Bit of an odd one here. Our Class II (USA) product is currently provided in a single sterile barrier that we have proven in shelf life/distribution out to 3 years. This product contains latex and as such, has seen some degradation issues over the years....though real time studies have proven 3 year shelf life. To further protect this device and lessen complaints we're considering the addition of a foil pouch like condoms use as a non-sterile barrier to protect the whole package. While we plan on performing ship/shake and baseline tests per iso11607, would anyone consider that the benefit of adding this pouch now, with limited shelf life data, would outweigh the risks of NOT adding it. i.e. don't wait for acc. aging data, but implement now to make a speedy improvement. Would love some thoughts. thanks
Note: foil added after eto degassing period (post sterilization)
