    Hi All,

    In relation to FDA requirements, where in any regulations or standards does it state that for novel products you must perform a full method C sterilisation validation for EtO, and cannot validate via the adoption method?

    Regards,

    Jo

    Hi, unfortunately I don't have access to the latest standards, but I would take a look at AAMI TIR 28 (Product adoption and process equivalence for ethylene oxide sterilization). This may be of help.

    Thank you Chris, but I have a copy of AAMI TIR 28 and can't find anything that states you need to perform a full EtO sterilisation validation for a novel device, unless I've missed it or it's written in a way I can't understand.
