Comparative studies on the novel sterilisation of Irish retailed infant milk formula using electron beam and pulsed light treatments.
McFadden, Emily; Costa Ramos, Ana-Luisa; Bradley, Derek; Vrain, Olivier; McEvoy, Brian; Rowan, Neil J. (IJSET, 2016)This constitutes the first study to compare use of electron beam (EB) irradiation and pulsed light (PL) for novel sterilisation of infant mik formula retailed in Ireland. The microbiological quality of 60 powdered infant ... -
Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus atrophaeus spores exhibit linear inactivation kinetic performance when treated with an industrial scale vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization process
McEvoy, Brian; Maksimovic, Ana; Rowan, Neil J. (Wiley, 2022)Many medical devices are supplied as sterile for safe patient care (McEvoy and Rowan 2019). The global sterilization services market is projected to reach USD 5.5 billion by 2026, growing at a compound annual growth rate ... -
Studies on the comparative effectiveness of x-rays, gamma rays and electron beams to inactivate microorganisms at different dose rates in industrial sterilization of medical devices
McEvoy, Brian; Maksimovic, Ana; Howell, Daniel; Reppert, Pierre; Ryan, Damien; Rowan, Neil J.; Hervé, Michel (Elsevier, 2023-03-17)The radiation resistance of Bacillus pumilus spores to gamma rays, X-rays, and electron beam (e-beam) was investigated using industrial irradiators operating at various dose rates. The dose rates were as follows: gamma ... -
Terminal sterilization of medical devices using vaporized hydrogen peroxide: a review of current methods and emerging opportunities.
McEvoy, Brian; Rowan, Neil J. (Wiley, 2019-08)Medical devices are an important and growing aspect of healthcare provision and are increasing in complexity to meet established and emerging patient needs. Terminal sterilization plays a vital role in the provision of ...
