Continuous Glucose Monitors

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) have transformed diabetes management by providing real-time glucose tracking without frequent fingerstick tests. These devices rely on sterile packaging to maintain safety and performance, as contamination or compromised seals can lead to serious health risks. Common packaging defects, such as cold seals, channel leaks, and microleaks, are often undetectable through visual inspection alone. Advanced technologies like Vacuum Decay and Airborne Ultrasound offer precise, non-destructive solutions for identifying these vulnerabilities. Vacuum Decay detects leaks by monitoring pressure changes in a sealed environment, while Airborne Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to reveal inconsistencies in seals and materials. Together, these methods ensure package integrity during manufacturing and post-sterilization, safeguarding product sterility and patient health.
