PTI's Seal-Scan® and Seal-Sensor® are non-contact airborne ultrasonic testing technologies.  In order to use ultrasonic inspection effectively, it must be possible to place the seal in a direct line between a pair of transducers and move it (or move the transducers) along the seal. The ultrasound is transmitted and reflected at the transition from one media to the next. The greater the acoustic difference between mediums (most evident at a gas to solid transition) the more sound is reflected and the less sound transmitted through. The variation of the material thickness has only a minor effect.

Class III medical devices have a unique set of requirements and package characteristics that need a comprehensive approach to selecting the right inspection method.Advanced approaches for quality assurance of these leading-edge treatments may be needed for a variety of reasons.

PTI has developed a new standard for protecting, storing and presenting data generated from its line of non-destructive leak testers in the form of a software package called PTI Ethos.

VeriPac FLEX Systems are versatile non-destructive package inspection systems designed for pouches and other flexible packaging.

VeriPac 355 is a non-destructive micro leak detection system for container closure integrity and package integrity testing for a wide range of products and packaging formats. This system is specifically designed to test containers for gas leaks for dry products (lyophilized vials, powder filled) as well test for liquid leaks (non-protein based liquid filled vials, prefilled syringes). The VeriPac 355 can be incorporated into protocols at any point in the handling process as it is non-destructive and requires no sample preparation. With the capability to detect leak rates as low as 0.2 cc/min, depending on packaging specifications, the VeriPac 355 is the optimal non-destructive quantitative test method for many pharmaceutical and food applications.

The VeriPac 410 inspection system offers non-destructive seal and leak detection for blister packs, sachets, and pouches with low headspace including transdermal patch packaging

The E-Scan 655 is a revolutionary, deterministic offline microleak testing instrument that utilizes a new class of HVLD technology to inspect vials, syringes, and other liquid-filled parenteral products for container closure integrity.

Multicavity blister packs and low headspace packaging use a variety of test methods to determine package integrity, with most being destructive, subjective, and unreliable.

The VeriPac UBV Leak Detection System is a deterministic, nondestructive technology designed specifically for multicavity blister packs. The VeriPac UBV utilizes volumetric imaging under vacuum to detect the presence and location of leaks. 

VeriPac 455 is a non-destructive inspection system used for highly sensitive micro leak detection of empty and pre-filled syringes, liquid filled and lyophilized vials and other pharmaceutical packaging formats.

PTI’s E-Scan 655 patent pending technology uses a unique mode of MicroCurrent HVLD which applies less than 50% of the voltage used with conventional high voltage technologies. 

A variety of test methods exist to challenge package quality and performance. The goal of a feasibility study is to assure that the right technology and test method are applied to each product application to provide accurate, sensitive, and reliable data for definitive package integrity verification.

The E-Scan 655 is a deterministic offline micro leak test instrument that utilizes a new class of HVLD technology to inspect vials, syringes, and other liquid filled parenteral products for container closure integrity.

The VeriPac UBV Leak Detection System is a deterministic non-destructive technology designed specifically for multi-cavity blister packs for pharmaceutical packaging. The system utilizes volumetric imaging under vacuum to detect the presence and location of leaks.

Seal-Scan® characterizes seals that appear visually acceptable yet possess defects that affect product quality and shelf-life. Seal-Scan systems utilize non-contact airborne ultrasonic technology for seal integrity testing and seal quality analysis of pouches and flexible packaging. Testing is non-destructive, non-invasive and requires no sample preparation.

VeriPac systems can be easily integrated into the packaging process to improve quality, reduce waste, and provide operators with a clear understanding of package quality. VeriPac test systems are non-destructive, non-subjective and require no sample preparation. Test fixtures are designed to inspect flexible and rigid packaging. Tests can be performed in any sequence and even repeatedly on a single sample. VeriPac’s inspection method is more reliable, cost effective and efficient than destructive methods, plus it eliminates subjective, misleading results that vary from operator to operator.

The VeriPac 410 utilizes a combination of vacuum decay technology and differential force measurement to identify defective packages. Multiple packages can be tested in a single test cycle, and the 410 identifies which package or cavity is defective. 

Complementing the high cost of medical device manufacturing, there is a high value placed on the sterility and quality of the final product which are the main reasons for successful integration of Seal-Scan® airborne ultrasound seal inspection for medical device packaging.

Seal-Sensor™ utilizes ultrasound technology that provides non-contact seal inspection solutions for offline laboratory use and high speed 100% online applications. Seal-Sensor is a very rapid, reliable method that provides an instant reading of seal presence and quality.

VeriPac 455 is a non-destructive inspection system that offers unique integrity testing approaches, permitting highly sensitive micro leak detection of empty and pre-filled syringes, liquid filled and lyophilized vials, and other rigid containers. Testing these types of products demands the highest level of sensitivity, repeatability, and accuracy, and the VeriPac 455 is up to the task.

VeriPac 455 is a non-destructive inspection system that offers unique integrity testing approaches, permitting highly sensitive micro leak detection of empty & pre-filled syringes, liquid filled & lyophilized vials and other types of liquid filled packaging.

VeriPac micro leak testers evaluate and analyze the integrity of vials and ampoules with precision and repeatability. Test components are optimized for high sensitivity applications and high resolution requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
