Ophthalmic Product Package Inspection

Ophthalmic packaging faces unique challenges in maintaining product sterility, especially for liquid-filled containers like soft plastic bottles and foil-sealed blister packs. Even microscopic leaks in container closures can allow bacteria and fungi to contaminate solutions, posing serious risks to eye health. Traditional dye ingress tests often produce false positives and rely on subjective visual inspection, making them inefficient and unreliable. Advanced vacuum decay technology offers a precise, ASTM-approved alternative, delivering quantitative results in under 30 seconds per sample. This method detects defects as small as 5 microns, ensuring integrity for both liquid and air-filled containers. With proven success in ophthalmic applications, this approach addresses common issues such as flange defects and micro-channel leaks, safeguarding product quality and patient safety.
