2019 Midwest Medical Device Sterilization Workshop: Summary Report
- Fermilab
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory, and industry partners convened a September 18-19, 2019 Midwest Medical Device Sterilization Workshop to collect stakeholder feedback and develop recommendations to advance the adoption of accelerator-based electron beam (E-beam) and X-ray radiation sterilization technology. Medical device sterilization approaches that presently serve 85% of the existing market are considered “at-risk” by the industry, including gamma radiation sterilization. Uncertainties about the future viability of these existing approaches may constrain projected growth in the medical device sterilization industry and affect the near-term availability of safe and sterile products.
