Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT)

cci-pharma

Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) through the product life cycle has been gaining importance in the pharmaceutical industry for several years. Container Closure Integrity is an important factor to maintain sterility and stability of the drug product inside the containers. Automated machines provide an effective way to non-destructively test 100% of all units even of large batches to ensure final product quality.

Key benefits

Product safety is patient safety
Product safety is patient safety
The pharmaceutical container should keep contents in and bacteria or other contaminants out. Use our CCIT solutions to test if each single container is free of leaks and if other quality attributes like headspace oxygen level comply
The appropriate technology for your product
The appropriate technology for your product
We offer laboratory and consulting services that support you in selecting and developing the right method for each product and container before the start of the machine project. After installation, we offer method validation tailored to your application

Inspection solutions from Syntegon for a better life!

Thanks to our long-standing inspection expertise, we offer state-of-the-art visual inspection technologies for manual, semi- and fully automated operations as well as Container Closure Integrity testing solutions.

Laser-based headspace analysis (HSA) measures light absorption by oxygen and/or water vapor molecules and rejects containers with elevated oxygen, pressure or moisture levels. The non-destructive and rapid optical method is perfectly suited to test each container even of large batches. It helps to reliably detect temporary or permanent leaks. The KHS series is based on the highest Syntegon quality standards with HSA technology inside from Lighthouse Instruments. Flexible, modular and user-friendly design ensures optimal accessibility and maintenance.

Benefits:

  • Compact platform for 100% CCI testing covering a large format range (2R to 250 ml)
  • High detection and low false rejects rate through automatic calibration, re-inspection and separate eject for too dirty containers (optional)
  • Retrofit of HSA modules, formats and products possible

About us


Syntegon supports you in selecting the appropriate testing method individually for each drug product and container type. A thorough understanding of the application is paramount: What is the maximum allowable leak limit (MALL)? How is the leakage behavior related to storage conditions and other process parameters? What are the drug product properties, like conductivity or oxygen sensitivity? We are happy to consult you to find the perfect match - assisted by sample test studies where needed.

We were able to systematically identify and adapt crucial sections within our filling and sealing processes, to make them more stable and reduce the number of unnecessary rejects even further. In fact, our performance is increasing from week to week.”
- Philippe Truelle, CEO of CDM Lavoisier

CDM Lavoisier decided to change their inspection processes for no less than 30 products in four different packaging formats. They are now all inspected on the vision+CCIT machine AIM 3311 from Syntegon.
