West employees have forged a strong bond with many of the local organizations they support through the West without Borders fundraising initiative.
This is particularly the case with Fortschritt Städteregion Aachen e.V. Employees at the four West sites in Germany continued their relationship with this worthwhile organization in 2015 and raised €3,762 to help them finance special therapy furniture that was made in Hungary.
The commitment from employees didn’t stop with financial support alone. Because they wanted to make sure that the furniture was delivered directly to the organization, West reached out to Hammer—an international transportation and logistics company—and secured free delivery of the furniture from Hungary to Stolberg, Germany.
In order to thank West and Hammer in person, FortSchritt invited representatives from both companies to its facility for a small reception on February 1. Heino Lennartz, Vice President and General Manager, Global Pharma, took the opportunity to present Wolfgang Tim Hammer, Chief Executive Officer, Hammer with a framed keepsake to underline their joint charitable efforts.
The visit also provided an opportunity for guests to attend a conductive education session, hear about the organization’s many success stories, and meet its members. To learn more about West without Borders and the company’s culture of giving, visit the West website.
Glucose monitoring, or measuring the amount of sugar in the blood, is a vital part of everyday care for those suffering from diabetes. Traditional tests require patients to prick their fingers and place a drop of blood on a test strip. The strip is then placed in a glucose meter that reports the results to the patient. While this test is very accurate, it offers a reading for only a single point in time. For patients to get a range of their blood glucose levels, more frequent data is needed at a variety of different times.

As advancements in pharmaceutical technology increase in the use of automated injection systems for health care treatment, traditional glass vials, syringes and cartridges must withstand higher automated delivery forces and pressures. The fragile nature and dimensional variability in wall thickness of glass components may lead to breakage, which presents challenges to automatic administration systems.
Container closure integrity (CCI) is a fundamental requirement of every sterile drug package. Recently, the United States Pharmacopeia Convention (USP) published a guidance in this area that, among other key topics, addresses test methods in detail: Chapter <1207> Package Integrity Evaluation – Sterile Products. However, proper test method is only one aspect of achieving good CCI.
