The Sterile Barrier Association has prepared this poster to provide guidance to healthcare professionals and medical device manufacturers on the symbols used to label different types of sterile barrier systems and protective packaging. These symbols were created to help ensure correct handling and aseptic presentation of different SBS and PP configurations.
It’s important that healthcare staff can correctly identify and differentiate which type of SBS or PP they are working with. This helps to ensure that they handle the packaging correctly and use the correct aseptic presentation method to maintain patient safety. We encourage you to print this poster out and place it where your healthcare staff can easily consult it.
