head can be positioned in the hood
or on a tabletop, cart, or stand and is
operable in a vertical, horizontal, or
angled orientation; the touch screen
is mounted on a flexible arm; and the
control cabinet can be wall mounted,
laid flat, or stood up within 6 ft of
the seal head. Standard features of
the sealing system include full digital
process control and display through
the human–machine interface,
password-protected seal parameters,
visual and audible fault indicators,
storage for up to 50 sealing
programs, validation verification
ports, and an external exhaust port.
Seals can be up to 35 in. long.

Package Leak Tester
Nondestructive, flexible testing of
nonporous medical device packages
can be performed with a system that
produces quantitative test results
from packages that cannot be
pressurized through an access port.
The TME Solution-C test system
combines the sensitivity of pressure-or vacuum-decay leak testing with
the simplicity of sealed fixtures and
is capable of detecting holes as small
as 5 μm in diameter. It employs a
proprietary chamber design to find
leaks in product seals or walls and
the seals of such common packaging
materials as films, foils, and
laminates; in addition, it can test for
leaks in pouches, induction-welded
bottle seals, and blister cards. An
instrument that offers high resolution
of 0.0001 psi or 0.01 mbar/sec, the
tester comes with fixtures custom-
the ytterbium-fiber, Nd: YVO4, and
Nd: YAG lasers, the near infrared
of the FAP laser, the green output
of frequency-doubled solid-state
lasers, and the ultraviolet output of
the frequency-tripled vanadate laser.
Various available configurations
of lasers and optics provide such
designed to maximize test sensitivity
for a specific product or package,
interchangeable fixture inserts to
accommodate packages of various
sizes, and a touch screen control that
allows for storage of 100 linkable
programs and 5000 test results. It
can be supplied as a pressure-decay,
vacuum-decay, or pressure/vacuum-decay leak tester.

Tube Measurement
Systems
A tube measurement instrument
measures, controls, and provides
product validation for the outside
diameter (OD), inner diameter
(ID), and wall thickness of straight
and bumped medical tubing.
The Wallmaster system uses the
manufacturer’s Smartwall technology
to self-tune measurement signals
and perform calibration. It consists
performance capabilities as marking
that withstands repeated autoclaving,
small kerf widths for precision
cutting, and microprocessing that
produces features as small as 1 μm.
Workstations range in sophistication
from those requiring manual loading
to stations providing fully automated
part transport.
