Sterilization of health care products - Radiation - Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices (ISO 11137-1:2006/Amd 1:2013)

1.1 This part of ISO 11137 specifies requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a radiation sterilization process for medical devices.
NOTE Although the scope of this part of ISO 11137 is limited to medical devices, it specifies requirements and
provides guidance that may be applicable to other products and equipment.
This part of ISO 11137 covers radiation processes employing irradiators using,
a) the radionuclide 60Co or 137Cs,
b) a beam from an electron generator or
c) a beam from an X-ray generator.
1.2 This part of ISO 11137 does not specify requirements for development, validation and routine control of a process for inactivating the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. Specific recommendations have been produced in particular countries for the processing of materials potentially contaminated with these agents.
NOTE See, for example, ISO 22442-1, ISO 22442-2 and ISO 22442-3.
1.2.1 This part of ISO 11137 does not detail specified requirements for designating a medical device as sterile.
NOTE Attention is drawn to regional and national requirements for designating medical devices as “sterile.” See, for example, EN 556-1 or ANSI/AAMI ST67.
1.2.2 This part of ISO 11137 does not specify a quality management system for the control of all stages of production of medical devices.
NOTE It is not a requirement of this part of ISO 11137 to have a complete quality management system during manufacture, but the elements of a quality management system that are the minimum necessary to control the sterilization process are normatively referenced at appropriate places in the text (see, in particular, Clause 4). Attention is drawn to the standards for quality management systems (see ISO 13485) that control all stages of production of medical devices, including the sterilization process. Regional and national regulations for the provision of medical devices might require implementation of a complete quality management system and the assessment of that system by a third party.
1.2.3 This part of ISO 11137 does not require that biological indicators be used for validation or monitoring of radiation sterilization, nor does it require that a pharmacopoeial test for sterility be carried out for product release.
1.2.4 This part of ISO 11137 does not specify requirements for occupational safety associated with the design and operation of irradiation facilities.
NOTE Attention is also drawn to the existence, in some countries, of regulations laying down safety requirements for occupational safety related to radiation.
1.2.5 This part of ISO 11137 does not specify requirements for the sterilization of used or reprocessed
devices.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11137-1 Amd.1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of health care products.
This amendment modifies subclauses in the International Standard.
