The new and inexpensive Micro Burst Tester developed by MET has met with
resounding approval from customers. The Miniburst is a dedicated burst
test machine, ideal for QA testing of medical pouches and blisters. This
machine offers a go/no-go gauge which is really simple to use and well
within everyone’s budget. Training is provided, but it could not be simpler to use. Testers are delivered calibrated and validation services
are available from MET. They can be efficiently used on the production
line and in the QA department.

A twin needle technique is used for inflation and pressure measurement.
The minimum required burst pressure is pre-set and the displayed pressure changes from green to red if this is not achieved. Manual acknowledgement of a failure is required in order to address operator fatigue.

MET delivers integrated solutions to medical device engineers. The Optiburst forms part of wide range of leak and pack testers, offered in
conjunction with complementary shelf-life studies.
