This Technical Information Report (TIR) covers the selection and use of chemical sterilizing
agents (except for ethylene oxide) that have been cleared for marketing by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). Topics specifically addressed include the general safety and performance
characteristics of chemical sterilants and high-level disinfectants; the basic types of chemical
sterilants/high-level disinfectants and chemical sterilization techniques; the mechanisms by which
manufacturers obtain FDA clearance for the marketing of their products; and questions that users
should ask of manufacturers when choosing a product for use on a particular medical device.
The TIR also provides general guidance on the use of chemical sterilants and high-level
disinfectants, as well as a glossary, a bibliography, and informative annexes.
