What is Validation?
Packaging validation is a total process involving the identification and control of materials and processing variables that affect the ability of a packaged device to meet its acceptance requirements
For instance, for sterilized medical packaging, you are required to monitor various factors such as temperature and power at which the product is sealed. It is then necessary to record this data as proof that the medical devices or pharmaceuticals have been safely packaged.
Benefits of Validatable Packaging Equipment
Using a validatable sealing machine gives you maximum control of various seal parameters such as seal time, seal temperature and seal pressure, making each seal 100% reliable. This in turn, creates financial benefits because of reduced manual inspection, increased output, fewer complaints, and minimized scrap and rework.
