Inspecting Tyvek® Lidded Trays

Porous lidded trays play a vital role in medical device packaging, offering sterilization compatibility and secure containment. However, their integrity can be compromised by defects such as open seals, cold seals, and occlusions—issues often exacerbated by sterilization processes like steam or Ethylene Oxide (EO). These failures create leak paths that expose devices to contamination, posing serious risks to patient safety. To address these challenges, advanced inspection methods are essential. Vacuum decay technology stands out as the only non-destructive, quantitative, and deterministic approach capable of detecting defects as small as 50 microns. Recognized under ASTM F2338 and ISO 11607 standards, this method ensures reliable quality control and compliance.
