Title: Gamma to X-ray Conversions for sterilization of Healthcare Products
Abstract: Sterilization of healthcare products are well documented with Radiation Technologies (Gamma X-ray and E Beam). Significant guidance is available in published standards, seminars and other publications that make validation of dose, and in most cases easy to document and support. The most widely used historically has been gamma with a smaller percentage of E Beam. As processing capacity needs grow and assurance of supplies of critical products are under pressure, X-ray has become a greater consideration. X-ray has long been an option, but access globally was not always available. As availability is growing, we will discuss why X-ray is a viable alternative or addition to a sterilization portfolio, show how gamma and X-ray compare (similarities and differences), and the basics of how converting from gamma to X-ray is achieved.
