Non-Destructive Vial Integrity TestingProtect every vial with a state-of-the-art, non-destructive instrument using helium as the test medium. The system supports precision leak detection to ensure seal quality, minimizing product loss and contamination risks. Each specimen is tested individually, offering optimal accuracy for glass or plastic vials.
Seamless Compliance and Data ManagementEngineered for compliance with USP <1207> and ISO 11607, this instrument guarantees your quality assurance processes meet stringent regulatory standards. Efficient data output via USB or RS232 interfaces ensures secure archiving and traceability of every result, backed by automatic and manual calibration for consistent performance.
User-Friendly Interface and Fast ResultsOperate effortlessly with a digital LCD touchscreen, audible and visual alarms, and an ergonomic design. The device delivers accurate results in less than 3 seconds per test, streamlining QA/QC workflows and supporting decision-making with instant, reliable data.
FAQ's of Improving Vial Seal Integrity with Non-Destructive Testing Instrument:
Q: How does the helium leak detection method ensure vial seal integrity?
A: The helium leak detection process introduces helium as a tracer gas around the sealed vial. The instrument uses a high-sensitivity sensor to detect even the tiniest leaks by measuring helium that escapes from the vial, ensuring any compromised seals are promptly identified without damaging the specimen.
Q: What types and sizes of vials can be tested with this instrument?
A: This device is suitable for testing both glass and plastic vials ranging from 2 ml to 100 ml in volume, making it versatile for various pharmaceutical and medical device packaging needs.
Q: When should I calibrate the instrument and is calibration automatic?
A: Calibration should be performed before critical testing routines or as recommended by SOPs. The instrument supports both automatic and manual calibration, ensuring accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards at all times.
Q: Where is this testing instrument commonly used?
A: It is widely employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical device QA/QC laboratories, and packaging validation sectors, especially where regulatory compliance to USP <1207> and ISO 11607 is required.
Q: What are the main process steps during a vial integrity test?
A: Place the specimen on the pedestal, set the necessary parameters via the touchscreen, initiate the test in automatic mode, and review results displayed on the digital LCD-results are further backed by audible and visual alarms. Data can then be exported for record-keeping.
Q: How does using this non-destructive testing benefit my quality assurance program?
A: It allows rapid and precise identification of vial leaks without harming samples, reducing waste and supporting batch release confidence. Automated operation, high detection sensitivity, and full data traceability streamline your QA/QC requirements and ensure regulatory compliance.
Q: What environmental and specimen conditions are required for optimal use?
A: For best performance, operate the instrument in environments with temperatures between 10C and 40C and relative humidity up to 75%. It supports vials pressurized with gas from 0.1 to 0.6 MPa and can test one specimen at a time for optimal accuracy.
