Production of Process Challenge Devices in eo sterilization
A Process Challenge Device (PCD) is a microbiological challenge system used to evaluate the kill rate of selected process parameters. It is typically a device or test package containing biological indicators (e.g., Bacillus atrophaeus spores with known spore count). The resistance of the PCD to the sterilization process should be greater than or equal to the resistance of the natural microbial load in the most difficult-to-sterilize area of the product. The quantity of PCDs should meet the requirements outlined in Table C.3 of Appendix C in GB18279.1-2015. PCDs are classified into Internal PCDs (IPCD) and External PCDs (EPCD).
