VisionScan 3D

• Non-destructive, deterministic blister leak test device designed to test all foil types
• Incorporates patented 3D technology that can detect leaks in individual blister pockets, channel leaks and weak seals down to a 5μm laser drilled pin hole (pack and material dependent)
• Tool-less device making it ideal for production lines running multiple products
• Large test area (297x210mm) provides high throughput
• Can test multiple packs per test cycle
• Can test packs that contain tablets / capsules in multiple material / design formats

• Streamlined validation process for different foil types
• Rapid test time down to 60 seconds for micron holes and as low as 30 seconds for gross holes
• Simple operator use via a touch screen interface
• Operating system can store unlimited product types
• Network connectivity to a central server
• Can form part of 21CFR part 11 compliant system
• Capable of storing and exporting data for audit and quality control purposes
• Active Directory and flexible reporting built-in

Drug stability testing in laboratories
R&D departments test materials to ensure the correct materials are used to protect new products from contamination by moisture, air and bacteria.

QA Testing of packaging processes
Build leak tests into Quality Assurance procedures for your blister packaging line. Objective seal testing maintains compliance and ensures the integrity of the packaging process. VisionScan 3D ensures protection from moisture, air and bacteria and allows investigation of atypical results.

Reduce production rejects
Minimise reject blisters and waste disposal created in pharmaceutical production and packaging facilities by carrying out leak testing more frequently. Earlier detection of a leak means line operators can troubleshoot the cause of a leak before large volumes of faulty blisters are produced.

Non-destructive test generates less waste and bigger product yield

• The test method is clean and dry, unlike other destructive leak testing methods (eg Methylene Blue Dye Test), and does not destroy test product or packaging.
• Tested product can be retrieved from faulty packs and repackaged.
• Packs which pass the leak test can be put back onto the production line

Tool-less device

• Can test multiple pack formats as no tooling is required

Accurate, validated results for each pocket

• Detects holes down to 5μm*
• Totally objective results as no operator intervention is required
• Pass or fail criteria can be set to the same micron level as your existing Blue Dye Test.
• Result data is stored and can be printed or downloaded to other storage devices for further analysis.

*Pack and material dependent

Quicker troubleshooting for line set-up to reduce rejects

• Fast test cycle means that leak testing can be carried out more frequently.
• Earlier detection of leaks allows line operators to investigate the cause of the failed seal more quickly, so fewer faulty packs are produced on the line.

Fast payback by reducing waste

• Users of the Sepha VisionScan 3D can expect a ROI of less than one year when replacing the methylene blue dye test

Easy to use

• No special technical skills required.
• Touch screen operator interface.
