Physical aspects of ethylene oxide sterilizationAAMI TIR15:2009
This webinar series reviews the newly revised AAMI TIR15 — outlining the significant differences between the current and prior versions. Information provided in the TIR is reviewed to examine how it can be used to define and improve sterilization processes as well as to ensure compliance to safety standards and the standard for EO sterilization (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135-1).
You will have an opportunity to hear from one of the co-chairs of the AAMI EO Sterilization Working Group and the chair of the task group that led the revision of AAMI TIR15. At the conclusion of the program, attendees will have gained knowledge that will assist in the operation of ethylene oxide sterilization within their organization.
