Protection and containment system
Due to the growing concern for product and operator protection and complex regulatory framework of the pharmaceutical industry, it became essential to design the processing equipment together with its containment system.
The aseptic pharmaceutical manufacturing requires the production area free from microbiological and particle contamination.
In accordance with these standards, Dara Pharma has developed a wide range of products for different environmental conditions and levels of protection:
It is a dynamic barrier of HEPA-filtered unidirectional air flow to sweep particles away from the filling/closing area.
The line must operate in a clean room grade B or higher.
A physical barrier between the operator and the product in addition to the dynamic barrier of HEPA-filtered airflow (LAF), composed of a glass cabinet, gloves, transfer ports, etc.
The air is taken in and expelled directly into the room where the equipment operates.
The line must operate in a clean room grade B or higher.
A physical and hermetic barrier between the operator and the product. The air is recirculated through a dedicated return air ductwork in a sealed chamber.
The system allows working at different pressure levels (higher/lower) that the surrounding environment, and monitors and controls the system (H,P,T, Hr etc.).
The line must operate in a clean room grade B or higher.
It is the highest available level of containment for both sterile and toxic products, equipped with a hermetic chamber, rapid transfer ports (RTP) and predefined action protocols. The system features a dedicated decontamination system (VHP), differential pressure adjustment, relative humidity & temperature control, particle sampling among other operating parameters. It allows operation in an ISO 8 or class D classified room.
Particle level (> 0.5 μm) less than 3,520 particles / m³.
Vertical air flow laminarity.
Humidity control.
Temperature control.
Air recirculation.
Cleaning and decontamination procedures.
