Sterigenics. NVISIA provided a tailored third-party assessment focusing on the testability and maintainability of Sterigenics' VeriCycle™ Automated Process Verification solution designed to validate the sterilization cycle prior to shipment.   

Key Facts:

• Providing sterilization services for medical equipment requires a level of trust that is unparalleled by many industries. Should the verification of the sterilization process be compromised, resulting in a unit being shipped prior to completing a successful cycle, the effects could be disastrous.
• Sterigenics needed a qualified and objective outside firm with a strong software development background to inspect the design, architecture and code to provide assurance that the solution would be reliable, available and supportable.
• With a collaborative approach, NVISIA provided hands-on advice and expertise to ensure Sterigenics was fully equipped to promptly address any short-term issues as well as maintain and improve the software in the long-term.
• NVISIA helped Sterigenics establish stronger policies around release management and automated unit testing, while exploring potential long-term business requirements and suggested enhancements that could be implemented as appropriate to support expansion in the future.
