Part B: Supplementary Information Sheet (SIS)
FR Recognition List Number 060 Date of Entry 05/29/2023 
FR Recognition Number 14-588
Standard
AAMI  TIR17:2017/(R)2020
Compatibility of materials subjected to sterilization
Scope/Abstract
This technical information report provides guidance for health care product manufacturers in the qualification of polymeric materials, ceramics, and metals for use in health care products that are sterilized by the following modalities: a) radiation (gamma, electron beam, or x-ray); b) ethylene oxide; c) moist heat (steam); d) dry heat; e) hydrogen peroxide; f) nitrogen dioxide, g) peracetic acid vapor, h) liquid peracetic acid, and i) hydrogen peroxide-ozone. Annexes address the specific sterilization modality concerns.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of AAMI TIR17:2017/(R)2020 [Rec# 14-588] will be superseded by recognition of AAMI TIR17:2024 [Rec# 14-609]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 14-588] until December 19, 2027. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 14-588] will not be accepted.
