Ampoule inspection system PATERA

for vialsfor syringes

PATERA Parenterals QI is used on packaging and labelling machines to eject defective products and to exclude the possibility of sub-mixing with foreign products. The system inspects pharmaceutical packaging for injection purposes such as ampoules, vials, syringes and carpules whose contents are administered bypassing the digestive tract, i.e. by injection. For this inspection task, scanware has developed a new user interface based on artificial intelligence (AI). ■Inspection Criteria and Objects Inspection objects: Carpules Examination criteria: Ampoules: Number of colour rings, quality of the ring colours and presence of the label Carpules: Presence and colour of the cap and presence of the label. Vials: presence and colour of cap and presence of label Syringes: Presence and quality of needle cap, condition of finger grips and plunger, distance of plunger rod to finger grips and presence of label. ■Advantages of the Parenterals Inspection The PATERA Parenterals QI packaging inspection system inspects parenterals using artificial intelligence-based vision technology. This allows different packaging units containing medicines for intravenous administration to be inspected in parallel, both in mixed blisters and individually. In addition, the labels are inspected in the same step. This means that quick product changes are possible at any time with the highest level of inspection reliability. For manufacturers and packagers of infusion solutions and other medicinal products for parenteral use, the system offers the reliability for which scanware has been known in blister and label inspection for over three decades.
