There is an international consensus that every product to be sterilized, stored and transported should be packaged in carefully selected packaging to guarantee the care of the sterilized material.

A sterile medical device is one that is free from live microorganisms. International Standards specifying requirements for the validation and routine control of sterilization processes require that incidental microbiological contamination of a medical device from all sources be minimized when a sterile medical device has to be supplied.

However, medical devices produced under standard production conditions in accordance with the requirements of quality management systems may have microorganisms, albeit in small numbers, on them before sterilization. Such products are not sterile. The purpose of sterilization is to neutralize microbiological contaminants, thereby converting non-sterile products into sterile products.
