Manual and semi-automated inspection solutions
Manual inspection is the cornerstone of visual inspection. It is still the most common method for performing visual inspection of parenteral liquids. It sets the benchmark for an acceptable product and establishes the baseline for validation. Manual inspection hoods from Syntegon are ideally suited for small lots, re-inspection of rejects/ejects, and batch releases. The VIS semi-automated visual inspection series is the perfect hybrid solution between manual inspection and automated inspection.
The MIH-Port is equipped with a black and white background, and a uniform, non-glaring light source, optimizing the inspector's ability to identify particle and cosmetic defects while minimizing fatigue. LED lighting and a reversible gray background are standard for this model. The white base with padded elbow rests can be closed for compact storage or portability using the carrying handle.
Benefits:
- Compact handling and storage: foldable and portable
- Padded elbow rests aid inspector comfort and avoids inspection fatigue
- Overhead lighting options: Single light intensity slim LED lighting, dual light intensity LED lighting, or adjustable intensity white LED lighting
The MIH DX features stainless steel construction with courtesy side shields, adjustable non-glaring black and white background, acoustical foam-lined interior, and two single light intensity LED lighting fixtures
Benefits:
- Better light conditions due to side shields
- Available with Tyndall light to accentuate glass cracks, stones and chips, also well suited for suspensions
- Option: 1.75x magnifier
- Overhead lighting options: Single light intensity slim LED lighting, dual light intensity LED lighting, or adjustable intensity white LED lighting
The MIH-DL is an advanced manual inspection system that provides an optimal environment for the inspection of difficult to inspect parenteral drugs.
Benefits:
- Upper and lower lighting provides homogeneous lighting to aid in inspection of various products
- LED lighting features isotropic lensing which produces even illumination with minimal hotspots or glare.
- Matte black aluminum construction minimizes glare
The MIH LX features a programmable inspection time/pacing system with sensor verification of the container and inspector’s hand in the inspection zone. Other standard features include matte, black-finished aluminum construction, non-glaring black and white with reversible gray background, a white base with padded elbow rests and two single light intensity LED lighting fixtures.
Benefits:
- Height-adjustable lighting and background
- Timer, two LED indicator lamps, two position-sensitive infrared photoelectric sensors, one alarm buzzer, one "Timer Reset" button and an operator interface panel
- Option: 1.75x magnifier
- Overhead lighting options: Single light intensity slim LED lighting, dual light intensity LED lighting, or adjustable intensity white LED lighting
The MIH-1 workstation provides a productive work environment by improving the lighting and ergonomics and minimizing co-worker interruptions or other distracting influences. An aluminum frame with casters is equipped with a lift system allowing rapid height adjustment from 30 to 46 in. (76 to 117 cm) for inspection from standing or sitting positions.
Benefits:
- Ergonomic design
- Adjustable side trays or tub holders (for syringes)
- Electrically operated lift mechanism to facilitate ergonomic working positions
- Side shields for better light conditions
- Options: 1.75X (3 Diopter) Magnification Lens mounted on adjustable swing arm, Tyndall Light with variable adjustment and Black Hole background to improve illumination of particles
- Overhead lighting options: Single light intensity slim LED lighting, dual light intensity LED lighting, or adjustable intensity white LED lighting
The MIH-1S is a variant of our MIH-1 manual inspection system that provides an optimal environment for inspection of sterile injectable products in vial, ampoule, syringe and cartridge containers. It serves as a standalone inspection station and has a lift system for height adjustment.
This 36” (91,4 cm) wide model is designed to fit in smaller spaces and allows our clients the flexibility to have a standalone unit in spaces where our standard 60” (152,4 cm) model would be too large.
Benefits:
- Ergonomic design
- Electrically operated lift mechanism to facilitate ergonomic working positions
- Side shields for better light conditions
- Option: 1.75X (3 Diopter) magnification lens mounted on adjustable swing arm, Tyndall Light with variable adjustment and black hole background to improve illumination of particles
- Overhead lighting options: Single light intensity slim LED lighting, dual light intensity LED lighting, or adjustable intensity white LED lighting
The MIH-IV features a sliding hook, which enables the operator to hang the IV bag for inspection. The hook easily slides for a seamless transition from one side of the black and white background to the next. This motion triggers particulate movement, enhances inspection capability and operator ergonomics.
Benefits:
- Light housing with a ten turn position light adjustment with a lock-in knob and pivoting lighting mount
- Inspects IV bags up to 2,000 ml (2 liters)
-
Options: Additional lower lighting fixture
The APK is a table-top visual observation tool for particle inspection. We offer different models with various lighting systems, spin functions and additional special features depending on your requirements, container type and the size range.
Benefits:
- Validation of test samples to evaluate the performance of an automated inspection system
- Small batch visual inspection
- Verification of product rejects
- Particle type / size analysis
VIS 200 and VIS 500 semi-automated inspection systems facilitate visual inspection of vials containing liquids, powdered or lyophilized products, as well as empty vials. Compared to the manual system, the VIS series achieves higher inspection rates and reduces operator fatigue. Vials are moved into an optimized viewing area and rotated. Accepted or rejected vials are sent into separate areas, as manually directed by the operator.
Benefits:
- Higher throughput than typical manual inspection processes
- Tyndall lighting with adjustable light intensity facilitates the detection of particulate matter
- Adjustable top mirror for cap inspection, and bottom mirror for heel inspection
