Our Solution
The SA-41 and SA-61 automated autoinjector test system from Automationspartner ensures a precise product quality control and is easy to operate. The SA fulfills requirements by relevant authorities which state that combination products (autoinjectors) must be tested by the legal manufacturer prior to batch release. The test system is designed for GMP ISO Class 8 production environments and performs the testing according to the ISO-standards. The system is designed for autoinjectors such as the Molly and DAI autoinjectors from SHL Group, and the Ypsomate autoinjector from Ypsomed. Autoinjectors with similar designs can also be tested in the system. Four to six autoinjectors can be loaded into the system for automated testing (more as an option). Automationspartner also offers the same functionality in automated in-line process control (IPC) systems, integrated into our autoinjector assembly lines.
Benefits
- Quick batch releases close to the production line
- Operator QA competence not needed
- Standard automation components ensure a flexible solution
- Easy to adapt to specific customer requirements
- PLC platform ensures software stability
Rapid Testing in 2.5 min
Our automated autoinjector test systems streamline your autoinjector assembly line. Within 2.5 minutes, the system can load four autoinjectors, run all standard tests on each unit and output the results in a batch report.
