Do orthopedic implants need to be double packaged?
Nested Trays
Double barrier thermoformed trays that nest into each other. Each tray will be sealed with Tyvek.
There is no regulatory requirement for double packaging orthopedic implants but there are several factors and requirements of ISO 11607-1 that influence the decision. Section 6.2.2 requires that the medical device package allow the product to be presented in an aseptic manner. While this does not require a double package design, some surgeons prefer to have a “belt and suspenders” approach where the inner package prevents any unnecessary contact while sitting in the sterile field. Additionally, many circulation nurses prefer the ability to transfer the device to the sterile field without waiting for someone in the field to take it out of the package. A double package design can facilitate this - often called “dumping,” “throwing,” or “dropping,” by OR nurses. Additionally, the standard section 6.1.1 requires that the package protect the safety of the user and patient. Some medical device implants have sharp features that may make a double package design desired. Lastly, the issue may come down to surgeon preference.
How do you validate medical device packaging?
Pre-validated, Double Barrier Packaging
Pre-validated nested double barrier packaging with custom urethane insert.
Packaging validation is complex. There are several processes that must be completed
- The manufacturing process to produce the packaging’s sterile barrier system must be validated. This requires an Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) to be conducted on the manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging performance testing must be completed. This includes manufacturing and sterilizing under worst-case conditions and subjecting the packaging system to simulated distribution testing.
- A stability study must be completed and is typically done with both accelerated and real-time aging studies.
- Both the performance testing and stability study require tests for seal integrity and seal strength as well as an evaluation of product protection.
Does J-Pac perform post-thermoforming customization of medical grade trays?
Catheter Tray Package
A surgical catheter packaged in a thermoformed tray. The tray was designed with a clear lid that snaps into place. The customer wanted the tray to be pouched.
Thermoformed medical device packaging trays are customized to incorporate various types of venting to support lyopholization processes and/or Eto processing of resorbable polymers. Additionally, reverse flanges can be provided for large trays that are designed to accommodate heavy materials.
