    In order to ensure the safety of users of the Nachsicht device, it will go through a series of rigorous testing to assess its biocompatibility and ability to be sterilized. As the materials used in the Nachsicht, polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) and graphene, have been used in other biomedical applications, the host response to the device is highly predictable. Various options for sterilizing the device will be assessed. The tests will be performed in vitro and in vivo before proceeding to clinical trials in order to submit for and gain FDA approval. In order to assure the quality of a device intended for surgical implementation, it must be sterilized—that is, deficient of all living microorganisms—using the most effective methods. While a device’s sterility is dependent on many factors such as hospital personnel, packaging manufacturers, and product fabricators, ensuring that the product is sterilized during the initial fabrication is of the utmost importance. The FDA has set the Sterilization Assurance Level (SAL) at 10-6, which represents the probability that one in one million products will not be sterile. This level must be reached through the sterilization process in order to gain approval. Terminal sterilization methods are preferred to aseptic processing; however, because of the use of PMMA in the Nachsicht, this proves difficult. One option for terminal sterilization is ethylene oxide sterilization. The temperature and humidity of an ethylene oxide cycle can…

    high pressure in an autoclave or pressure cooker: 121oC for 15 minutes at a pressure of 15 pounds per square inch is usually adequate. However, this method must not be used for sterilizing heat-labile substances such as antibiotics as they will either be denatured or destroyed. There are various designs of autoclaves. The most common is the pressure cooker type. This works on the principle that when the vapour pressure of a liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, liquid will boil. At 1…
