Did you know the packaging rules changed this year?
3 min reading time

I had been trying to get a packaging expert on the 10x stage for three years because we’d never covered it in depth as a group.

It was worth the wait.

Adept Packaging sent 35+ year veteran Jan Gates to speak and she did not disappoint.

This video is for anyone who makes a medical device because (I did not know this): Standards 11067-1 and -2 put packaging on the same level as product. Jan explained,

You don’t have a product going out if you can’t package it right.

Jan Gates 10x presentation

11607 was revised this year to include human factors and use.

They changed critical process parameters. In fact,

There is no primary packaging for medical devices any more.

If you package anything and don’t know what that means, spend the time on the video. And if you’re not certain your engineers (hopefully you have a packaging engineer?) understand all the changes, send the presentation to them.

P.S. I checked with Jan before publishing today and, yes, you can email her directly with questions at [email protected].

Thank you, Jan. A great service for our group members.

Fast Round about Targeting Hospital Customers

At 10x, Fast Rounds recognize each guest is an expert – even if we don’t have time to feature each as a speaker.

I spent time with Katie Vahle, Chief Commercial Officer for healthcare marketing platform Carvoyance. You’ll want to talk with her if you seek a better way to start conversations with hospitals and doctors.

Excellent article/presentation and thanks for sharing.
Packaging Engineer is not being appreciated or threated as other engineering discipline. Also, in the job environment the packaging engineer are the first target for a quick last minute cost reduction.

Rony, I learned a lot from Jan Gates. She's right. No packaging means no product. I suspect most think of the product and then think, "Oh, right! I need to put this in a box." She shattered that misunderstanding for me.
