Althena - Criticality Analysis Service
Before being placed on the market, our devices are subjected to various tests, be in compliance with the regulations in force in order to verify achievement of the performance and specific requests of the customer. The tests are carried out both internally and at external laboratories.
For example:
in the case of our Sycare, the pre-fillable syringe in COP, several tests were performed at external institutes, such as:
- ageing;
- airtightness with methylene blue;
- smoothness of the plunger in the piston;
- test in autoclave;
- machinability test (emptying and filling syringes by using automatic machines);
- strength test, to prevent cracks and breakages.
In the case of our Dosecare, oral liquids dispensing device, it was tested by 200 testers who were then asked specific questions to verify all the characteristics of the devices. The following have been performed:
- usability tests, using 200 testers at a specialised institute;
- smoothness test of the piston in the barrel;
- barrel filling test;
- volumetric measurement tests of liquids drawn into the barrel.
The airtightness test carried out on the Sycare confirmed an excellent result with respect to other competitors: the airtightness of Sycare guarantees the liquid inside it for up to 3 years or more from its filling.
