Automation in the production of medical devices for IVD

Automated processes are the capstone of our most challenging projects. At SGH Healthcaring, we bring value on top of our injection expertise by designing and implementing Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Our in-house RPA team identifies operational steps that can be streamlined by using technology, robotics and modern computing: it is all about finding the right compromise between Price / Quality / Efficiency / Volumes (to be secured). RPA systems make new levels of accuracy and flexibility possible when marking, assembling, conditioning and controlling medical devices and plastic consumables.
Let’s emphasize our RPA approach through the example of our newest fully automated cleanroom for IVD consumables!

Direct API filling, advantages of a new trend

At Harro Höfliger we see the trend of direct API filling with solid powders for the development phase and beyond. Under direct API filling, we understand that there is no need for any additional blending process with excipients. Special technology from Harro Höfliger enables you to dose poor flowing powders.

Reducing your time to market of Injectable drug delivery containment in collaborating early in clinical stage

Pharma & biotech companies focus on research & discovery of molecules, but the delivery system is often forgotten in the development process. In the early stages of clinical development (phase I), it can be beneficial to discuss different packaging options for the targeted patient populations taking into account the challenges associated with the drug molecules (concentration, dose, dry, liquid/liquid, etc…) with the associated manufacturing concerns.
 
Thus, defining injectable delivery needs and expectations, while simultaneously working with a capable partner, are more than recommended.

Deterministic technology for container closure integrity testing – MicroCurrent HVLD solutions from the lab to production

As industry demands associated with container closure integrity testing (CCIT) are becoming more dynamic, solutions that can adapt are more instrumental than ever. These forward-thinking advancements have driven the shift of focus towards modern, deterministic technologies. This presentation reviewed alternative technology options, with a special focus on MicroCurrent HVLD technology for parenteral products, and data integrity compliance capabilities that are critical due to a wide variety of applications and regulatory requirements.

Euroject®: an innovative BFS-based device for single dose injection of therapeutics

Recent innovations have opened up the possibility of using BFS technology to design aseptic packaging systems combining the efficiency of high-throughput production with the highest guarantees of sterility. The result is a new type of pre-filled, single-dose disposable device that can be produced in very large numbers with a high-speed rotary machine, at very low production costs. Euroject® can contribute to greater equity in access to new vaccines and to ensuring safe vaccine administration, while being simple and cost effective.
