Medical masks are regarded as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and are therefore deemed medical devices. Due to this, they are subject to regulations, e.g. the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and must be labeled accordingly. Partnering with Codico can enable medical device and mask manufacturers to comply with the relevant legal requirements by offering manufacturers innovative solutions for their coding and marking needs. Codico offers expert Inkjet Coding Solutions to medical device manufacturers of medical masks, helping to quickly and conveniently implement compliant, automated coding on all types of medical device packaging.
Primary Single Product Code Deployment In terms of the N95/KN95 medical masks, manufacturers are generally required to print a variety of information such as the model number, a brief description of its use, and the manufacturers’ logo design, as well as traceability information onto each mask. Domino’s thermal inkjet printer can meet the requirements of diverse types of medical mask coding applications:
- Extremely simple integration of a modular design control board and print-heads to customer production lines
- High-resolution inkjet printing of up to 600dpi for clear and distinct printing of items such as logos
- A GAMP Certification Guide provided so medical device customers can rest assured of compliance
- Wide selection of inks which provide high-contrast results and ensure operator safety
Primary and Secondary Packaging Code Deployment Medical mask packaging boxes and bags require marking with production date, production batch number, date of expiry, and a tracking 2-D barcode containing relevant batch details. Domino’s Ax-Series small character Inkjet printers provide a highly efficient and stable code assignment service to medical mask production:
