  • Title: How to simulate shelf life for ageing trials.
    Author: Turner M.
    Journal: Med Device Technol; 2002; 13(1):90. PubMed ID: 11921784.
    Abstract:
    Medical device manufacturers are compelled to validate the shelf-life claims of their products. If the materials used in the product and packaging can withstand elevated temperatures, accelerated ageing regimes may be used to simulate real-time ageing. If elevated temperatures are detrimental to the components involved, then real-time ageing is the only option. All testing should be carried out on sterile product when appropriate.
