Final packaging is often the last process step before a product leaves a factory. Any failure in the process at this point puts the cost of the finished and filled drug at risk, as well as the capacity of the process.
Vision inspection of final packaging components offers a way to improve yields and increase capacity. Upgrading to these components can help to reduce end-of-line variability and improve processes.To determine if adding vision inspection to packaging components is the right thing for your drug product, ask yourself three simple questions:
If you answered yes to these questions, then moving to vision-inspected packaging components may be a good choice. Reducing variability can improve quality and yield, can reduce product cost and time spent investigating non-conforming batches. Selecting vision-inspected components also can increase capacity.
West is a pioneer in vision inspection technology. The Envision™ automated inspection system can enhance the quality of Westar® ready-to-sterilize components by significantly reducing adhered and embedded particulate, helping to improve consistency.
Many of our standard products are available in Envision-verified formats – an upgrade that can be made simply by talking to your sales representative as there’s no need for a complex development agreement or regulatory change burden. Many of West’s current items are available with Envision verification, enabling you to benefit from the advantages of a tighter specification and reduced end-of-line component failure risks while preserving all the features of your current formulation, configuration, finishing, packaging and other key details. This approach to upgrade, which leaves the fundamentals of your component’s production and preparation unchanged, is not associated with any additional testing or regulatory change burden.

The plunger rod is a fundamental feature of a complete syringe drug delivery system. There are three key functional characteristics that all pharmaceutical manufacturers should consider when determining the appropriate plunger rod for a specific drug product and syringe system.
Lyophilization (freeze drying) is the process of dehydrating a drug product at low temperature and reduced pressure. Absent water, degradation processes are greatly reduced; thus, it helps to enhance drug product stability. Moisture-sensitive drug products are often marketed in lyophilized form. For a primary package system, the selection of appropriate components is essential to prevent risks associated with alteration of the lyophilized drug product prior to reconstitution and use.
A European Customer Satisfaction Study conducted in 2012 offered West customers a chance to be heard, and provided a contribution to the José Carreras Leukämie-Stiftung (José Carreras Leukemia Foundation) based in Munich, Germany. The EU-wide study was conducted as an online survey and ran throughout the summer. To encourage customer participation, West made a charitable contribution for each completed survey. Thanks to a high level of customer participation (customers from 28 countries provided feedback), West was able to generate €2,260 (more than $3,000) for the charity.
