Hi,

Does anybody have any information or know of any relevant documentation (accelerated aging etc) on how to validate the expiry date given to sterilized parts?

thanks
Simon

I tried the links before posting. Do you have security software preventing you from opening the links?

Hi Simon,

There is one ISO document, ISO 11607, Packaging for Terminally Sterilised Medical Devices - sorry I have not gone through it but looks it will contain more details on this subject.

Btw, I am attaching 2 documents which might be useful to you -

1. FDA guideline on stability test to support the expiry date for medical gloves. This will give you idea on how to determine the expiry dates, and

2. Millipore Validation Guide
