MEDICAL DEVICE BLISTER CARTONING

Unclear labeling or poorly packed product can endanger patients’ health and contribute to medical error which is why medical device manufacturers must pay special attention to their primary and secondary packaging solutions and equipment. Tishma Technologies’ high-speed medical device blister cartoners and case packers are built to overcome all packaging challenges medical device manufacturers are facing.

Sterile medical devices, mostly used in hospitals, are packed in blister packs with the lidding film that provides a peel-open feature. Careful and precise product handling during the secondary packaging process is crucial to preserve the integrity of primary packaging.

Instructions for use and patient booklets, important for the proper use of the device, also need to be carefully placed in a secondary carton, along with the product.

Labels that include adequate instructions for use, servicing instructions, adequate warnings and information necessary for the protection of users also need to be applied according to FDA’s Regulatory Requirements for Medical Devices. A good secondary packaging solution for medical device blisters should include labeling solution as well to achieve regulatory compliance.
