The OPL series medical pouch sealer has been the leading choice among many medical device companies throughout the US and Canada. This microprocessor-controlled pouch sealer manages critical temperature at the sealing platen with a thin-film temperature sensor. This sensor, designed to mimic the pouch environment, accurately feeds back thermal data in order to assure repeatable seals.
The OPL series sterile packaging sealers creates a wide 10mm seal in order to create a robust sealed channel between the sterile part and the ambient environment. The OPL medical pouch sealer includes a switch table (on 300mm models only) that allows operators to activate the switch with the side of their hands during packaging. The air-switch can be removed from the table docking station and set on the floor in order to be used as a foot switch.
This sealer further has an option to be set in the auto-cycle mode, which is user-adjustable and can be set in 1/10th second increments, up to 5 seconds. In this mode, the machine will automatically cycle. This creates a highly ergonomic packaging flow and allows production to pace the packaging rate.
Built on a robust cast aluminum frame, this unit is designed for continuous use for years of dependable service. Unlike some sealers that use inexpensive air pistons, the series medical device sealers use robust solenoids that allow tighter control as the power to activate the solenoid is accurately metered through the microprocessor. This system also means the unit requires no air and all the associated validation, management and quality issues surrounding air-driven sealers. The OPL series medical pouch sealers come to you with complete calibration certification that is traceable to NIST. Simply plug into 110v in your cleanroom and you're ready to begin your validation.
The OPL Series medical bag sealers and FA Series semi-automatic sealers are a great choice for our customers with an oversized bag and these sealers are configured in 200mm (7.9"), 300mm (12"), 450mm (17.7") and 600mm (23.6"). Just remember when selecting a sealer bigger than 300mm, you will need 220v.
Because of the attractive price-point of the sealer, the OPL series medical packaging sealer is a great choice for medical startups that insist on the quality and accuracy of sealers such as our MS-350, but need a price point more in line with the start-up's budget. To learn more about this exceptional medical device packager, contact customer support, 800-550-3854.
FA Series Sealer
For our customers who do not need to validate their process, the FA series semi-automatic impulse sealer utilizes the same machine design, but incorporates a simple electronic controller as opposed to the more expensive and advanced microprocessor. This machine still will seal the same films as the OPL series medical pouch sealers. However, if the product you are sealing will not be sold sterile or a validation process is not important, then consider the FA series sealer as an excellent choice for the semi-automatic packaging of thermal form flexible films.

The core of the ISO-11607 is the nomenclature, "repeatability". The headwater of any repeatable process is electronic control systems such as microprocessors.
The heart of the OPL series sealers is a precision microprocessor that tightly controls the platen temperature in order to engender repeatable seals. This is not a PLC but rather a microprocessor that has been completely developed for the purpose of creating accurate temperature profiles for medical bags and pouches (see actual datalogging session on this sealer). This microprocessor was created with two distinct results in mind. First and foremost, the processor's mandate was to tightly manage the pouch environment through an accurate thermal feedback system utilizing a K-type thin-film thermocouple. Secondly, the system was developed understanding the regulatory challenges, so we developed this processor with a 3-axis design of experiment in mind such as a maintenance mode that allows quality teams and maintenance to adjust offsets during calibration sessions. You can count on the exacting features and the quality of this Hitachi microprocessor. To find out more information about this advanced control system or the OPL medical pouch sealer, contact customer support at 1-800-550-3854.
Testing ergonomics basically state that functions are much more likely to be performed when close at hand. The MS-451PV medical pouch sealer takes this management concept one step further by wholly integrating inspection and testing.
This sealer's microprocessor will require operators to test at predetermined intervals and if the bags/pouches do not pass the user-defined peel strength threshold, the unit will stop packaging until the quality team can evaluate failure.
This packaging machine, we believe, is the future of sterile device packaging under the new centralized logic model. Call engineering to learn more about this exceptional packager 800-550-3854.
Frustrated with the lack of available visual inspection equipment, we developed the Viu® in our packaging integrity lab (learn more about our package integrity lab). Even when utilizing the best available microscopes with both back and front lighting, we were unable to develop the needed visual acuity.
