ST41 and ST79 Registry
The following standards are maintained under continuous maintenance procedures.
- ANSI/AAMI ST41, Ethylene oxide sterilization in health care facilities: Safety and effectiveness
- ANSI/AAMI ST79, Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities
The purpose of continuous maintenance is to permit standards and guidelines to evolve and be updated on a regular basis (as opposed to a fixed multi-year cycle). As such, proposals for revisions to ST41 and ST79 are sought from interested and knowledgeable parties.
Comments or proposals for revisions to any part of these standards may be submitted to AAMI any time. Written comments are to be sent to: Standards Dept., AAMI, 4301 N. Fairfax Dr., Suite 301, Arlington, VA 22203-1633. Comments may also be e-mailed to: standards@aami.org.
E-Mail Notification Registry
