Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The decision on how to sterilise a medical device is dependant on many factors and as a result requires detailed investigation early in a project. The key factors are which processes are compatible with the materials and packaging used for the product. Other critical factors are cost, speed, the availability of a technology and level of customer support that is provided.
