Medical Packaging Regulations

Dyke, Denis G., Medical Packaging Validation Complying with the Quality System Regulation and ISO 11607, Medical Device and Diagnostics Industry, August 1998. [Pg.614]

In particular, PB and PMP are inert materials and usually present no health hazard. PMP is employed extensively for a number of medical and food packaging appHcations. Several grades conform to FDA regulations and to the health standards of other countries. Flammability of polyolefin resins is equal to that of PP, around 2.5 cm /min (ASTM D635). However, during combustion or pyrolysis, smoke, fumes, and toxic decomposition products are formed and can pose a health hazard. [Pg.432]

Apart from routine quality control actions, additive analysis is often called upon in relation to testing additive effectiveness as well as in connection with food packaging and medical plastics, where the identities and levels of potentially toxic substances must be accurately known and controlled. Food contact plastics are regulated by maximum concentrations allowable in the plastic, which applies to residual monomers and processing aids as well as additives [64-66]. Analytical measurements provide not only a method of quality control but also a means of establishing the loss of stabilisers as a function of material processing and product ageing. [Pg.14]

III. Use of prevalidated and standardized packages Because software used in the regulated pharmaceutical industries is classified as medical devices it is possible for a vendor of a system to register that package under the Safe Medical Devices Act. The registration process includes submission of Copyright 2003 Marcel Dekker, Inc. [Pg.193]

Colorant systems to be used in food contact, cosmetics, toys, pharmaceutical, and medical applications fall under various governmental regulations. The colorist needs to be familiar with these regulations and select colorants accordingly. Also, some states regulate the use of heavy metal pigments in packaging applications. [Pg.260]
