Since the advent of the Parenteral Drug Association's technical report on the validation of moist heat sterilization processes (PDA, 2007), it has been recognized that both the physical and the biological characteristics of a cycle should be included in the validation.
While some concepts of microbial lethality and microbial validation are presented in this book, the focus of the book is the physical validation. Since the main physical parameter being evaluated is temperature, this is also known as thermal validation.
The various authors cited in this book have a wealth of practical experience in thermal validation of moist heat sterilization processes that has been incorporated into their writing.
This book is an essential guide and reference for managers, supervisors and all others concerned with preparing validation plans acceptable to regulators worldwide.
