Testing Spotlight

Dye Penetration testing is used to find channel leaks through the seals formed by a transparent film and porous material.  This qualitative test will find channel leaks through a seal as small as 50 microns.  To conduct Dye Penetration testing, a dye and surfactant solution are injected into the medical device packaging.  Each seal is exposed to the dye penetrant for 5-20 seconds.  During this time, the trained operator will inspect the seals for dye fluid coming through the seals.  The release of dye through a channel leak would constitute a failure of the package integrity, and according to ISO 11607, a breach of sterile integrity.
