The draft E DIN EN 13060:2002-05 specifies requirements for small steam sterilizers for medical applications and defines test methods, performance characteristics, and safety aspects.

The draft E DIN EN 285:2002-12 describes requirements for large steam sterilizers for use in healthcare and in the manufacture of medical products.

Cooling and drying sterilization items correctly is crucial to maintaining sterility and ensuring the safe storage and reuse of medical instruments and liquids.

Strict requirements for temperature, pressure and material resistance as well as for the preparation and execution of the process are essential for the safe and effective sterilization of medical instruments and materials.

Here you will find a brief explanation of the respective sterilization methods.

The following process describes the individual steps of validating a sterilization process according to applicable standards.

The challenge with sterilization is that the result cannot be measured.

In medicine and biotechnology, a sterilizer that uses hot, saturated steam to kill microorganisms is referred to as an autoclave.
