The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) announces that a donation from Johnson & Johnson has enabled AAMI to make available the proceedings from a prestigious series of conferences on sterilization of medical products held between 1976 and 2003. The information from the Kilmer Conferences covers a wide range of topics including environmental controls and validation challenges.
The proceedings from the Kilmer Conferences have been published in eight separate volumes. Topics include: environmental controls in manufacturing, the importance of bioburden in sterile processing, pyrogen testing, ethylene oxide sterilization, regulatory considerations, gamma sterilization, and validation challenges. Presenters at the conferences came from a variety of backgrounds, both nationally and internationally. J&J also has donated two volumes of material on sterilization by ionizing radiation.
