    Hi All,
    What is the most basic level of validation that could be used for sterilisation processes? I am looking for advice for a low resource setting not in Australia. Access to many of the things we take for granted in Australia is limited. Materials need to be stable in hot and humid conditions and able to be air freighted. Access to power is intermittent. Any thoughts and suggestions gratefully received.
    Cheers Matt

    I aspire to achieve a sensible work-life balance: I don’t expect a reply to this email from you outside of your normal working hours. Similarly please expect the same from me.

    I acknowledge the homelands of all First Nations Peoples and pay my respect to the traditional custodians whose ancestral lands I work and live on.

    Hi Matt

    I’m not really a sterilizing expert anymore, but I assume you are asking about sterilization using steam under pressure?

    If that is the case, process validation would be the most approriate solution. Temperature and pressure monitoring over time.
