What is ISO 11607?
• Guidance document for validating terminally sterilized
medical devices
• FDA recognized
©2014, Westpak, Inc. 3
Do I need to use ISO 11607?
If you have a sterilized medical device, which must
perform efficiently, safely, and effectively in the hands of
the users.

ISO 11607 Part 1
• Specifies the basic attributes required of materials and
pre-formed systems intended for use in packaging
systems for terminally sterilized medical devices
• Sterile barrier system
•
•
•
•

Future Test Method Change
• Performance testing - ASTM D4169
• Truck and/or air vibration spectrum and duration
• Anticipated time frame 1-3 years from now

FDA Recognition (cont.)
• Currently, ISTA test procedures not recognized on their
website but we have customers who do use them and
do get FDA approval.
• We anticipate they will be recognized in the near future.
