introduction
A sterile medical device is a product that is free of viable microorganisms. When a medical device must be provided in a sterile form, it should be sterilized before
Minimize any unintended microbial contamination. Even if medical device products meet the quality management system (for example. YY/T 0287-
2017), they will still contain a small amount of microorganisms before sterilization. Such products are non-sterile products. destroy
The purpose of sterilization is to inactivate microorganisms, thereby converting non-sterile products into sterile products.
The sterilization kinetics of using physical methods or chemical agents to inactivate pure cultured microorganisms on medical devices can often be determined by surviving microorganisms.
The exponential relationship between the number of organisms and the degree of ethylene oxide treatment is illustrated, which means that regardless of the degree of treatment, microorganisms always
Will survive with a limited probability. For an applied treatment, the probability of microbial survival is determined by the number of microorganisms, their resistance, and the
Determined by the environment in which microorganisms exist during treatment. It can be seen that the sterility of any product in a group of products that has been sterilized is
The sterility of this group of products cannot be guaranteed, but the sterility of this group of products can be determined based on the probability of microorganisms surviving on a product.
This document describes the requirements for ethylene oxide sterilization processes for medical devices. If these requirements are met, medical devices can be epoxy
Ethane sterilization properly kills microorganisms; in addition, it also ensures that the killing of microorganisms is reliable and repeatable, so that there is sufficient
Rationale Prediction. The probability of viable microorganisms on sterilized products is very low.
For the general requirements of quality management systems such as design and development, production, installation and service, see GB/T 19001-2016, and for special requirements, see
YY/T 0287-2017.These quality management system standards recognize that some processes in manufacturing are not
Sterilization is such a special process that requires inspection and testing to verify. Therefore, sterilization confirmation should be carried out before sterilization, and routine monitoring and equipment should be performed.
Ready for maintenance.
Implementing appropriate sterilization confirmation and accurately controlling the sterilization process are not the only reliable guarantees that the product is sterile and suitable for its intended use. Still need
Consider the following.
a) Microbiological status of the raw materials and/or components used;
b) Routine control and validation of cleaning and disinfection procedures for products;
c) Control of product manufacturing, assembly and packaging environments;
d) Control of equipment and processes;
e) Control of personnel and their hygiene;
f) Product packaging methods and packaging materials;
g) Storage conditions of the product.
Different types of contamination on the product to be sterilized can affect the effectiveness of the sterilization process. According to the manufacturer's instructions (see YY/T 0802-
2020), healthcare products that can be resterilized should be considered a special case. Although these products have been processed through the cleaning process, they may still contain
There are large amounts of contaminating microorganisms and residues of inorganic and/or organic contaminants. Therefore, during reprocessing, special attention should be paid to cleaning and disinfection

Sterilization of Health Care Products – Ethylene Oxide – Part 1.
Requirements for Development, Validation and Routine Control
of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices
1 Scope
This Part of GB 18279 specifies requirements for the development, validation and routine
control of an ethylene oxide sterilization process for medical devices.
NOTE 1.Although the scope of this Part is limited to medical devices, it specifies requirements and
provides guidance that may be applicable to other health care products.
Sterilization processes validated and controlled in accordance with the requirements of this Part
are not assumed to be effective in inactivating the causative agents of spongiform
encephalopathies such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeld Jacob
disease. Specific recommendations have been produced in particular countries for the
processing of materials potentially contaminated with these agents.
NOTE 2.See for example YY/T 0771.1, YY/T 0771.2 and YY/T 0771.3.
This Part does not detail a specified requirement for designating a medical device as sterile.
NOTE 3 Attention is drawn to national or regional requirements for designating medical devices as
“sterile”. See for example EN 556-1 or ANSI/AAMI ST67.
This Part does not specify a quality management system for the control of all stages of
production of medical devices.
NOTE 4.The effective implementation of defined and documented procedures is necessary for the
development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. Such
procedures are commonly considered to be elements of a quality management system. It is not a
requirement of this Part to have a complete quality management system during manufacture or
reprocessing, but the elements of a quality management system that are the minimum necessary to control
the sterilization process are normatively referenced at appropriate places in the text (see in particular
Clause 4). National and/or regional regulations for the provision of medical devices might require
implementation of a complete quality management system and the assessment of that system by a third
party.
This Part does not specify requirements for occupational safety associated with the design and
operation of ethylene oxide sterilization facilities.
NOTE 5.For further information on safety, see examples in the Bibliography. National or regional
regulations may also exist.
NOTE 6.Ethylene oxide is toxic, flammable and explosive. Attention is drawn to the possible existence
in some countries of regulations giving safety requirements for handling ethylene oxide and for premises
in which it is used.
This Part does not cover sterilization by injecting ethylene oxide or mixtures containing
ethylene oxide directly into individual product packages, or continuous sterilization processes.
This Part does not cover analytical methods for determining levels of residual ethylene oxide
and/or its reaction products.
NOTE 7.For further information see ISO 10993-7.
NOTE 8.Attention is drawn to the possible existence of regulations specifying limits for the level of
ethylene oxide residues present on or in medical devices and products.
