Rethinking Ethylene Oxide (EO) Sterilization: Balancing Safety, Compliance, And Sustainability (E-Book)

Ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization remains essential for medical devices, but its toxic profile and tightening regulations are driving a shift toward safer, lower-concentration cycles. This ebook explains how manufacturers can reduce EO levels without compromising sterility assurance, helping to protect staff, safeguard the environment, and streamline compliance. It explores the critical role of calibrated Process Challenge Devices (PCDs) and Biological Indicators (BIs) in achieving reliable validation, minimizing variability, and ensuring compliance with ISO 11135 standards. By comparing in-house and commercial PCDs, gain insight into the advantages of traceable, pre-calibrated tools in reducing labor, improving safety, and streamlining routine monitoring.

For teams navigating regulatory pressure and sustainability goals, learn how you can modernize EO sterilization practices with confidence.
