Study Day Success

The first helapet.net study day of the third series ‘Managing the risks in the preparation of aseptic products’, was a resounding success.

27 delegates spent an informative day at Wroxall Abbey enjoying a mix of presentations and workshops on best practice in aseptic environments. Topics covered were real risks and governance of IV’s, assuring the quality of PN, effective inspection and release and a practical workshop on CAPA and root cause analysis.

Our thanks go to guest Speakers, Tim Sizer, Mark Oldcorne, Richard Needle and Paul Tunstell, who all did a fabulous job on making the day a success.

The 2nd day in this series is planned for the 18th November 2009 – there are still some spaces available and if you would like to attend, please call 0800 0328 428 to book.

Improved packaging for aseptic disposables

We have upgraded our cleanroom packaging facility by investing in a state of the art bespoke vacuum packaging machine to meet the increased demands for sterile packaging within controlled environments.

The machines remove the air from each pack during the packaging process ensuring that microbial particulates are extracted, before sealing securely with a validated heat seal.

Products that benefit from the new cleaner and more secure packaging process are pharmapack bulk packed syringes, individually sterile wrapped sharps bins and pharmacy prep trays.
