Given the evolutionary phase that theranostics is going through, characterized by a strong increase in production and a consequent increase in safety standards, we have developed the Inspection Module to respond to new quality control needs and a new workflow.
The effectiveness of the process and its validity also depend on accurate and complete data management. Consequently, each vial is initially identified by a QR code and subsequently labeled, in order to be traceable at each step of the process and within its entire production center, avoiding any mismatch risk. To manage the complexity of the data, the zenon software has been integrated: this system allows you to manage all the reporting directly within the customer's corporate network and track the process phases, thus facilitating the sharing of information and the structuring of data.
The Inspection Module process is divided into four phases:
Immediately afterwards, the operator transfers the vial to the lower part of the Inspection Module via an automatic lift, where a printer applies a label to the vial to be able to identify it again. Finally, the labeled vial is reinserted into the lead pot, ready to be extracted from the Inspection Module. Once outside, the operator applies the second label on the lead pot, identifying it uniquely and definitively.
Thanks to this technology, radiopharmaceuticals can be administered with the certainty that all quality standards have been respected during the production phase. This new automated quality control solution represents a concrete example of how starting from the customers’ needs, it is possible to achieve highly efficient solutions able to respond to the new market needs. Thanks to this approach, it has been possible to solve specific problems in this field - that requires ever greater precision - by anticipating any future need.
