Hi,

What is the general working practice when say a class-3 device comes
in vacuum shrinked wrapped with desicant and humidity indicator card
but is in tubes/sticks packaging or even sometimes in reels.

If the whole reel or pack of tubes are not all used up before the floor life
expires and in theory the devices need to be re-processed @ 125 deg-C
for 24-hours??

I am wondering what most companies do regarding oven processing??

Any knowledge of this would be interesting.

Thanks,
