[Legal basis for the hygienic processing of medicinal products]

Abstract

The major objectives of the German Medicinal Products Act (Medizinproduktegesetz, MPG) and the Medicinal Products Marketing Act (Medizinprodukte-etreiberverordnung, MPBetreibV) are to avoid the dangers (to health) arising from medicinal products (MP). This necessitates procedures for the professional maintenance of the, according to regulations low in germs or sterile, MP to be used. These procedures are associated with qualified personnel, appropriate resources, a reproducibly successful processing procedure and control of the technical-unctional safety of the MP.
