VeriPac Vacuum Decay Leak Testing High Voltage Leak Detection – Offline and 100% Online Solutions
Heinz Wolf, general manager of PTI Inspection Systems, commented, “Case studies in the field of container closure integrity using VeriPac vacuum decay technology have proven it is an effective, beneficial non-destructive leak test method to inspect pharmaceutical packaging. This technology has been widely recognized in published literature by the PDA, ASTM as well as the U.S. FDA regulatory guidance and consensus standards. High Voltage Leak Detection (HVLD) technology has been very successful in the pharmaceutical industry for micro leak testing liquid filled products such as ampoules, vials, BFS containers, syringes and pouches. The HVLD test method ensures product seal integrity by identifying small pinholes, micro cracks and seal imperfections that cannot visually be seen. Another advantage is the HVLD method can be easily migrated from the laboratory offline to 100% inline testing applications at high production speeds. This is a huge advantage and overall implifies the inspection and validation process.
" PTI has partnered with Nikka USA to promote their HVLD high voltage inspection technology. The E-Scan 625 Micro Leak Detection System is an offline lab instrument designed to inspect individual samples for micro leaks and sealing defects. Testing is non-destructive and non-invasive. The compact bench top design is ideal for laboratory testing and R&D purposes. For more information, visit http://pdaannualmeeting.org/
