Evaluating the resistance of medical device packaging to moisture and humidity

Ensuring the Integrity of Medical Device Packaging Evaluating Resistance to Moisture and Humidity

In the medical device industry, packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of products. One critical aspect of packaging evaluation is testing its resistance to moisture and humidity. This laboratory service, offered by Eurolab, enables manufacturers to assess their packagings ability to maintain product integrity under various environmental conditions.

The Importance of Evaluating Moisture and Humidity Resistance

Medical device packaging must withstand exposure to moisture and humidity without compromising the products safety or effectiveness. Inadequate packaging can lead to a range of issues, including

Degradation of materials Excessive moisture can cause plastic and other packaging materials to degrade, potentially releasing contaminants into the product.

Microbial growth Moist environments can facilitate microbial growth on packaging surfaces, contaminating products and posing health risks.

Packaging failure Packaging may fail under high-humidity conditions, leading to compromised seals or structural integrity.

To mitigate these risks, manufacturers must evaluate their packagings resistance to moisture and humidity. This process involves testing various aspects of the packaging, including material selection, design, sealing methods, and storage conditions.
