In praise of careful readers

Among the more thoughtful letters we’ve received recently is one that comes from Curtis Larsen, a principal in Spartan Design Group, an engineering consultant firm specializing in medical products packaging. He astutely observed that features editor Jim Butschli erred in his description of the impact a proposed FDA guidance draft will have. Because Larsen’s letter has at its core an important reminder of how important it is to maintain a separation between drugs, biologics, and medical device packaging, we felt it appropriate to include his letter here. To say that we value the input of such engaged readers would be a gross understatement.

Dear Editors,

In Packaging World’s August 2009 page 61 article, “Insights into FDA’s process validation guidance draft,” a reference to medical device makers could cause a bit of concern and/or confusion.
