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
▪ 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.
Weekly
Check the seal seam with
resources
Perform a visual control using MELAG Seal Check
and document the results (e.g. using the
MELAconnect app) – for criteria and further
information, see the MELAG Seal Check operating
manual.
Annually
Check the seal seam for
tear-resistance in
accordance with
DIN EN 868-5, Appendix D
MELAG seal seam stability test
