PAC Machinery to Demonstrate Model 552 Med Validatable Medical Band Sealer Configured With UDI Compliant Printer

SAN RAFAEL, CA--(Marketwired - February 04, 2016) - PAC Machinery, a leader in the bag sealing and flexible packaging industry, announced today that it will offer its popular Packaging Aids 552 Medical Band Sealer with a self-contained, UDI compliant print module. Now required by the FDA, UDI is a unique identification code assigned to medical devices by the manufacturer of the device and will replace the use of NHRICs and NDCs for medical device bag and pouch serialization. "The integration of the new UDI printer ensures that our model 552 Med Validatable Band Sealer users will be in full compliance with the current FDA labeling rules," said Mr. Brian Jobson, Product Line Manager at PAC Machinery. "Our printer solution is designed to address the complex pouch and bag labeling requirements of highly regulated medical and life science applications," Mr. Jobson continued. The Packaging Aids 552 Med Validatable Band Sealer will be shown in action at the WestPack 2016 packaging symposium (Feb. 9-11) in Anaheim California, booth #5039.
