Bringing Testing to the Sealing Level

Seal testing is performed in the operation and performance qualification steps of validation. For PQ, ISO 11607 Part 2 says that three consecutive successful production runs are typically evaluated at the established sealing parameters. Manufacturers determine the frequency of subsequent in-process seal testing based on risk assessment considerations.

“One of the biggest problems we see is that companies are not testing enough,” says Charlie Webb, certified packaging professional, Van der Stahl Scientific Inc. (Wrightwood, CA).

RF-Tagged Fixtures Keep Tray Sealers Up and Running

Tray sealer manufacturers are using RFID to ensure trays are sealed at their validated parameters.

Distinct sealing recipe identities are coded to RF tags fixed to each tool. The tags are read by RF reader antenna in the sealing chamber when the fixture is shuttled in.

The fixture identifies itself to the sealer. If the fixture ID doesn’t match the recipe selected for sealing, the sealer will not cycle.
