Esterilización de agrupación de productos

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Instruments Medical devices
Hi folks! I hope you are all well. This is from a training manual for a Spanish company that produces medical devices in the section on what the technical coordinator is responsible for. "Agrupación", as I understand it, is grouping or clustering several products under the same CE mark, but how does one sterilize a grouping? I don't even get that. Maybe it means sterilization procedures for groups of devices with the CE mark?

Thanks

Product groups works Thanks a lot Liz. I had something similar at first and I doubted myself. Why don't you enter it as an answer and get your points? And Sergio, thanks so much for your research as well!

@ Lisa Mann/Sergio I found this but I am not sure: https://support.ce-check.eu/hc/en-us/articles/360008712879-C... Class I Medical Devices

Medical devices class I have the lowest perceived risk. The manufacturers of such devices can choose one out of three possible CE marking routes. In this regard, they should consider the following: if the medical device is sterile, e.g., a personal protection kit; if the medical device has measuring functions, e.g., stethoscope; and, if it’s not sterile, nor measuring, e.g., corrective glasses. If your product is class I, and it’s not a sterile or measuring device, then all you need to do is to self-certificate it, and formally declare its compliance with the applicable requirements of the MDD via a written statement. If it’s a sterile or a measuring medical device, then you will need a Notified body assessment.

@Lisa Mann IMHO, you're on the right track ("Maybe it means sterilization procedures for groups of devices with the CE mark?")
