Sterilization of health care products - Biological indicators - Part 7: Guidance for the selection, use and interpretation of results (ISO 11138-7:2019)

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 the selection and use of biological indicators intended to monitor vaporised hydrogen peroxide processes for isolator and room biodecontamination processes at atmospheric pressure.
It is not applicable to liquid immersion sterilization processes.

Sterilisation von Produkten für die Gesundheitsfürsorge - Biologische Indikatoren - Teil 7: Leitfaden für die Auswahl, Verwendung und Interpretation von Ergebnissen (ISO 11138-7:2019)

Dieses Dokument enthält einen Leitfaden für die Auswahl, Verwendung und Interpretation von Ergebnissen, die durch die Anwendung von biologischen Indikatoren bei der Entwicklung, Validierung und Routineüberwachung von Sterilisationsverfahren erzielt werden.
Es umfasst keine Verfahren, die ausschließlich auf physikalischer Entfernung von Mikroorganismen, z. B. durch Filtration, beruhen.
Es ist nicht auf Kombinationsverfahren anwendbar, die z. B. Reinigungs /Desinfektionsgeräte verwenden oder das Durchspülen und die Dampfbehandlung von Rohrleitungen.
Es legt keine Anforderungen an die Auswahl und Verwendung biologischer Indikatoren fest, die zur Über-wachung von Verfahren mit verdampftem Wasserstoffperoxid für die Biodekontamination von Isolatoren und Räumen unter Atmosphärendruck vorgesehen sind.
Es gilt nicht für Sterilisationsverfahren mit Flüssigkeitskapselung.

Stérilisation des produits de santé - Indicateurs biologiques - Partie 7: Directives générales pour la sélection, l’utilisation et l’interprétation des résultats (ISO 11138-7:2019)

Le présent document fournit des directives pour la sélection, l'utilisation et l'interprétation des résultats issus de l'application des indicateurs biologiques dans la mise au point, la validation et la surveillance de routine des procédés de stérilisation.
Il ne traite pas des procédés qui reposent uniquement sur l'élimination physique des microorganismes, par exemple la filtration.
Il n'est pas applicable aux procédés fonctionnant en combinaison avec, par exemple, des laveurs-désinfecteurs ou des machines de rinçage et traitement à la vapeur des canalisations.
Il ne spécifie pas les exigences relatives à la sélection et à l'utilisation des indicateurs biologiques destinés à surveiller les procédés au peroxyde d'hydrogène vaporisé pour les isolateurs et les procédés de biodécontamination des pièces à la pression atmosphérique.
Il n'est pas applicable aux procédés de stérilisation par immersion dans un liquide.

Sterilizacija izdelkov za zdravstveno nego - Biološki indikatorji - 7. del: Navodilo za izbiro, uporabo in predstavitev rezultatov (ISO 11138-7:2019)

Ta dokument podaja navodilo za izbiro, uporabo in predstavitev rezultatov pri uporabi bioloških indikatorjev, kadar se uporabljajo pri razvoju, potrjevanju in rutinskem spremljanju sterilizacijskih postopkov.
Ne upošteva tistih postopkov, ki temeljijo samo na fizičnem odstranjevanju mikroorganizmov, npr. filtriranju.
Ne uporablja se za kombinirane postopke, ki na primer uporabljajo čistilno-dezinfekcijske naprave ali spiranje in parno obdelavo cevovodov.
Ne določa zahtev za izbiro in uporabo bioloških indikatorjev, ki so namenjeni spremljanju postopkov z uplinjenim vodikovim peroksidom pri postopkih biološke dekontaminacije izolatorja in prostorov pri atmosferskem tlaku.
Ne uporablja se za postopke sterilizacije s potopitvijo v tekočino.
