Microrite, Inc. brings you this unique learning experience in Nitrogen Dioxide - A Solution for Sterilization and Decontamination; Part of Microrite’s step-by-step webinar series.
Nitrogen Dioxide - A Solution for Sterilization and Decontamination erience in understanding, detecting, preventing, testing, removing and controlling microbial biofilms The changes in medical devices are driving changes in sterilization technology. In the 1980’s, medical devices where relatively simple designs, made with stainless steel and some polymers. Today medical devices are much more complex with circuit boards, biodegradable materials, drug eluting structures, and drug/device combination products. This complexity causes more challenges with compatibility between materials processed and the main sterilization methods (ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide, gamma and ebeam). In fact, some manufacturers will rely on more than one sterilization process to address the needs of today’s medical devices. This discussion will introduce a new technology for sterilization and decontamination. The use of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) for sterilization and decontamination has been developed over the last decade for use in many segments of the life science market. The NO2 technology is another tool for pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical device manufacturers to solve the challenges of today’s products. Some of the challenges solved by the use of NO2 include sterilization (surface decontamination) of prefilled syringes without contaminating the drug in the syringe, decontamination and depyrogenation of glove boxes and isolators used for processing and filling, sterilizing biodegradable implants without altering the properties of the implant, and sterilizing packaged medical devices for a manufacturer in order to reduce costs.
