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

SST Spine (verified owner) –
Jack delivered the training exceptionally well. He was highly knowledgeable, clear, and easy to follow throughout. He even anticipated and addressed many of the questions I had before I had the chance to ask them.
A particularly valuable aspect was the supportive learning environment he created, which made me feel comfortable enough to ask questions I would not normally raise.
I also gained a great deal of practical knowledge from the course. I have since reviewed a sterilization re-validation protocol with a contractor company and now feel much more confident in understanding what is being requested and what to look for. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Cook Medical (verified owner) –
An informative and helpful course featuring clear, easy-to-follow slides supported by well-delivered and knowledgeable instruction. The course instructor demonstrated strong competence and communicated the content effectively throughout.
It was also a valuable approach to gather input from attendees ahead of the course, ensuring that both participants and the instructor were aligned on expectations and desired outcomes in advance.
