General

Isolators for sterile applications are designed to provide clean conditions and protect the product or the process while working with substances that require sterile conditions.

Advantages

  • More than 25 years of experience in isolation technology
  • Innovative equipment integration solutions
  • Tested and validated subsystems used, provide the certainty of achieving the necessary level of protection
  • Solutions for details that significantly affect the ability to provide clean conditions

Working principle

Product protection by

  • HEPA filtration of the supply air
  • Bio-decontamination system with hydrogen peroxide
  • Clean material transfer system
  • System for keeping clean conditions when changing gloves
  • Controlled airflow in the working chamber
  • Clean design of the isolator chamber

Control

The solutions of the monitoring systems follow the GMP recommendations and the GAMP 5 guidelines. If necessary they allow compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and adapt to the specific requirements of the customer.

The core of the control system is the SIEMENS controller, which, with its I / O, ensures controlled and safe operation of the system. The user interface is implemented through the touch screen, where the user chooses the modes of operation or gives the PLC system commands, and controls them executively. The system can be connected via the ethernet connection to the subscriber's network. Through this connection, the system obtains access data, access to the disk for storing reports and events (Audit Trail), remote access to the panel is also possible. If the system is not connected to the customer's network, the data is stored on the internal medium and the approach is limited by local users.

For more demanding equipment, the management and control of GMP parameters is provided through the iFIX SCADA control system. In this case, the customer may control data individually. With the parallel use of the touch screen, all parameters and functions can be monitored and controlled on the panel, of course, with the appropriate access restriction.

For the needs of the periphery, communication of the device with a higher control system of the customer can be planned.

Specifications

The design and configuration of the isolator is adapted to the process that takes place in the isolator. For the design of the system we use standard subsystems (material transfer, ventilation, filtration, sealing, cleaning ...), which we have developed and tested to the extent to guarantee the necessary level of protection.

In the DQ phase of the project, together with the end user, we perform the MOCK UP test on a model made of steel, where we determine the optimal distribution of elements and dimensions according to the intended process and user.
