Frequency Check: Measures
Daily before operation Making and checking a
test seal seam Visual check:
▪ The seal seam should be distinct and even and
not contain any creases or defects.
▪ The colour of the seal seam should be identical
with the works seal seam (industrial seam).
▪ The seal seam may not be too light or brown (too
light: Sealing temperature and/or contact
pressure (sealing force) too low; brown sealing
temperature too high or sealing duration too
long).
Mechanical check:
▪ Tear-resistance check: the strength required to
open the seal seam must be exactly equal to that
required to open the works-side seam, i.e.
industrial seam, see
Performing the peel test
[
}
page 36].
▪ During peeling, the paper should free itself from
the film, leaving almost no residue.
Following every
sterilization Batch-related seal seam
check ▪ Control the entire packaging for dryness and
integrity.
▪ Clearance after sterilization, documentation within
the scope of process approval.
▪ Check for dryness and integrity once again,
before using the instruments.
