This collection of 38 documents has been updated to include nine new/ revised standards. It features new guidance for sterilization of single-use medical devices incorporating materials of animal origins (14160), requirements for products labeled "sterile" (ST67), dry heat sterilization of health care products (20857), radiation (11137-2), and more.

Whether using in-house or contract facilities, manufacturers that ship their products sterile should not be without this book.
