ISO 11138-1:2017 specifies general requirements for production, labelling, test methods and performance characteristics of biological indicators, including inoculated carriers and suspensions, and their components, to be used in the validation and routine monitoring of sterilization processes. ISO 11138-1:2017 specifies basic and common requirements that are applicable to all parts of ISO 11138. Requirements for biological indicators for particular specified processes are provided in the relevant parts of ISO 11138. If no specific subsequent part is provided, this document applies. NOTE National or regional regulations can apply. ISO 11138-1:2017 does not apply to microbiological test systems for processes that rely on physical removal of microorganisms, e.g. filtration processes or processes that combine physical and/or mechanical removal with microbiological inactivation, such as use of washer disinfectors or flushing and steaming of pipelines. This document, however, can contain elements relevant to such microbiological test systems.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 11138-1:2017 - Sterilization of health care products: Biological indicators - Part 1: General requirements defines the basic, common requirements for biological indicators (BIs) used in the validation and routine monitoring of sterilization processes. The standard covers production, labelling, test methods and performance characteristics for inoculated carriers, suspensions and their components. It applies when no later part of ISO 11138 specifically addresses a particular sterilization process. Note: national or regional regulations can also apply. The document does not cover microbiological test systems for purely physical removal processes (e.g., filtration), though some elements may be relevant.

Key topics and requirements

Manufacturing controls and quality systems: requirements for quality management, traceability, personnel and finished-product controls to ensure consistent BI production.
Test organism and population: specifications for organism strain, originating inoculum, and nominal population (CFU) used in BIs.
Performance characteristics: methods and criteria for determining BI resistance (e.g., D value and related survivor-kill response characteristics). Annexes describe D value determination methods (survivor curve and fraction-negative) and viable count procedures.
BI formats and packaging: requirements for inoculated carriers, primary/secondary packaging, self-contained biological indicators and process challenge devices (PCDs).
Labelling and information: mandatory data manufacturers must provide on BI labels for safe and traceable use.
Storage, transport and stability: conditions to maintain BI viability and reliability during distribution and storage.
Culture and incubation: validated culture conditions, growth media, incubation equipment, incubation times and software validation for automated detection systems.
Test methods and annexes: normative annexes cover viable count, growth inhibition by carriers/packaging, D value methods and survival-kill response characteristics.

Practical applications and users

ISO 11138-1:2017 is used for:

Sterilization validation and routine monitoring in hospitals, medical device manufacturing and contract sterilization facilities.
Quality assurance (QA) and regulatory compliance by manufacturers of biological indicators and sterilization service providers.
Microbiology laboratories performing BI population, resistance and incubation testing.
Design and selection of process challenge devices (PCDs) and self-contained BIs for steam, EO, radiation and other sterilization processes (where covered by other ISO 11138 parts).

Keywords: ISO 11138-1:2017, biological indicators, sterilization validation, sterilization monitoring, D value, inoculated carriers, medical device sterilization, process challenge device.
