  • Title: Converting to gamma-radiation sterilization: an overview for medical device manufacturers.
    Author: Brinston RM, Wilson BK.
    Journal: Med Device Technol; 1993 May; 4(4):18-22. PubMed ID: 10148573.
    Abstract:
    Gamma radiation is becoming increasingly popular as a method of sterilizing disposable medical devices. The conversion from ethylene oxide sterilization to gamma radiation may involve redesigning products and packaging, and establishing a new method of sterilization. However, the conversion process can be regarded as an opportunity to enhance product design, improve processes, and reduce costs. In this article, the authors explain how conversion can be manageably achieved by providing a step-by-step conversion programme.
