Enaris' range of transportation bags have been tested and certified as being compliant at 95 kPa pressure.
In a release, the company stated that the 95 kPa transportation bags have been designed to cope with extremes of pressure in transportation and eliminate the risks associated with packaging failure and comply with IATA regulations.
The company said that the Enaris range of Safe-Hold products ensures full compliance with Packing Instruction 650 legislation pertaining to biological specimen transportation.
The Safe-Hold products offer a complete transportation solution – including absorbent pads, pouches (including multi-bay) and 95 kPa specimen transportation bags.
Available in a range of sizes with absorbency levels, Safe-Hold absorbent pads and pouches meet all requirements, and the pouches can be made in formats ranging from single bay to six-bay pouches, it said.
The company also offers leak-proof specimen transport bags in a various sizes, including A3. These bags can be used where the 95 kPa pressure requirement is not mandatory.
The Enaris-compliant specimen transportation range also includes medical and healthcare products with surface/spillage protection, dental products, and products for use in surgery.
Enaris, formerly a medical division of Sirane, caters to the medical, laboratory, dental, care-home, emergency, and veterinary sectors.
Sirane group managing director Simon Balderson said: “Packing Instruction 650 is quite clear… the primary or secondary packaging must be capable of withstanding a pressure differential of at least 95 kPa, without leaking. Furthermore, the primary packaging must contain enough absorbent material to absorb the entire contents, if needed.
"Our range of Safe-Hold products offers all the components needed – either sold separately or together – to ensure absolute compliance on your part. After months of careful and laborious testing, we began offering our 95 kPa bags, and can currently offer them in three sizes, A6, A5 and A4 – with A3 to follow.”
