  • Title: Dosimetry for quality assurance in electron-beam sterilization of medical devices.
    Author: Mehta K, Kovács A, Miller A.
    Journal: Med Device Technol; 1993 May; 4(4):24-9. PubMed ID: 10148574.
    Abstract:
    During recent years, electron-beamed sterilization has quickly moved towards being able to compete with gamma-radiation sterilization, particularly now that several companies are offering high-power accelerators that can deliver electron beams with energies of 10 MeV; these beams are powerful enough to penetrate most medical devices. This article describes the role of dosimetry and the procedures used in the quality assurance and documentation required for electron-beam sterilization.
