BLUE Connecting Packaging to Patients
Our goal is to turn Hospitals, clinics and surgery centers Blue with our industry leading medical pouch sealers that are the headwater of the SterileAware™ “Medical device packaging system improvement project” These simple to operate rotary sealers have been designed to replace the inadequate low-tech medical pouch sealers that could risk the sterility of your surgical devices. Hawo and Van der Stähl Scientific have collaborated with Sterile Aware® in order to provide a medical pouch sealer that meets the more robust requirements for sterile device packaging. Your engineering group will also benefit from these amazing sealers as preventive maintenance is fast and simple. Why risk a sterility loss on your devices?
Sterile device delivery to patient’s
Hawo and Van der Stähl Scientific will power the SterileAware™ “Medical device packaging system improvement project” with state-of-the-industry packaging technology for hospitals, clinics, and MDM’s. And with the SterileAware™ “approved systems inside” campaign, we deliver confidence of conforming packaging systems. Your promise to the patient is the safe and sterile delivery of a medical device to the patient in need. Our feature-rich control system assures all critical sealing parameters of temperature, conveyance speed, and force are compliant with your medical device packaging requirements. The MD-Series “Seal Check” mode verifies system functions for daily process checks.

Category-leading medical
device packaging machines…
The SterileAware™ mission to deliver medical devices safe and sterile to the point of care begins with our partnership with Hawo/Van der Stähl Scientific. This partnership allows us to bring advanced medical device pouch-sealing systems to manufacturers and Hospitals, so they can be assured that their medical devices will reach the point of care safe and sterile. Packaging systems like our feature-rich Nanopak are supporting the healthcare industry’s goal of zero defects on the sterile barrier system.
MD-880 medical device pouch sealer
Our rotary sealer allows operators to feed their medical device pouches rapidly through the feed system for an impressive throughput. The MD-880 medical device rotary sealer can also print on the Tyvek® side of your pouch with important information such as expiry dating and lot numbers. We include a calibration from our award-winning ISO 17025 calibration Laboratory as well as a host of packaging validation support.
Compliant premixed dye solution
ASTM F1929-15 ready premixed medical device pouch test solution for rapid testing. Now medical device packagers can purchase our premixed ink in bulk quantities. For our customers with a more demanding workflow that requires multiple dye penetration testing events throughout the day, we now offer a premixed solution in 8oz, 16oz, as well as a 32oz sizes. The dye solution comes in FDA-compliant Boston bottles.
Safe and sterile device delivery is our promise to the patient…
SterileAware™ Certified Systems
Sterile packaging support
ISO 17025 empirical laboratory services
Let us evaluate your medical device packaging by utilizing the ASTM F-88 seal strength test as well as the ASTM F-1929-15 dye penetration test. Our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory provides you easy to interpret high-resolution reporting that provides high value to your audit pathway. Our testing technicians are quality system certified to assure the most accurate testing. Contact our engineering group today and let’s get started.
The value of accredited Calibrations
Most providers of medical device packaging machinery require you to send your machinery to a third-party lab for calibration. We support our medical device manufacturers with two ISO 17025 accredited laboratories that create a seamless connection between the machine and your regulatory needs. The SterileAware™ value means purchasing critical packaging machinery from firms that support your regulatory requirement.
More than just a mission of awareness, we bring action…
Our Story and mission for
Improved Patient safety…
We believe when a cause is fueled by determined corporate might, guided with the heart of a non-profit, great things will be born. The SterileAware™ hybrid is about bringing to the market solutions and awareness for lowering HAI’s. Observation from our founder’s hospital bed when sick with an HAI was the catalyst for creating solutions for better patient safety. Exciting things are happening as we build this platform, come, and watch as our mission grows…
A challenging journey ahead
The SterileAware™ Mission is to examine healthcare-associated infections and deliver solutions engendered by our think tank. The mission will also include a campaign of awareness to the public about the dangers of cross-contamination and sterility loss at hospitals.

Solutions born from collaboration
Our “innovation partners program” is an innovation incubator designed to imagine new technologies that will serve to mitigate the spread of hospital associate infections. Improved packaging and medical device pouch testing systems will be our first target as we can leverage our 27 years of experience. Stay tuned as we take aim at patient safety.
We bought a van, and we have a plan. It’s time for a Road trip.
At SterileAware™ we will push the term “dispersed workplace” to a higher level as we weave work and our personal travel together on an epic Road-trip. We purchased a 4X4 van that will serve as our mobile office and living quarters as we circumnavigate the western US. We plan on dropping into hospitals and clinics to leave behind infographic posters as well as awareness bracelets, and we hope to book a few talks along the way…
