MEDICAL PACKAGING
SUPPORTED WITH
SEAL STATS
Medical Device Packaging Deserves Real Time Machine support
The most critical component in your medical device packaging line is your pouch sealing machinery. Historically medical device packagers would only periodically sample machine functions in order to be certain that their equipment was functioning within spec. This process created large windows where medical device pouches were improperly sealed, risking medical device sterility. Coming soon the SEAL STAT® system will allow quality managers to review in real-time machine functions and receive non-conforming alerts from their packaging equipment on their mobile device. Watch your validated medical device packaging process from wherever you are with SEAL STAT®.
REAL TIME SOLUTIONS
Medical device packaging engineers can access a list of common machine issues and refer to our robust troubleshooting panel. Simply select your machine model in order to be directed to a list of solutions to get you back up and running quickly. With feedback, we continue to add to our troubleshooting section.
MACHINE MANUALS
The SEAL STAT® App provides fast access to your Sealing machine manual right at the point of service, calibration, or validation. No more hunting for instructions, a complete machine manual PDF is easy to access with a few simple clicks right in the palm of your hands. Stay connected with SEAL STAT®
VISUAL SEAL INSPECTION
With SEAL STAT® you can take a picture from your mobile device of a particular seal anomaly to quickly identify your sealing fault. The app allows you to scroll through failure panels and once matched with a known failure, you can access solutions. Make visual seal inspection easy with SEAL STAT® mobile App.

DATA SUPPORT
with SEAL STATS®
A quick glance at the SEAL STAT® App provides packaging engineers fast access to a variety of resources such as packaging machine electronic manuals, troubleshooting problems, and solutions as well as real-time chat with technical support from our engineering group, all right in the palm of your hands.
Also coming to the next iteration of this phone application, packaging engineers will be able to stay connected in real-time with select medical device packaging systems. Imagine the power of receiving a text message or email when your medical device pouch sealer generates an error code. This is where the magic begins with the SEAL STAT® system.
SEAL STAT® VISUAL INSPECTION TOOLS
POWERFUL SEAL INSPECTION
REFERENCE TOOL AND
SOLUTION DATABASE…
SEAL STAT® now has in-app integration of our VIU™ visual seal reference database. This will allow packaging engineers to compare their visual seal anomalies against a comprehensive database of known seal failures. Identifying the type of visual seal failure is the first step in developing a cogent solution. After identifying the seal issue, you can navigate to well-defined remedies for your medical pouch sealing challenge.
The VIU™ reference database was developed by our certified packaging professional in our ISO 17025 accredited medical device pouch testing laboratory. This reference tool was created to simplify visual seal inspection with the goal of encouraging regular visual seal inspection.

DATA AT A GLANCE
COMING SOON…
Coming soon a quick glance at the calendar function on the SEAL STAT® system will allow packaging engineers to review medical device pouch sealing events. Within the calendar function, engineers can observe packaging machine activities on a specific day in order to trend packaging machine behavior.
Packaging engineers can also overlay specific calendar event activities to performance test data such as peel and burst testing. This granular data collection can be a valuable metric to better understand machine behavior as it relates to output data such as seal strength. The calendar feature will also list alarm activities over a 30-day period.

Stay Connected to
Your Medical Device
Packaging Machines
If you are a medical device packaging engineer or a supervisor at a hospital SPD center, you understand the risk of a failed medical pouch seal. With the SEAL STAT® system, a problem notification on your critical medical device packaging line is just a text alert away.
As a medical device packaging supervisor, you can only solve problems that you are aware of, so imagine the power of real-time connectivity to your medical packaging equipment. The SEAL STAT® system relays valuable machine data such as temperature, conveyor rotation speed, and critical force so you can monitor these critical attributes’ compliance to your process.
VALIDATION CONNECTIVITY WITH SEAL STATS
Critical Sealing
Machine Parameter Alerts
wherever you are…
Whether you are in the cleanroom or miles away you can now receive critical parameter failure alerts on your mobile device or computer. The SEAL STAT® system recognizes when a medical device pouch sealer has fallen outside of acceptable parameters and then sends an alert via text messaging through the mobile app or as an email. This feature helps to alert anyone on the quality team that is registered to receive alerts so they can quickly respond with appropriate actions.
Stay connected to your critical packaging function and avoid potential product recalls due to non-conforming packaging equipment failures. The SEAL STAT® System is an invaluable tool to keep your medical device packaging program on track with real-time connectivity to your critical medical device packaging machinery.
Features that support packaging engineers and maintenance groups
TECHNICAL SUPPORT LIVE CHAT
Subscribers to the SEAL STAT® system can live chat with technical support experts to quickly solve machine issues. Our “In-App” chat feature links your maintenance staff or quality team with real-time certified technical support.
TROUBLESHOOTING DATABASE
SEALING MACHINE MANUALS
When servicing your medical device packaging equipment having an up-to-date manual at the point of service is invaluable. Simply enter the model of your machine and you will have the full version of the user manual in your hands.
Medical Pouch Visual inspection
There are multiple medical pouch seal failures that can quickly be identified visually. The VIU™ reference tool in the SEAL STAT® app is a great way to identify medical pouch sealing anomalies and explore potential solutions.
Capture an image of your seal
Capture an image of your pouch seal issue from your phone’s camera and compare your seal image side by side against the reference panels. The image you take can be checked against known seal anomalies as you scroll through the panels.
Solutions to your seal issues
Features that support packaging engineers and maintenance groups
Can a text message from a pouch sealer save you from a recall?
When medical device pouches are sealed on machinery that is running outside of validation parameters, the sterile barrier system is in jeopardy. The SEAL STATS system works in concert with our select medical device pouch sealers sensors to bring you real-time updates on the sealer’s status via text messaging or e-mail.
