ISO 11737 Sterilization of medical devices – Microbiological methods ISO 11737-1:2006 Part 1: Determination of a population of microorganisms on products; ISO 11737-2:2009 Part 2: Tests of sterility performed in the definition, validation and maintenance of a sterilization process; ISO/IEC 11756:1999 Information technology - Programming ...
The ISO 10993 set entails a series of standards for evaluating the biocompatibility of medical devices to manage biological risk. These documents were preceded by the Tripartite agreement and is a part of the international harmonisation of the safe use evaluation of medical devices. [1]
Ethylene oxide treatment is the most common chemical sterilization method, used for approximately 70% of total sterilizations, and for over 50% of all disposable medical devices. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] Ethylene oxide treatment is generally carried out between 30 and 60 °C (86 and 140 °F) with relative humidity above 30% and a gas concentration between ...
The odor threshold for these gases is above the PELs and for ethylene oxide it is 500 ppm, approaching that of the IDLH. [1] Odor is thus inadequate as a monitoring technique. Continuous gas monitors are used as part of an overall safety program to provide a prompt alert to nearby workers in the event that there is a leak of the sterilant gas ...
In microbiology, in the context of a sterilization procedure, the D-value or decimal reduction time (or decimal reduction dose) is the time (or dose of an antimicrobial drug) required, at a given condition (e.g. temperature) or set of conditions, to achieve a one-log reduction, that is, to kill 90% of relevant microorganisms.

A wildfire in Malibu, California, has exploded to more than 2,000 acres, prompting evacuations. Pepperdine University students sheltered in place for six hours.
Sterile dental instruments from hospital central supply (barcoded label indicating sterilization date, expiry date and contents). The central sterile services department (CSSD), also called sterile processing department (SPD), sterile processing, central supply department (CSD), or central supply, is an integrated place in hospitals and other health care facilities that performs sterilization ...
Unbeknownst to her, and the wait staff, the kitchen had recently changed the recipe for the dish, adding peanut sauce to the fish.
