71. The Benefits Of Prototyping When Manufacturing Medical Devices 6/13/2022

    Prototyping is essential when developing a new medical device or component. In fact, it is crucial throughout the manufacturing process in general, and key when bringing a new medical device to market. It might be even more important for medical devices, in some regards.    

72. Using Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) For Medical Device Manufacturing 6/13/2022

    Within the world of medical device manufacturing, liquid injection molding (LIM) is a process that provides several benefits over other methods. Product strength and reduced weight, all while being more cost effective than some other alternatives, and still producing an end product within the set parameters of the device and regulatory bodies are some of those benefits.

73. The Benefits Of Design For Manufacturability 6/13/2022

    Manufacturability describes the degree to which a product can be effectively manufactured, given its design, cost, and distribution requirements. However, it’s a part of the entire process of bringing a new component or medical device to market. 

74. The Importance Of Medical Device Packaging 6/13/2022

    When designing or considering the manufacturing process for a medical device, there’s an element that often gets left until the last minute; packaging. The right packaging used can reduce costs, potentially optimize the sterilization processes, and aid in the manufacturing process.

75. When Does Automated Assembly Make Sense? 6/13/2022

    To mitigate costs, timeliness, and other factors, in order to produce a safe, effective, innovate medical device means assembly has to be part of the concept phase, to determine if full automation is the solution. 

76. Biological Indicators And The European Pharmacopoeia 5/10/2022

    Here, we review the information concerning biological indicators in European Pharmacopoeia General Chapter 5.1.2, which is more detailed and covers a wider scope than the previous version.

77. Why Biological Indicators Survive A Validated Cycle 5/10/2022

    We review what to do should you ever find yourself in the situation where the probes indicate conditions that would render killed BIs, yet the units are testing positive.

78. Flexible, Modular Manufacturing When One Size Doesn't Fit All 5/5/2022

    Current drug delivery devices need to be more mobile, less intrusive, and cost-competitive. Learn how flexible, modular manufacturing aims to solve these challenges.

79. Biological Indicators For Vapor Hydrogen Peroxide Isolator Decontamination 4/20/2022

    We highlight vapor hydrogen peroxide (VH₂O₂) biological indicators (BIs) including necessary physical characteristics of the BI unit, BI types, proper BI placement, and challenges encountered.

80. A Guide To Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Isolator Decontamination 4/20/2022

    This field guide uses current published resources to provide clarity and direction regarding best practices for validating decontamination processes using VH₂O₂.
