20090148340 | METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR STERILIZING PACKAGING MATERIAL - A method and an apparatus for sterilizing packaging material for use in packaging for protein containing products, such as food products or medical drugs. The packaging material is sterilized by irradiating it using a beam of ionizing radiation, such as an electron beam or a beam of gamma rays. Afterwards, the packaging material is processed in such a manner that protein reactive substances or compounds formed in the packaging material during the irradiation step are at least partly removed or rendered inreactive with respect to proteins. The processing step may advantageously be performed by heating the packaging material. Preferably, the processing step involves accelerating diffusion from the packaging material of protein reactive substances or compounds. Since the protein reactive substances or compounds are removed or rendered inreactive with respect to proteins, degradation of the product which is later stored in the packaging material is considerably reduced. The packaging material needs to be stored under sterile conditions for a shorter period of time. Thereby the space needed for sterile storage, as well of the risk of contamination, is considerably reduced. | 06-11-2009 |
20090076451 | Medical Device with Protected Transcutaneous Device - A medical device is provided comprising a first a second units, the first unit comprising a housing with a skin-mountable surface, and a transcutaneous device having a distal portion adapted to be arranged through the skin of the subject in a situation of use in which the housing has been applied on a skin surface. The second unit is adapted to be releasably coupled to the first unit thereby, in a situation of use, substantially covering an introduction site of the transcutaneous device through the skin, whereby at least partial removal of the second unit from the first unit at least partially uncovers the introduction site. In this way the transcutaneous device can be protected during use, yet it allows the user to inspect the introduction site. | 03-19-2009 |
