Cutting edge electronics and materials technologies in implantable sensor systems challenge available sterilisation technologies. Selecting and verifying a sterilisation method for patient safety and regulatory requirements cannot compromise sensor system performance. To make the selection, the engineer must have a comprehensive appreciation of how thermal, chemical, pressure and radiation energy effects and cycle times could affect the materials in the sensor system electronics, surface treatments and base materials of the implant. These constraints must all be accomplished within the ...
