1. A circuit protection device for protection of sensitive components during high energy radiation sterilization, the device comprising;

  • a support substrate that supports the sensitive components;

    a protective housing that is hermetically coupled to the support substrate to seal the sensitive components within the protective housing;

    wherein the protective housing stops high energy used in the high energy radiation sterilization from damaging the sensitive components from a predetermined exposure level of high energy sterilization; and

    an energy absorbing material contained within an area sealed by the protective housing to absorb high energy byproducts produced by the protective housing stopping the high energy used in the high energy sterilization.
