Enhancing the reliability of each process involving rapid transfer systems: this is the goal that drove Tema Sinergie to develop an extremely innovative technology for performing integrity tests on RTP systems.
The solution is called ZEROC, the new Automatic Verification System developed by Tema Sinergie to test the integrity of Rapid Transfer Ports installed on isolators or RABS (Alpha part) and their containers (Beta part).
Rapid Transfer Ports: Zero Ring Of Concern
The name itself reflects the goals set during the development of such an innovative system. ZEROC combines “Zero” and “ROC,” where ROC stands for “Ring of Concern,” a specific ring-shaped area in RTP systems that has long been a source of contamination concerns.
ZEROC is designed to support pharmaceutical companies in managing their Control Contamination Strategy (CCS). It’s a breakthrough in a market increasingly focused on addressing the critical risks associated with RTP devices but which, until now, lacked the tools to effectively address these challenges.
ZEROC and AGLTS 2, different objectives, one product family
While ZEROC can be considered a pioneering system capable of addressing emerging needs and anticipating future regulatory frameworks, it is also a technically robust and proven solution. ZEROC was developed from one of Tema Sinergie’s most reliable and successful projects: the glove tester AGLTS 2.
The two systems share several features, including design, ergonomics, components, functionalities, and data management logic, making them part of the same product family. This connection not only enhances ZEROC’s reliability but also allows for simplified device management and testing procedures for clients and operators.
Operators who are already familiar with AGLTS 2 will find ZEROC easy to handle, as it operates with the same methods and procedures, leading to significant savings in time and training resources. New customers will also benefit from the ability to use two testing tools dedicated to different areas of the isolator (gloves and rapid transfer systems) with the same interface and operating principles. Additionally, both devices can be integrated into a single data management system, significantly improving efficiency.
