Organized by: ComplianceOnline
Invited Speakers:

Martin Byrne has over 25 years of experience in the areas of radiation, ethylene oxide, and radiation sterilization including both gamma and ebeam sterilization. He has provided sterilization support for both large, mature medical device manufacturers as well as small startup companies. Currently, he owns Sterilization Illustrated a consulting and training business that provides support in the area of sterilization, microbiology, and controlled environments. An introductory video can be found at his website, www.sterilizationillustrated.weebly.com that will provide further information about Martin.
