EN ISO 11138-3:2006

Sterilization of health care products - Biological indicators - Part 3: Biological indicators for moist heat sterilization processes (ISO 11138-3:2006)

This part of ISO 11138 provides specific requirements for test organisms, suspensions, inoculated carriers, biological indicators and test methods intended for use in assessing the performance of sterilization processes employing moist heat as the sterilizing agent. Moist heat as the sterilizing agent is defined in this part of ISO 11138 as dry saturated steam. While air-steam mixtures may be used in moist heat sterilization processes, the methods and performance requirements of this part of ISO 11138 might not be applicable for biological indicators used in such processes.

Sterilisation von Produkten für die Gesundheitsfürsorge - Biologische Indikatoren - Teil 3: Biologische Indikatoren für Sterilisationsverfahren mit feuchter Hitze (ISO 11138-3:2006)

Dieser Teil von ISO 11138 legt spezifische Anforderungen an Prüfkeime, Suspensionen, beimpfte Keimträger, biologische Indikatoren und Prüfverfahren fest, die für die Anwendung bei der Beurteilung der Leistung von Sterilisationsverfahren vorgesehen sind, die feuchte Hitze als Sterilisiermittel anwenden.
Feuchte Hitze als Sterilisiermittel ist in diesem Teil der ISO 11138 als trockener gesättigter Dampf definiert. Bei Sterilisationsverfahren mit feuchter Hitze können Luft Dampf Gemische verwendet werden, die Verfahren und Leistungsanforderungen dieses Teils der ISO 11138 sind jedoch möglicherweise nicht für biologische Indikatoren anwendbar, die in solchen Verfahren verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Anforderungen an die Validierung und Überwachung von Sterilisationsverfahren mit feuchter Hitze sind in ISO 17665 festgelegt.
ANMERKUNG 2 Anforderungen an die Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz können in nationalen oder regionalen Bestimmungen festgelegt sein.
