There are many medical devices that can benefit from a low moisture and oxygen environment. Many of our customers that utilize the V-402 Medical Pouch Sealer have chosen this device in order to thwart problems such as oxidation or discoloration on some critical parts. Some of our customers pack medical devices with an optical surface and the moisture has caused the optics to fog or discolor. Also, many of these medical devices, in the presence of oxygen, can change key device chemistry that may be activated by an ambient environment or moisture. Some of our customers have simply found that vacuum packaging their device either alone or with a thermal-formed tray provided needed stability for the device during the shipping and handling process. Whatever your reasons for vacuum packaging your sterile part may be, you'll find the V-402 medical packager a key partner in your success in your packaging program.

This versatile microprocessor-controlled vacuum sealer represents the magnum opus of vacuum packaging. The V-402 sealer incorporates an advanced microprocessor that allows for precision fine-tuning of all sealer-controlled functions. Temperature on the microprocessor can be set tightly in order to ensure seal strength compliance against the FDA's QSRs and ISO's 11607. Fully calibratable and easy to adjust, this microprocessor has a few more tricks up its sleeve such as the electronic vacuum gauge. The sealer can be set up for specific vacuum levels. Once those pre-set vacuum levels are achieved, the V-402 sealer will automatically withdraw the vacuum tube and invoke the heat and cool down dwell cycles, netting out a perfectly repeatable vacuum in your pouch in concert with perfectly repeatable seal strength expectations.

The V-402 Medical Pouch Sealer also incorporates its own piston-driven compressor to generate vacuum as well as run the sealer's pneumatic functions. This powerful compressor is designed for hard service and long duty and high throughput utilization. In order to maintain good compressor service over the life of the sealer, the V-402 medical vacuum packager incorporates its own dry filter unit as well as a 5 micron vacuum filter and collection vessel.

During each operation, the Hitachi microprocessor will light indicator lamps for vacuum, heat, and cooling in order to monitor the packaging process. This is designed to ensure seal-to-seal consistency for the critical packager such as medical device manufacturers.

The V-402 sealer is activated with an automatic footswich that incorporates several tiers of safety in order to prevent the possibility of injury to the operator. This 220V sealer includes its own fuseable link circuit breaker upstream of the power switch in order to further provide safety to the system itself. Every V-402 Medical Pouch Sealer is shipped with an NIST traceable certificate of calibration from Van der Stähl Scientific's comprehensive package integrity and calibration lab.

These units are typically in stock and can be shipped usually within 48 hours after purchase. Also, at the time of purchase, if your vacuum pouches are sent ahead to the Van der Stähl package integrity and calibration lab, we can optimize the machine's performance in order to help streamline the IQ process of your validation.

The V-402 will also generate a 10mm or .4" wide seal designed to maintain your product's sterility and vacuum to your customer. The V-402 Medical Pouch Sealer has a two-line print option in order for you to print date and lot coding information on the pouch. The FEP printer option utilizes thermal transfer technology in order to put a smear-proof mark on even the toughest films such as nylon or foil pouches. If you have questions regarding the V-402 or general questions regarding packaging or validation, please feel free to contact one of our certified consultants for quick, comprehensive answers to your questions.
