Manufacturing Process Flow for the Post Mortem Kit

The production of our Post Mortem Kit is a meticulously controlled process, adhering to stringent quality management systems such as ISO 13485:2016. Our focus is on precision, material integrity, and aseptic conditions to ensure every kit meets the highest standards for medical and forensic use.

Process Steps:

  1. Material Sourcing and Incoming Quality Control (IQC):

    We source medical-grade SMS non-woven fabrics (for shrouds), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for body bags, and absorbent polymers for pads from certified suppliers. IQC involves rigorous testing for material weight, tensile strength, fluid resistance (hydrostatic pressure), and microbial load, ensuring compliance with EN 13795 and ASTM standards.

  2. Precision Cutting and Shaping (CNC Machining for components):

    Large rolls of SMS fabric for the Shroud Kit 54 X 108 Shroud Sheet #SK54108A are precision-cut to specified dimensions using automated CNC cutting machines, ensuring consistent size and minimizing waste. Smaller components like chin straps and ID tags are also cut and shaped, often from pre-formed polymer sheets or custom-molded using injection molding processes. Tolerances are typically held within ±2mm.

  3. Assembly and Sealing (Welding/Stitching):

    The shroud sheets are hemmed or ultrasonically welded to reinforce edges. Components like body bags utilize thermal welding (heat sealing) to create leak-proof seams. This process is critical for containing bodily fluids and maintaining biohazard integrity, tested according to ANSI/AAMI PB70 liquid barrier performance standards. Kits are assembled with all required elements like absorbent pads, identification tags, and personal effects bags.

  4. Quality Assurance and Packaging:

    Each assembled Post Mortem Kit undergoes visual inspection for defects, ensuring all components are present and correctly manufactured. Packaging occurs in a controlled environment (e.g., Class 100,000 cleanroom) to prevent contamination. Kits are individually sealed in durable, sterile-barrier packaging designed to protect against environmental factors and maintain sterility until use. Packaging materials are chosen for tear resistance and puncture resistance.

  5. Sterilization:

    The packaged kits are sterilized using validated methods, predominantly Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization or Gamma Irradiation, in accordance with ISO 11135 or ISO 11137 standards, respectively. Batch testing for Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 is routinely performed, ensuring sterility for end-users in critical environments like forensic pathology and emergency services.

This rigorous process ensures a reliable, safe, and effective solution for deceased management. The service life for sealed, sterile kits is typically 5 years, contingent on appropriate storage conditions.
