Norm ASTM F3039: “Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems”
Note: The ASTM F3039 standard applies to non-porous sealing materials (film-film pouches made of PE, PET, PVA, PVOH, PVC). When using partially porous sealing materials (paper-film pouches) the test ink according to DIN EN ISO 11607-1, Annex B (in American ASTM F1929) is required.

Norm ASTM F3039 specifies a test procedure that can be used to determine whether sealing seams of medical packaging seal sterilely. Also known as seal tightness test. During the functional test of sealed seams of medical packaging, this ink is used to check the seam tightness. If the ink leaks, it can be assumed that the medical device is not sterile and the packaging process should be adapted.

These test inks according to norm ASTM F3039 are manufactured by Octopus Fluids GmbH & Co. KG and their physical properties are adjusted according to norm ASTM F3039.
When testing sealing seams, our test ink makes constant and reliable statements thanks to the consistent quality of our batch test. The ink is also available in further colours. For this you may make your inquiry without obligation.
