ABSTRACT

A method for monitoring the sealing of a container in a system or device is
described. The method includes the following steps: controlling the heating
element to heat a heating stamp to a predetermined sealing temperature,
monitoring the temperature of the heating stamp, determining a temperature
over time curve of the heating stamp by means of at least one temperature
sensor, determining at least one characteristic of the temperature over time
curve, comparing the determined at least one characteristic of the temperature
over time curve with a reference value, and determining a sealing property of
the sealing of the container based on said comparison of the determined at
least one characteristic of the temperature over time curve with the reference
value.
