Hi Sue,
The latest AAMI ST 79, Section 8.9.3 and 10.3.3.
Addresses expiration and event related sterility.
ST 40, section 5.9.4
Also ST41 under section 6.12.5 and 7.2.3.
Basicly reads if event related, only a sterilization date is necessary, if policy or item is date related, an expiration date is also required.
Hope this helps!
