Medistri’s Medical Device Regulation Certification

The MDR (Medical Device Regulation) certification for sterile kits refers to the regulatory requirements that apply to the manufacturing, distribution, and use of medical devices, including sterile kits, within the European Union. Sterile kits often consist of a combination of medical devices, instruments, or other items assembled into a single product for medical procedures. It sets forth requirements for the design, manufacture, and distribution of medical devices to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

Packaging

Rotational Drop Test

Rotational Drop Test is crucial as it evaluates a package’s ability to withstand shocks during shipping. It aids in improving package design, reducing costs associated with damaged goods, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and preventing over-packaging and under-packaging. It’s a key part of ensuring product safety and integrity during transportation.

Packaging

Low-Pressure Test

Low-Pressure Test is conducted to identify potential challenges and stresses that the packaging and the products it contains could be exposed to during air transportation. This test is particularly important for products and packages that could be sensitive to a low-pressure environment.

Packaging

Fork Handling Test

The validation of packaging stems from the need to ensure the quality of products across the many steps in your distribution cycle: from shipping to storage. It is indeed an increasingly common requirement for many product categories, including a strong emphasis on the packaging quality requirements for medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Packaging

Free Fall Drop Test

The ASTM-D5276 standard test method for drop test of loaded containers evaluates the capability of a container to withstand the sudden shock resulting from a free fall, or the capability of a container and its inner packing to protect its contents during the sudden shock resulting from a free fall.

Packaging

Atmospheric Preconditioning

Atmospheric preconditioning simulates the effects of different temperature and humidity levels on packages and products. It’s often used to evaluate the performance and durability of packaging materials and products under various environmental conditions.

Packaging

Peel Strength Test

Measuring the bond strength of materials is a key factor in determining the reliability and durability of many products. By ensuring the adhesive strength meets the required standards, manufacturers can enhance product quality, improve customer satisfaction, and prevent potential failures or malfunctions.

Packaging

Burst Test

The Burst Test, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in ISO 2758, is a globally recognized method for assessing the bursting strength of paper. This test, also known as the Mullen Test, is applicable to paper with bursting strengths ranging from 70 kPa to 1,400 kPa.

Packaging

Bubble Emissions Test

Bubble leak testing is an important method in the medical packaging industry to detect critical leaks within packaging. This test is particularly useful for validating the integrity of packages and bags, which is necessary to maintain a sterile environment for the contents. This test involves submerging the package or bag in water and applying a small amount of pressure to the package. The presence of a continuous stream of bubbles indicates a leak and therefore a breach of the sterile barrier.

Packaging

Seal Tensile Strength

Making sure that the sterilization is done correctly is one of the main priorities in the medical device and packaging industry. All medical packaging, whether it is a single-use product or intended for resterilization and reuse, must be strong enough to be easily opened by healthcare providers while ensuring product sterility. To ensure that packaging achieves this delicate balance, many manufacturers follow test standards such as ASTM F88 to measure the tensile strength of adhesives used in medical device packaging.
