Sterile Pack Yield at 99% target sterile pack pass rate: a worked example

This scenario runs the sterile pack yield calculation on the strong side: 99% target sterile pack pass rate, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when sterile pack yield in veterinary device and animal health products needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Conforming sterile packs passing final inspection: 8 count (unchanged)
  • Total sterile packs sampled from the lot: 250 count (unchanged)
  • Target sterile pack pass rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Sterile pack yield rate = sterile pack yield count ÷ total sterile pack yield population × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for sterile pack yield rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for sterile pack yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for sterile pack yield count.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total sterile pack yield population.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target sterile pack pass rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • Use it at lot release, after a sealer changeover, or when a new pouch or Tyvek lid stock is introduced and you need to confirm the barrier system is holding. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Sterile pack yield rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
  • Sterile pack yield gap to target: 95.8 points
  • Sterile pack yield count: 8 count
  • Total sterile pack yield population: 250 count
