Ethylene Oxide Sterilization for Medical Devices
Upcoming Virtual Course
Overview
This highly interactive 3.5-day, advanced course assumes that participants are experienced in working with an established ethylene oxide sterilization process but are now challenged with ensuring the continued effectiveness and assessing change for the product or process. The program combines classroom lecture with real-life scenarios to illustrate concepts and situational analyses that provide participants with the opportunity to apply what they learn to actual sterilization scenarios.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- improve development and routine turn-around time
- make changes to product, equipment, process, and sterilizer location
- determine if validation or requalification is necessary
- troubleshoot cycle anomalies
- optimize the sterilization process.
What to expect
A combination of situation analyses, case study exercises, and both formal and informal discussions are used throughout the program to provide maximum opportunity for the application of information.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for professionals that have responsibility for making decisions related to the ethylene oxide sterilization process such as introduction of new/modified products, sterilization process improvements, failure investigation, requalification, and validation. AAMI recommends this course for those who are experienced in working with an established ethylene oxide sterilization process and NOT professionals that are new to ethylene oxide sterilization.
Materials
Fee includes presentations, pertinent FDA documents, additional references, and case studies.
Virtual Training Information
Our virtual training environment allows you to have direct interaction with your instructors and your fellow attendees. AAMI uses Zoom for virtual classes. You can test your connectivity and ability to use Zoom at zoom.us/test.
For virtual training courses, we request that you register at least one week in advance of the course start date to allow sufficient time for shipping of training materials and devices (Please allow two weeks for non-U.S. addresses). If you register within these time frames, AAMI cannot guarantee you will receive material prior to the start of the course but you will have access to digital versions of the materials.
