About us
KiiP is a fast-growing organization of passionate individuals who are breaking down the silo walls in the healthcare packaging and sterility assurance value chain - from medical device manufacturers through to the end-user and healthcare professionals. Coming out of J&J’s Kilmer Conference, a group of eight people formed KiiP to lead the way to innovations in medical device packaging into the future - while breaking barriers between the groups in the sterility value chain to point of use. KiiP Vision: Improving patient outcomes by advancing healthcare packaging science, engineering, and understanding KiiP Mission: Challenging the status quo by facilitating collaboration, sharing knowledge, and promoting innovation and education throughout the healthcare packaging value chain Executive Committee: Chair - Jennifer Benolken, CPPL Vice Chair - Treasurer - Dhuanne Dodrill Secretary - Ralph Basile Programs: Breaking Bad Biases (formerly LSTU) - John Logar, Jen Benolken Last 100 Yards - Jennifer Zeck, Hanna Harris, Teri Meadow Aseptic Opening and Handling - Sarah Rosenblum, Malinda Elammari Sustainability and End of Life - Kiley Djupstrom, Amit Limaye Committees: KiiP'ED - Tanya Magana, Pieter van Gool Membership - Kat Olson, Seema Momin, Tyler Boyd Communications and Branding- Kennedy Peacock Funding - Kiley Djupstrom, Chris Sarantos Negative or inflammatory comments will not be tolerated. This is a place for people to share, collaborate, and build upon other’s ideas regarding sterile packaging - getting it sterile and keeping it sterile to point of use. Thank you and keep the momentum going! We can’t wait to see what this group brings!

KiiPsters! This would be a great event to listen to!
FDA’s last Sterilization Town Hall, which they are hosting on Wednesday, December 4th from 2-3:30pm. It is a full event, with two short topics of interest and a series wrap up. Topics include: 1. New Transitional Enforcement Policy for Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Facility Changes for Class III Devices Guidance that just published on 11/26 2. Research and modeling on diffusion of vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) through select polymeric materials After these topics, panelists will share some final updates and then discuss the overall series content and impact, and end with some thoughts on next steps. You can find the event page here: https://lnkd.in/gMyJ4ZYS They’ll provide that overview and context as we move forward into 2025 in their goal to reduce reliance on ethylene oxide and move to alternative sterilization modalities, and to accelerate healthcare innovation while also ensuring that patients and providers have access to the safe, effective and sterile medical devices they need. Please feel free to forward this information to interested parties. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach back or send them along to MedicalDeviceSterilization@fda.hhs.gov.
