Sterile Packaging
Roadtrip For
Patient Safety

We have loaded up our rig and we are on the road demonstrating the world’s best medical device packaging and testing machinery. We will be hiking and camping as we make our way to medical device manufacturing companies and Hospitals during our patient safety Road-trip…

The silent epidemic of patient infections at the hospital

The COVID-19 event literally shut down the world and born from this pandemic was widespread awareness of virus propagation and infection. Surprisingly a lesser-known silent epidemic continues to persist, HAIs (hospital-associated infections) These infections threaten the lives of thousands of Americans each year and yet this epidemic gains little Press. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that HAIs account for approximately 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths each year. Although the problem is beginning to wane due to better healthcare worker training and smart technology, there is much left to be done in order to halt these needless deaths. There is no clear number of what impact sterile packaging has on the HAI problem, but it certainly plays a role. We invite you to explore this page and discover Van der Stahl Scientific’s journey as we hit the road for patient safety.

Sterile Packaging
& Testing Systems

As a medical device packaging machine VA hospital contract holder, we needed a way to get the word out on better ways to assure patient safety through better packaging technologies. It was also clear that medical device manufacturers needed assistance to learn how they can stay compliant with the ISO-17025-2019 medical device packaging requirements.

So why not outfit a command unit van with demonstration equipment and have one of the nations leading medical device packaging technologist SME reach out onsite to medical device manufacturers and hospitals? Get your medical device packaging questions answered and get hands-on with the most advanced medical device packaging and testing machinery, right at your facility. Contact customer care and see if we are scheduled for your city, we would love to demonstrate our packaging and testing systems.

Packaging Podcast

Listen in as we speak with the nation’s leading medical device packaging and manufacturing experts on SPOT radio. The goal of this Podcast is to engender a community of packaging and medical device manufacturing engineers that can pose questions to our panel of SME’s. We will cover all corners of medical device packaging from trending medical device packaging regulatory issues, new packaging technologies, and even general medical device manufacturing topics.

SPOT radio (sterile packaging on track) is quickly becoming the voice of medical device packaging. Listen in or join the conversation, we are always looking for more participants that would like to chat about medical device manufacturing and packaging. We have packed up our Podcasting equipment so we can deliver new Podcast episodes from Hotels and Campsites even from our Road-trip.

DEMANDS SMARTER

device packaging…

Many Hospitals and some medical device manufactures seem to still be using medical device packaging machine technology that is 15 to 20 years old. Just think of your mobile phone (if you even had one 20 years ago) and how antiquated it would be today. The updated requirements for packaging a medical device requires a microprocessor-controlled packaging machine with software monitored sensors. The message is clear from the FDA and ISO, packaging machinery must conform to the higher demands of medical device packaging validation.

Medical device manufactures and hospitals are upping their game in order to conform to the latest more robust regulatory requirements for medical device packaging. Van der Stähl Scientific is on the road to educate packaging engineers and Hospital SPD leaders on better ways to meet these thicker normative challenges.

Family time outside as we spread the word on medical device packaging compliance…

Mixing business with pleasure is a beautiful thing indeed, welcome to our sterile packaging mission that we have nicked named “Camping for Compliance” We are on the road demonstrating our patented “smart tech” packaging systems with a focused goal of preventing the sterility loss of medical devices. We will lead the “packaging systems upgrade” revolution and even sneak in some hiking and family fun as we roll out the miles.
