SUGGESTIONS

  1. The Manufacturer advises that PVC as well as PP bags (whether supplied by the Manufacturer itself or produced by the Customer with components and raw-materials supplied by the Manufacturer) should be steam sterilized, after filling, by an autoclave with adequate counter-pressure and according to the parameters indicated in EuPh 5.1.1 (121°C for 20 min - steam sterilization).

  2. Bags, both in PVC as well as in PP, can also be sterilized, before filling, by irradiation.

  3. n the cases above indicated at point 1 and 2, the responsibility on the process, integrity and sterility of the finished product lays exclusively on the Customer.

  4. It is advisable to protect the bags, both in PVC as well as in PP, with an adequate over-pouch (i.e. secondary packaging).

  5. It is advisable to store PVC tubular films and tubes as well as PP flat films and tubes between 18°C and 20°C for at least 48 h before use.
