Terms and Definitions
• Sterile barrier system – minimum package that prevents ingress of microorganisms and allows aseptic presentation of the product at the point of use
4
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Terms and Definitions (cont.)
• Aseptic presentation – introduction and transfer of a sterile product using conditions and procedures that exclude microbial contamination
5
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Stability Testing (ISO 11607 Part 1)
• Purpose – Demonstrate that the sterile barrier system
maintains integrity over time
• Stability Testing – Accelerated and Real Time Aging
• Stability testing and performance testing are separate entities
6

Performance Testing (ISO 11607 Part 1)
• Purpose – Evaluates the interaction between the package
system and the product in response to stresses
• Manufacturing • Sterilization • Handling • Distribution

Accelerated Aging: ASTM F1980
https://goo.gl/z3vZEahttps://goo.gl/OJrJbz
Post-Aging Testing Guidance
• Sterile barrier systems that have been subjected to aging (accelerated or real time) should be evaluated for both physical properties and integrity
10
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Post-Aging Testing Guidance (cont.)
• Popular test inputs for evaluations – Gross leak detection (bubble) per ASTM F2096 – Seal strength (peel) per ASTM F88

Post-Aging Testing Guidance (cont.)
• Aging of a specific sterile barrier system is independent of the physical configuration or contents;
• Materials and seals are expected to age the same regardless of their physical configuration or contents as long as the processing of that sterile barrier system is the same, that is, sterilized to the same processes.
12

Post-Aging Testing Guidance (cont.)
• Evaluate the performance of the aged packaging system during simulated distribution, handling, and storage as well to gather evidence of the device components’ aging characteristics.
• All aging samples will include the devices, or simulated devices, and all the packaging materials that make up the packaging system.

ASTM F1980: Time vs Temperature
14
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Temperature Effect on Products
15
• Temperatures higher than +60°C are not recommended due to the higher probability in many polymeric systems to experience non-linear changes, such as percent crystallinity, formation of free radicals, and peroxide degradation.
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Temperature Effect on Products (cont.)
16
• WESTPAK recommends accelerated aging at +55°C
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Case Study #1
17
• Aging Study: Thermoformed trays deformed @ +60°C • WESTPAK recommends Aging @ +55°C maximum
whenever possible
Client Short on Time: Requested +60OC
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Case Study #2
18
• Plan A - Aging Study @ +65°C or +70°C if required Perform in parallel with Plan B
• Plan B - Aging Study @ +55°C (back-up plan)
Client Rushes the Shelf Life Study

ASTM F1980-16
• Released October 2016
• Rev History – 2007 – 2002 – 1999 Edition 1

ASTM F1980-16 (cont.)
20
WESTPAK’s Interpretation: Conduct climatic conditioning using ASTM D4332 or ASTM F2825
https://goo.gl/z3vZEa
Real Time Aging (RT)
Ideal World
• Zero Time (T=0) • Accelerated Aging • Real Time Aging
• Conducted at the same time
21
Normal Practice
• Zero Time (T=0) then Accelerated Aging then Real Time Aging
• One after another

Real Time Aging - cont.
22
• Recommendation: Perform real time aging studies at a test lab, not somewhere at your office location.
• Advantage #1: Lessens the likelihood of loosing samples to team members needing samples for their tests
• Advantage #2: Legitimate test documentation
