The Iso dose setting method 1 uses bioburden and verification by sublethal sterility test. Current devices produced in clean environment have low bioburden, however, sensitivity of verification test declines at low bioburden. Validation of verification in this region should be further studied. A dose setting using D10 of bioburden isolates should be reevaluated and included in the ISO.
