Course Overview

 

Many medical devices must be sterilised to ensure they are safe for the patient. One of the most popular methods to sterilise a device is using ethylene oxide. Manufacturers using Ethylene Oxide Sterilisation (EOS) on their devices need to comply with international regulations and standards such as ISO 11135:2014, AAMI TIR28:2016 and ISO 10993-7:2008+AMD1:2019.

 

This short live online course will provide you an in-depth insight into EOS process, validation and monitoring. You will examine important standards ISO 11135:2014, AAMI TIR28:2016, ISO 10993-7:2008+AMD1:2019 that you must comply with when using EO as a sterilisation method. Once completed, you will have the knowledge and confidence to oversee of ethylene oxide sterilisation for your products. Learn more about how we deliver live online training
