ASTM F 1980 -16 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices - QRA International Services

 

 

Medical Device Sterile Barrier Package Testing

Medical device packaging must maintain integrity over its claimed shelf-life under the storage conditions specified by the manufacturer. Real time aging programs provide the best data to ensure that packaging performance is maintained over the claimed shelf life, although due to time constraints in the product development process, QRA International also offers accelerated aging.

These 2 tests are run concurrently so as to provide accelerated aging results validated by real time benchmarks.

Shelf Life Testing

QRA International performs testing on products at specific intervals over real time storage to provide accurate shelf life conclusions. However, the drive to get new products to the market often means that accelerated aging tests are often run in conjunction with real time aging to validate the product shelf life claims.

  

 

 

  

Accelerated Aging Testing (ASTM F 1980 and ISO 11607-1)

Our experts will tailor an accelerated aging test program to your particular requirements. We perform benchmark testing on products from the same batch before simulated aging to allow comparative post-aging testing at specified time intervals; a testing process which includes burst tests, dye penetration assessments, and peel strength testing.

 

 

Standards Complied by QRA International’s Labs

QRA International performs accelerated aging according to ASTM F1980 “Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Medical Device Packaging” and BS EN 868-8 “Packaging materials and systems for medical devices which are to be sterilized.”

Additionally, QRA International's labs also test according to ISO 11607 - 1 so we comply with all these international standards, so that your certification is made so much easier.
