Power of Parametric: Methods to Validate Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Parametric Release.

When approaching an ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization validation, medical device manufacturers traditionally have two choices. They can use biological indicators (BIs) to monitor each production run or establish a parametric release process in which sterile release is based on the monitoring and control of physical process parameters that ensure process specifications are met. In ISO 11135:2014, parametric release was brought to the forefront as an acceptable release method; however, a perception exists that implementing parametric release is challenging and time consuming.

Immune Response to Mucosal Infection.
