Description

Packaging system leakproofness microorganism challenge test device

Technical Field

Background

With the development of the industry, the packaging tightness is more and more emphasized in a system for guaranteeing the product sterility, the existing packaging system tightness test needs to carry out deterministic leak test technical verification and probabilistic leak test technical verification, a microorganism challenge test is an important part of the probabilistic leak test technology, and other technologies mainly adopt physical technologies. Physical techniques are mature, and various methods and specific test schemes and parameters can be selected, but the microbial challenge test still lacks the corresponding specific test schemes and parameters.

According to research, most of pharmaceutical enterprises adopt a microorganism challenge test for package tightness by directly immersing a package containing a culture medium into a bacterium liquid, but the operation cannot guarantee complete immersion of a product, and the worst condition of the challenge test is simulated. Many regulations also indicate that the microbiological challenge test of package sealability tests requires sufficient immersion time and the creation of a pressure differential inside and outside the product package to simulate worst case conditions. There is a lack of a microbial challenge test device in the market that can be applied to create a pressure differential.
