Sterilization Validation Webinar – $79

Why you should register for the sterilization validation webinar
The sterilization validation section of the submission is not just a paragraph referencing the recognized standards that were applied. Sterilization validation must be completed in accordance with the most recent standard regardless of which market you are seeking regulatory approval in. For FDA submissions, you are not required to submit your complete test reports for sterilization validation, but you must provide a thorough summary, or the FDA reviewer will request complete reports. This webinar will show you how to write that summary.
This sterilization validation webinar will also review the strengths and weaknesses of different sterilization methods. This will include both the category A sterilization methods (e.g., steam, gamma, and EO) and the category B sterilization methods. The selection of a sterilization method impacts your short-term verification and validation testing costs, but it also impacts how long validation will take and your long-term sterilization costs. Ethylene oxide used to be the most common sterilization method, but stricter environmental regulations are requiring that the medical device industry find innovative sterilization methods. We will discuss those newer methods during this webinar.
