ISO 11607: Packaging for Terminally Sterilized Medical Devices Essentials Training by Tonex
Built for teams that must get packaging right the first time, this program translates ISO 11607 Parts 1 and 2 into clear, practical actions across design, validation, and compliance. You’ll learn how to establish material suitability, engineer sterile barriers, and prove process capability with defensible evidence. Because packaging data now flows through eQMS, labeling systems, and connected sealers, we also address digital risks that can compromise records, UDI, and release decisions. Expect guidance on protecting integrity, authenticity, and traceability of packaging data. Robust packaging prevents contamination; robust cybersecurity prevents manipulation of the very data that certifies sterility.
Learning Objectives
- Interpret ISO 11607 Parts 1 and 2 requirements and apply them to real programs
