Abstract
A single use probe, sterilizable by irradiation, for a single use component for use in a biopharmaceutical process, comprises at least one sensor relevant for the biopharmaceutical process, an RFID tag and a memory rewritable in principle, in which data with respect to an integrity check of the single use probe are stored. A method for quality assurance of such a single use probe comprises: providing the probe with an RFID tag and a memory rewritable in principle, in particular a FeRAM memory as part of the RFID tag; defining a measurement-principle-specific quality parameter of the single use probe; defining a tolerance value for the parameter; performing an integrity check of the probe by first determining and writing into the memory values of the defined quality parameter before sterilization of the probe by irradiation; determining the values of the defined quality parameter after irradiation; and comparing the values of the quality parameter determined before radiation to those determined after.
