11.080.01 - Sterilization and disinfection in general

This document specifies requirements for the characterization of a liquid chemical sterilizing agent and for the development, validation, process control and monitoring of sterilization by liquid chemical sterilizing agents of single-use medical devices comprising, in whole or in part, materials of animal origin. This document covers the control of risks arising from contamination with bacteria and fungi by application of a liquid chemical sterilization process. Risks associated with other micro...view more

This document provides guidance on the requirements of ISO 11135 that apply when parametric release is used to release the product after exposure to the sterilization process. It provides a path for transition of existing cycles, as well as a path for the development and implementation of a parametric release specification for a new cycle. Additionally, it highlights the importance and interrelationship of other process factors, i.e. load configuration and equipment performance, which influence ...view more

This document provides additional guidance to that given in ISO 11137-3 on meeting the requirements specified in ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2 and ISO/TS 13004 for the establishment and control of a radiation sterilization process using gamma, electron beam, and X-irradiation.

EN-ISO 11737-2 specifies the general criteria for tests of sterility on medical devices that have been exposed to a treatment with the sterilizing agent which has been reduced relative to that anticipated to be used in routine sterilization processing. These tests are intended to be performed when defining, validating or maintaining a sterilization process. This document is not applicable to: a) sterility testing for routine release of product that has been subjected to a sterilization process, ...view more

This International Standard describes how to digitally exchange soil-related data. It aims to facilitate the exchange of valid, clearly described and specified soil-related data between individuals and organizations via digital systems, and enables any soil data producer, holder or user to find and transfer data in an unambiguous way. This International Standard contains definitions of features, several parameter specifications and encoding rules that allow consistent and retrievable data exchan...view more

This document provides guidance for the selection, use and interpretation of results from application of
biological indicators when used in the development, validation and routine monitoring of sterilization
processes.
It does not consider those processes that rely solely on physical removal of microorganisms, e.g.
filtration.
It is not applicable to combination processes using, for example, washer-disinfectors or flushing and
steaming of pipelines.
It does not specify requirements for th...view more

This International Standard defines terms in the field of sterilization of healthcare products used in the standards developed by ISO/TC 198 "Sterilization of healthcare products", CEN/TC 204 "Sterilization of medical devices", and CEN/TC 102 "Sterilizers and associated equipment for processing of medical devices".

This document specifies the requirements for test equipment to be used to:
— test biological indicators for steam, ethylene oxide gas and dry heat sterilization processes for
conformity to the requirements given in ISO 11138 series;
— test chemical indicators for steam, ethylene oxide gas, dry heat and vaporized hydrogen peroxide
sterilization processes for conformity to the requirements given in ISO 11140-1:2014.
This document also provides informative methods useful in characterizing the ...view more
