An improved package for a medical device includes an inner wrap that envelopes the medical device, the inner wrap including a gas-permeable surface, and a chamber defined in the inner wrap to store a hydratable sensor of the medical device. Plumbing for the package controls fluid flow into and within the inner wrap, to selectively establish, without breaching a portion of the inner wrap surrounding the sensor, fluid communication between the gas-permeable surface and the sensor, to sterilize the sensor and the inner wrap with a gaseous sterilant, or to hydrate the sensor with hydration fluid obtained from a source of hydration fluid connected to the chamber, or to equilibrate the hydration fluid in the chamber with an external source of gas, to calibrate the sensor within the inner wrap.
An improved package for a medical device that includes a hydratable sensor, said package comprising:
In a package for a sterilizable calibratable medical device, a tonometry chamber receiving a sensor component of the medical device, the tonometry chamber comprising:
A method of packaging a medical device that includes a hydratable sensor, the method comprising the steps of:
