8:15 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
8:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Ms. Hansen will provide her insights regarding how Johnson & Johnson views and utilizes the disciplines of Sterilization Science and Packaging Engineering. She will discuss initiatives that J&J is planning and has in place to take advantage of these two vital technologies.
9:00 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. Expanding on previous years, this year’s survey will continue to explore the international differences for the end use of medical device packaging. We will reflect on the success from presenting at the HealthPack show in Dublin, Ireland last year and also begin to point out some of the key differences observed between the medical packaging use in US, Europe, and other countries.
9:45 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.
10:15 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Hear an update of the most recent activities and initiatives from representatives of five of the most important and influential organization of the medical device packaging industry.
11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
1:00 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. This presentation will focus on the role of the Packaging/Sterilization subcommittee within the MDPTC and then examine several details contained within the database itself. Importantly, the presentation will also explore with the audience several of the challenges faced in developing the database, such as co-extrusions and laminations of primary materials, and how best packaging practices can be applied when considering the sterilization techniques for these materials.
1:45 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. The results of a study to correlate the outputs of two different tensile strength test methods, ASTM F88 and that which is described in an annex of EN868-5.
2:30 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
2:45 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. Live nurses focus group will be reviewing and commenting on their thoughts regarding several medical device industry packaging system designs.
3:45 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. This segment continues to be one of the most popular features of Healthpack. Not only does our audience get to see live, unrecorded and unfiltered opinions about packaging systems submitted to the panel of nurses but as you continue to attend Healthpack at its various locations around the country, you can get a viewpoint from your customer base from that area. We are looking forward to hearing from the operating room nurses from Kentucky and Indiana, MidAmerica U.S.A.
4:45 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
DAY 3
7:00 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.
8:15 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Quality Tech Services will present Case Studies on the effects of the medical device packaging process relative to the ISO 11607-1:2006 standard (Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1). QTS case studies will include real life comparisons of various customer situations and how their decisions were impacted by applying this standard and the reasoning behind different interpretations of methods and guidelines written within the standard, specific to: test methods and sample sizes.
9:00 a.m. - 9:45 a.m.
Doug Moyer To include a non-statistically significant survey of various medical device companies regarding their current corporate strategies to combat product fraud. Included will be a summary of Mr. Moyer’s research into Anti-Counterfeiting Strategy—Trends and Regulation & highlights of Anti-counterfeiting and product fraud technologies and strategies available and in development for the medical device packaging professional.
9:45 a.m. -10:00 a.m.
10:00 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. An evaluation of packaging process costs can often be overlooked when searching for cost savings opportunities. This presentation by Sealed Air's Medical Applications group will discuss two scenarios that may provide MDM's improved efficiencies in the area of manufacturing - (1) the power of downgauging beyond finished package cost and (2) a new technology using a laser to create print in SBS films without the use of traditional inks, label stocks and adhesives.
10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. What tests, evaluations and considerations should packaging engineers consider when they are confronted with a supplier, resin or processing changes in sterile barrier system materials?
11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
1:00 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. An algorithmic method has been created to evaluate the sterilization potential of various size Tyvek® header bag / sterile barrier systems in a defined EtO cycle. It considers the volume of the package, area of Tyvek® in the system, porosity and cycle specifications.
1:45 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Audit Findings and Recalls Related to Medical Device Packaging.
2:30 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. What should you look for in equipment and what are the issues and challenges involved with the validation process for impulse heat sealers?
3:15 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
