The regulatory focus on QRM (cf. ICHQ9 and the new Annex 1 written by EMA in cooperation with the US-FDA, WHO and PICs) also applies to filter integrity testing, as a fundamental element of sterility assurance. The Sartocheck® 5 Plus Filter Tester uses program specific parameters allowing the automatic identification of testing anomalies in advance or during the test.
Integrity testing often involves the use of chemicals and hazardous materials. The Sartocheck® 5 Plus is certified for use in explosion hazardous areas (ATEX) and is compatible with all current cleaning agents and VHP. This ensures maximum safety for operators and manufacturing facilities. The combination of a unique approach to quality risk management (QRM) as well as optimal data integrity, intuitiveness and minimized risk factors for health, safety and the environment (HSE) has set a new standard for filter integrity testing devices.
