Mechanical test stand measures force precisely
0odular bench top mechanical test stands are intended for accurate force gauge testing up to 500lb (2.2kN) force.
Semi-automatic rig tests inhaler firing mechanisms
A semi-automated solution to test the firing mechanisms of pharmaceutical 'one shot' pressurised metered dose inhaler canisters is believed to be the first of its type developed.
These versatile instruments can be used for tensile, compression, flexural and friction test applications including high volume automated testing.
With hundreds of systems installed in medical device, medical packaging and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants worldwide, Lloyd Instruments experience in medical device testing is immense.
Some of the many application examples include evaluation of hypodermic needles for various parameters including bend strength, needle sharpness and the force required for insertion and extraction, as well as tests on special needles with automated covering devices to prevent needlestick injuries.
Other components tested include needle- free drug delivery systems and flexibility tests on catheter tubing, valve testing on metered dose inhalers and many more.
NEXYGEN MT test and analysis software safeguards data integrity with security audit trails and user level management systems that help manufacturers meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements.
Supervisors can set the desired level of access for operators, who must login at all times, and safeguard against the unauthorised use of passwords.
NEXYGEN software also records full details of all operator logins and logouts, and when each test is created, changed, deleted or aborted.
Audit trails are time stamped to provide an accurate history of data.
Automatic saving and archiving ensures no test data is ever lost, and final reports include the date, time, user ID, system ID, location ID or other supervisor-defined parameters.
