Event Registration - Industrial Ethylene Oxide Sterilization for Medical Devices Workshop - August 2019

http://my.aami.org/aamiresources/images/events/901-Glebe.jpg
Start Date:
Tuesday, August 27, 2019
End Date:
Friday, August 30, 2019
Time:
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time

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. Some of the topics to be covered are: validation and requalification; validation reports, protocols, and documentation; product adoption; troubleshooting; process changes and process equivalency; product release methods; and optimization of sterilization process.

Registration Fees:

  • AAMI Members: $2335
  • Nonmembers: $2635
  • Government Employees: $950

Program Objective

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; and optimize the ethylene oxide sterilization process.

 

Target Audience

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.

 

Format

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.

 

Materials

Fee includes presentations, pertinent FDA documents, additional references, and case studies.
