title = "The Basis of the Danish Choice of Dose for Radiation Sterilization of Disposable Equipment",
abstract = "This report describes the basis of radiation sterilization of medical utensils in Denmark and of the choice of dose for sterilization at Ris{\o} of disposable equipment of dry plastic. The possibilities of establishing general criteria for efficient sterilization by comparison with autoclaving are dealt with. A description is given of the selection of test strains and test pieces for use in fixing the dose for sterilization of a particular.category of utensils and in controlling the microbiological effect of the irradiation. The possibilities of continuous control of disposable equipment based on counting of the micro-organisms present on the equipment prior to irradiation are discussed. Such day-to-day control must bo assumed to warrant a reduction of the routine dose below the minimum of 4.5 Mrad used in Denmark for dry plastic equipment. ",
