Pls clarify us if it is possible to sterilize in STERRAD analyzers orthopedic (metal) implants which first were exposed to Gamma radiation?

STERRAD Sterilizer Systems are not intended to be used for sterilization of implants.
Re-sterilization (using low temperature gas plasma or other technologies) of any item must be performed following the instructions provided by the original manufacturer of that item.
