Packaging Integrity Yield at 110% target packaging integrity yield: a worked example in implantable electronics & neurodevices

Push target packaging integrity yield up to 110% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when packaging engineering or QA needs to compare sterile barrier test results against the release or validation target.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Sterile barrier packages passing seal integrity tests: 390 packages (unchanged)
  • Sterile barrier packages submitted for integrity testing: 400 packages (unchanged)
  • Target packaging integrity yield: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 99)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Packaging integrity yield = sterile packages passing integrity checks ÷ sterile packages tested × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 97.5 % for packaging integrity yield, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 12.5 points for packaging integrity yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 390 count for sterile packages passing integrity checks.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 400 count for sterile packages tested.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target packaging integrity yield sits at 99% and the headline result is 97.5 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 97.5 %.
  • It computes the percentage of tested sterile barrier packages that pass integrity checks and the point gap between that yield and your target. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Packaging integrity yield: 97.5 % (headline result)
  • Packaging integrity yield gap to target: 12.5 points
  • Sterile packages passing integrity checks: 390 count
  • Sterile packages tested: 400 count
