Continuing education in medical device packaging is essential for career and company growth…

Medical device manufacturers have just been challenged to meet the more robust revised ISO 11607-1:2019 standard, that now addresses materials, sterile barrier systems, and packaging systems, as well as ISO 11607-2:2019, which covers the validation for forming, sealing and assembly processes. Also with recent revisions of the ISO 13485 standard, manufacturing and packaging engineers can quickly get lost in the weeds. Our Podcast will deliver “drive to work” discussions designed to keep you up to date to avoid potential gaps in your regulatory approach to the packaging of terminally sterilized medical devices.

We will also discuss the latest tools to help your company stay informed on the latest in machinery, software, and materials. Our host Charlie Webb CPP speaks to the nation’s leading company’s and SME’s to help you maintain a competitive and regulatory edge in our complicated ecosystem. With 25 years in sterile device packaging Charlie Webb brings his packaging insight into discussions with our guests, Charlie says “If you are not in a continuing education mode in our demanding and risk-focused industry you will likely fall short under a siloed closed-loop packaging group, always look outside your organization to avoid the perils of incestuous data collection”
