All packing and manufacturing is carried out in one of our twelve bespoke ISO 14644 Cleanrooms.
Devices are packed into dedicated blister packs or into in-house produced pouches. Proposals for pack designs take into account customer and product needs, volumes and the chosen method of sterilisation to ensure that the sterile device is presented safe and secure at the right price.
Riverside has developed ‘narrow web’ thermoforming machines with in-line print/UV cure technology for blister packing. The tooling for these can be as little as 20% of the price of that required for other equipment. The low tooling cost allows products to be presented in robust and more attractive packaging formats than would otherwise be possible.
Ultrasonic cleaning if required, takes place in a dedicated Class 7 cell prior to packing. This fully validated process gives added assurance of near zero contamination and bioburden.
Sterilisation via ETO or Gamma is sub-contracted to approved ISO accredited partners to achieve efficient and effective microbial elimination. Routine monitoring of product, operatives and cleanroom bioburden ensures that the challenge to the sterilisation process remains low.
Riverside also has cleanroom injection moulding capability, this together with product and pack design, prototyping, production tooling, validations, product assembly, cleaning, packaging, sterilisation and even CE assistance to expedite new products to market, demonstrates the variety of activities carried out at the Derby site.
