Other Sterilants. Sterilization methods, developed in response to the requirements of a low temperature, noncorrosive stedlant and rapid turnaround time required by most hospitals, include use of hydrogen peroxide vapor, hydrogen peroxide plasma, and peroxy acetic acid. Acceptance of these methods was not universal as of this writing (ca 1996).

All production processes, such as ampoule washing and sterilization, solution filtration, equipment set-up and operation, sorting, and freeze-drier cleaning and operation, should be covered in detail in a procedure manual to ensure that all operations are understood as well as carried out properly and uniformly. Cleaning, sterilization, sterile filtration, filling, and aseptic processing operations must be validated. 

One can see by the complexity of these types of manufacturing procedures that much care and attention to detail must be maintained by the manufacturer. This sterile manufacturing procedure must then be validated to prove that no more than 3 containers in a lot of 3000 containers (0.1%) are nonsterile. Ultimately, it is the manufacturer s responsibility to ensure the safety and efficacy of the manufacturing process and the absence of any adverse effect on the product, such as the possible formation of substances toxic to the eye, an ever-present possibility with gas sterilization or when using ionizing radiation. For ophthalmic products sterilized by terminal sterilization (sterilization in the final sealed container, e.g., steam under pressure), the sterilization cycle must be validated to ensure sterility at a probability of 106 or greater. 

Particular attention should be paid to nonstandard production technologies including nonstandard methods of sterilization, sterile filtration and aseptic processing, lyophilization, microencapsulation, and certain critical mixing and coating operations. With such processes pilot-scale manufacture may not be predictive of industrial scale manufacture, and data on three full-scale production batches may be required in the application. 

Sterility. Sterility is largely a concern to be answered in the process of preparing a final clinical formulation, and it is not addressed in detail in this chapter. However, it should be clear that it is essential that no viable microorganisms are present in any material to be parenterally administered (except for vaccines).

Section Val. 1900 includes four aseptic processes associated with monitoring and qualification programs covering determination of components bioburden before sterilization sterility test failure investigation, bacterial endotoxin determination in WFI, in-process finished product, and monitoring the bioburden, spore bioburden, and endotoxin present on stoppers and unprocessed vials.

Regarding the components of bulk fermentation processes, the strain of the organism used to manufacture the drug substance for the clinical study should be compared with the strain to be used in commercial production. Strain identification includes microbiological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics. A comparison of the media composition and method of sterilization, sterilization parameters, and the pH of the medium after sterilization should be done. All fermentation stages, parameters, and conditions should be described in detail (i.e., temperature, pH) and documented.

Two types of regulatory approvals exist for medical devices in the United States, 510(k) notification and premarket approval (PMA). The types of tests required for approval depend on the classification of the medical device. 510(k) notification involves marketing a device that is substantially equivalent to a device on the market prior to 1976. All devices introduced after 1976 that are not substantially equivalent to devices on the market before 1976 are automatically classified as Class 3 devices and require PMA (16). For a device fo be considered subsfantially equivalenf to a device on the market before 1976, it must have the same intended use, no new technological characteristics, and have the same performance as one or more devices on the market prior to 1976. In addition, all medical devices must be sterilized either by end-sterilization or by some other acceptable means that can be validated, which means that any test done in cell culture or in an animal model must be conducted on a device that has been validated to be sterile. Sterility validation is conducted on all medical devices as described in the literature (17). 

Sterilization. Sterilization is carried out by placing the sterilizer cages in horizontal vessels at a steam pressure of 3 kg/cm (143°C) and the time under steam is approximately 60 min. The objectives of sterilization are ...

Sterilization. Sterility Is a necessary requirement for all membrane devices used clinically, and the sterilization procedure must not change the functional or blocompatlble character of the device. Sterility, the condition of absolute absence of viable life forms, can be achieved by physical (heat. Irradiation) or chemical means. Chemicals used to sterilize membrane devices may be either gaseous (ethylene oxide) or liquid (formaldehyde, peroxides, hypochlorite) In nature. The generally accepted... 

Sterility. Sterility indicates the absence of any viable bacteria or microorganisms in a radiopharmaceutical preparation. All radiopharmaceuticals must be sterile prior to administration to humans, and it is normally accomplished by filtering the product through a 0.22-pm membrane filter or heating the sample to 120°C for 20 min at a pressure of 18 pounds per square inch. PET radiopharmaceuticals are normally sterilized by filtration because of their short half-life.
