This TechTip focuses on what Customers need to know before initiating changes to product packaging in order to ensure that the efficiency and effectiveness of the gamma process is maintained

This overview covers steps and other considerations for the qualification of new medical devices that will be processed with gamma radiation.

View a sample list of products commonly treated with gamma irradiation, examples where gamma is the method of choice and factors preventing the use of other sterilization technologies

Failure to maintain consistent and traceable test processes at all stages of the product lifecycle is a recipe for disaster, according to the test engineers.

This TechTip will explain the differences between single lot validations and full validations of minimum sterilization dose, and outline the advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches to dose setting.

Glass is particularly susceptible to radiation-induced coloration/discoloration due to its amorphous, non-crystalline structure. Learn how irradiation affects the color properties of products containing glass
