Abstract:
It is commonly accepted that terminally sterilized healthcare products are rarely the source of a hospital-acquired infection (HAI). The vast majority of HAIs arise from human-borne contamination from the workforce, the clinical environment, less-than-aseptic handling techniques, and the patients themselves. Nonetheless, the requirement for a maximal sterility assurance level (SAL) of a terminally sterilized product has remained at 10−6, which is the probability of one in one million that a single viable microorganism will be on a product after sterilization. This paper presents a probabilisti

Abstract:
Abstract Hospitals are under continual pressure to improve turnaround times for surgical procedures and to find ways to release sterilized product without the need to wait for biological indicator (BI) results. Current procedures used in healthcare do not allow for release of sterilized products based on parameters because hospitals do not validate their sterilization processes. Once a sterilization process is validated for a particular product family, those loads may be released based upon evaluation of the sterilization parameters achieved in the cycle, i.e., parametric release.

Abstract:
Abstract Based on excellent material compatibility and ability for scale, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization constitutes approximately 50% of single-use medical device sterilization globally. Epidemiological considerations have elevated focus toward optimization of EO processes, whereby only necessary amounts of sterilant are used in routine processing. EO sterilization of medical devices is validated in accordance with AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11135:2014 via a manner in which a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10−6 is typically achieved, with multiple layers of conservativeness delivered, using “overki

Abstract:
The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage and water resources has been used as an indication for the possible occurrence of the virus among communities and for its potential of transmission among humans through the surrounding environment or water resources. In order to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, contaminated surfaces should be disinfected frequently by using an effective disinfectant. The present review discusses a bibliometric analysis of the global SARS-CoV-2 research and focuses mainly on reviewing the efficiency of the most traditional disinfection technologies.

Background: The transplantation of human amniotic membrane (HAM) is a significant accomplishment in the fields of cosmetic surgery, ocular surgery, epidermis, abdominal and vaginal reconstruction, and cosmetic surgery, as it has the potential to save thousands of lives annually. Nevertheless, the risk of infectious disease transmission using amniotic membrane allografts is a significant concern, as microorganisms can be introduced into the grafts during tissue procurement. Objectives: This study aimed at the genotypic characterization of the multidrug-resistant (MDR) membrane-associated bacter

Abstract:
Abstract The applications for sterility testing in the validation and routine control of sterilization of medical devices have changed dramatically over the years. As the definition of sterility assurance has evolved, so has the state of the science associated with product sterility testing. Historically, product sterility testing has been applied to such things as sterilization validation, sterilization lot release, packaging qualification, aseptic processing qualification, and determination of shelf life for the packaged medical device. In most of these cases, however, the results obtained f

Abstract:
Procedures specified by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) are used by Texwipe and some other wiper manufacturers to certify the sterility of sterile wipers. The tests assure that there is less than one chance in a million of having a viable particle on one of these sterile wipers when the package is first opened. In six of seven sets of wipers tested, the count distribution data supported the hypothesis that the bioburden (colony-forming units, cfu, per wiper) had a Poisson count distribution, which would come from having a uniform probability of finding a v

Abstract The Cruise-Phase Microbial Survival (CPMS) model was used to estimate the bioburden reduction on the Europa Clipper (EC) spacecraft during its transit to Jupiter based on the final flown Mars–Earth gravity assist (MEGA) trajectory, a trajectory not considered in previous work. The CPMS model evaluates the bioburden reduction due to UV radiation, temperature, and vacuum. Under the MEGA trajectory, bioburdens on external and shallow interior surfaces accumulate the highest reductions due to the synergistic effects of temperature and vacuum, contributing to hundreds of thousands of Steri

Abstract:
Objective.The sterility assurance level of 10−6 is an established standard that defines the quality of sterile products. The aim of the present study was to develop a method that correlated the results from microbial-barrier testing of flexible sterile barrier systems with the estimated microbial challenge that the package encounters during storage and transport.Methods.The effectiveness of microbial-barrier packaging was determined by the use of an exposure chamber test with 20 periodic atmospheric pressure changes of 50 and 70 hPa. Flexible peel pouches were used as sterile barrier systems.
