Test Principle
Firstly submerge the specimen in the water in the vacuum chamber, and then evacuate the vacuum chamber to form differential pressure between the inside and outside of specimen. The seal property can be obtained by observing the steady progression of bubbles from the specimen or observing how the specimen expands and restores to its original shape after vacuum release.

FAQ's of ASTM D3078 Medical Devices Packaging Compliance Test Instrument:
Q: How does the ASTM D3078 Medical Devices Packaging Compliance Test Instrument perform leak integrity testing?
A: The instrument uses a vacuum chamber to assess the integrity of sealed flexible packaging by detecting potential leaks under negative pressure, consistent with ASTM D3078 requirements. The high-precision pressure sensor monitors changes, providing accurate and responsive results with both automatic and manual calibration.
Q: What types of medical device packaging can be tested with this instrument?
A: This device is suitable for testing sealed flexible packages up to 300 x 300 mm in size. It is specifically designed to evaluate packaging intended for sterile medical devices, ensuring compliance with ASTM D3078 standards.
Q: When should leak integrity tests be performed using this equipment?
A: Leak integrity tests should be conducted during packaging validation, routine quality control, and whenever process changes are made. Regular testing helps ensure ongoing compliance with regulatory and industry standards for medical device packaging.
Q: Where can this test instrument be installed and operated?
A: The instrument is ideal for use in clean room or indoor laboratory environments. Its compact bench-top design ensures easy installation in spaces where sterility and minimal contamination are critical.
Q: What is the typical process for conducting a test?
A: The process involves placing the package inside the vacuum chamber, setting desired test parameters via the digital interface, and initiating either continuous or timed testing. The system automatically records pressure data and alerts operators to leaks or overpressure conditions with visual and audio alarms.
Q: How does the digital interface enhance the usability of the instrument?
A: The touch screen and button controls offer intuitive navigation and precise test setup. Digital LCD display provides real-time monitoring of pressure and status, while data can be output via USB or RS232 ports for documentation and analysis.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this compliance test instrument?
A: Key benefits include high testing accuracy (1% of full scale), fast response (<1 second), automatic/continuous operation, user-friendly digital controls, and assured compliance with the ASTM D3078 standard, all of which contribute to more efficient quality assurance for medical device packaging.
