VIII. Installation Qualification (IQ)

According to the requirements of GB/T19633.2-2015/ISO11607-2:2006 for sealing quality,we should use test cards to perform the installation identification (IQ).

Installation test means that the machine has to take a validation of performance before it is put into use.

The sealing quality is related to the sealing temperature,pressure and speed. All these parameters should be adjusted in view of reels produced by different companies so as to reach certain sealing quality.

The parameters of the machine,such as sealing temperature and pressure, can be noticeably shown on the testing area of test cards.

Note:For a better examination and record for the installation identification result, our Easyseal test cards are highly recommended

According to ISO11607-2,the sealing strip has to meet the following requirements:

Continuous and complete.

Sealing width≥6mm.

No channel or unsealing area.

No perforation or torn parts.

No material layering or separation.

After the detection of low temperature and high temperature test cards, it is necessary to use the sealing strength tester to test sealing strength. The test will determine whether the sealing strength can meet the requirements before and after the sterilization process.

X. Seal Operations

1. According to WS310.1-2016(9.8:Packaging Material,Part I:Management Code

of Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD)) and Chapter II Sealable Materials of this manual, users should choose suitable paper-plastic or paper-paper packaging reels.

In addition, users need to check the sealing strength of both sides of a reel before use.

2. Adjustment of the Guide Plate: Located at the left side of the machine,the guide plate can be moved within a range of 0~35mm.Counterclockwise loosen the nut until the guide plate can be moved back and forth. To move the guide plate outward will make the sealing line close to the edge of the pouch; while to move it inward will make the sealing line away from the edge of the pouch (see Figure 2). After the adjustment is completed, clockwise turn the nut until the guide plate is firmly fixed.

3. According to the size of the medical instrument to be packaged, select suitable sterilization reels. Put medical instruments in pouches and seal the other side with the machine.In accordance with the relevant provisions of WS310.2-2016, the distance between the sealing line and the

instrument inside the pouch should be more than 2.5cm, which has to be considered when setting up the cutting length.

4.When placing medical instruments into pouches, please pay attention to the following items: a. Properly put specially-shaped and sharp items in pouches and use protective sheaths for them if it's necessary; b. Medical

instruments should be placed into pouches with proper sizes to avoid over-pressure, and their volume should not exceed 75% volume of pouches to prevent any breakage during sterilization and ensure their safety in use.

5. After a medical instrument is put into a pouch, make the pouch be fed into the machine along the guide plate at the left side of the machine with the paper surface downward.Then the driving mechanism will start working automatically.

6. How to make sure the sealing edge is straight, smooth and parallel with the edge of the pouch, when no roller worktable is equipped: Hold each end of a pouch with your hands, and flatten the section of the pouch to be fed into the sealer; Prior to sealing, the opening (edge) of the pouch should be parallel with the machine; The pouch should be supported by your hand to ensure right movement direction, after the driving mechanism is switched on. With the pouch completely fed into the machine, the operator should hold the medical instrument inside the pouch until the sealing work is over.

Note:For higher sealing efficiency, please choose the ultra silent roller worktable or multipurpose sealing workstation.

7. To improve efficiency,preparation is needed. Make sure paper plastic pouch should be fed into the machine parallel to it.

8. Remove all the sealed pouches after sealing and let them cool down naturally.

Suggestion: Because the material used by paper-plastic pouch (paper-paper pouch) manufacturers are different , test cards or test pouches should be used to test thesealing effect and the dedicated tester should be used to verify the sealing strength.In addition,suitable sealing temperature should be confirmed to ensure sealing quality. Sealing temperatures differ because of different types and thickness of materials used to produce pouches.

To ensure better sealing result, please choose the pouches which are in

accordance with the National standards (It is suggested that you purchase Easyseal reels and high/low-temperature sealing test cards or pouches.)

What is Self Seal Sterilization Pouches

  self seal sterilization pouches  is carried out in hospitals and medical or surgical sterilization manufacturing plants. Most packaging must be sterile when delivered to the end user. Medical self seal sterilization pouches provides protective envelopes for sterilization to protect against sterilization during disinfection, transportation, storage and delivery to the final home. Medical self seal sterilization pouches can assemble and secure several sterilization items required for a given surgical procedure and be ready for operation.   The term "sterilization" covers a wide range of products. A cotton ball, a cotton swab, and a tongue spatula are examples of "treatable products." Use them once and throw them away." Use once is not a synonym for cheap. Some very expensive sterilizations, such as dialysis filters, are themselves too fragile to be cleaned and reused after sterilization. To save costs, reuse is desirable. Most medical sterilization, such as sci
