Popis: Abstract Background Low temperature vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization (VH2O2) is used in hospitals today to sterilize reusable medical devices. VH2O2 sterilized 3D printed materials were evaluated for sterilization, biocompatibility and material compatibility. Materials & methods Test articles were printed at Formlabs with BioMed Clear™ and BioMed Amber™, and at Stratasys with MED610™, MED615™ and MED620™. Sterilization, biocompatibility and material compatibility studies with 3D printed materials were conducted after VH2O2 sterilization in V-PRO™ Sterilizers. The overkill method was used to evaluate sterilization in a ½ cycle. Biocompatibility testing evaluated the processed materials as limited contact (
