PTI VeriPac 325 for Non-Destructive Leak Testing of BPC and API Containers
Tuckahoe, NY (April 19, 2007) – Packaging Technologies & Inspection (PTI) will exhibit the VeriPac Model 325 inspection system at the Interphex Show running April 24 – 26 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, New York, NY, PTI Booth 4459.
Heinz Wolf, general manager for PTI, states “The VeriPac 325 has proven to be the ultimate front-to-back leak testing solution for the pharmaceutical industry. Using non-destructive vacuum decay leak testing technology, test chambers are designed to accommodate the full range of container and package types used throughout the pharmaceutical industry including BPC (Bulk Pharmaceutical Chemical) and API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) containers and bags as well as unit dose bottles, cups, vials and ampoules. Test components are optimized according to the type of package being tested and the level of sensitivity required. This versatility offers a tremendous advantage to companies looking for a reliable all around leak testing solution that can be implemented at various stages of the drug manufacturing process, starting at the bulk level.”
The VeriPac 325 inspection system utilizes an ASTM approved vacuum decay leak test method (F2338-05) recognized by the FDA as a consensus standard for package integrity testing. This test method was developed using PTI’s VeriPac leak test instruments.
Wolf adds, “In recent years the number of recalls due to defects that compromise package integrity and sterility as well as problems with container closures have escalated. Package integrity testing using destructive inspection methods are time consuming and unreliable, producing results that are dependent on technique, sample preparation and operator variability. VeriPac leak test systems are an ideal QA/QC process control tool. Since testing is non-destructive, it allows for increased sampling and offers fast, precise and repeatable test results.”
Packaging Technologies & Inspection (PTI) is a leading manufacturer of non-destructive inspection technologies for the pharmaceutical, medical device, food and container industries. Recognized as a thought leader in new delivery systems for seal, package and container integrity testing, PTI has set the standard for inspection systems that provide repeatable, reliable results. Having a PTI inspection solution in place for QA/QC process control guarantees that your package is “fit for purpose” from manufacturing through distribution.
