Cleaning Validations for Reusable Products - ANSI/AAMI TIR30:2011 Requirements

[eharfield]

ANSI/AAMI TIR30:2011 states that one should expect a 3 log reduction in bioburden for the purposes of a cleaning validation. Are there any other standards or guidances that provide requirements (ideally EU)?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a bunch of other sources to consider:

- ISO 17664:2004, Sterilization of medical devices -- Information to be provided by the manufacturer for the processing of resterilizable medical devices: this standards is harmonized in the EU (EN ISO 17664:2004)

- its US variant ANSI/AAMI ST81:2004

- AAMI TIR12:2010

Thanks!

Do you know if the RKI publication can be found in English?

To my knowledge, the RKI recommendations are available in German only, unfortunately.
