Package Validation Testing Requirements

Package Validation Testing is vital to ensure integrity of the package’s seal.

Validation will provide assurance and security that a package is sealed properly, leak-free, and secure from any number of outside contaminants.

Accelerated aging should take place after the integrity of the product and package has been determined.

The main culprit for feeble package strength is the seal-sealing parameters. If a formal validation of the sealer is not carried out, the medical device manufacturer can expect failure. Packages may also lose their integrity during processing and / or distribution. Package Validation Testing may be used to validate that the package integrity has been maintained throughout the package’s processing, expected shelf life, and handling.
