MENTOR, OHIO – March 25, 2024 – STERIS today announced the launch of Verafit Sterilization Bags and Covers, which feature a new, patent-pending viewing window to visually inspect and confirm the dryness of a sterilized part. The unique design helps biopharmaceutical manufacturers conform to the latest EU GMP Annex 1 requirements for dryness confirmation as part of sterilization cycle acceptance.

“When EU GMP Annex 1 was released, we recognized that many of our Customers would need to visually confirm the dryness of a part within its sterile packaging,” said Elaine Sartain, Vice President, Global Marketing, STERIS Life Sciences Contamination Control Products. “Verafit Sterilization Bags and Covers make this possible via the viewing window. This enhancement adds to the overall value of our sterilization bags and covers, which provide an easy-to-use, consistent method of wrapping products and maintaining sterility.”

Verafit Sterilization Bags and Covers feature a polypropylene film window and are constructed with Purefit™ the cleanest flexible sterilization wrapping to reduce the risk of particulate, microbial, and chemical contamination per EU GMP Annex 1.
