Claims16
A medical device assembly comprising:
- a medical device;
- a fluid;
- a package forming a storage compartment, which at least partly accommodates the medical device, and a fluid compartment, housing the fluid, wherein a first joint separates the storage compartment and the fluid compartment, the first joint forming a first rupture zone;
- an additional outer layer arranged to at least partly cover the fluid compartment, wherein said additional outer layer is joined to the package by a second joint, wherein at least part of the second joint forms a second rupture zone;
- wherein the strength and/or location of the second rupture zone is adapted to ensure that compression of the fluid within the sealed and closed internal cavity for release of said fluid results in opening of said first rupture zone in a state where the package at and in the vicinity of the first rupture zone is unconnected to the additional outer layer.

A method for manufacturing a medical device assembly comprising:
- providing a package forming a storage compartment and a fluid compartment;
- arranging a medical device in said storage compartment;
- arranging a fluid in said fluid compartment;
- separating said fluid compartment and said storage compartment a first joint, the first joint forming a first rupture zone;
