How does SMEPAC testing differ from traditional containment testing methods?
SMEPAC provides standardized, quantitative metrics for comparing containment performance across different equipment types using controlled test materials and validated protocols, while traditional testing methods often rely on product-specific testing without standardized benchmarking capabilities.
What methods do you use to simulate worst-case operational scenarios?
We employ engineered challenge tests using validated surrogate materials under exaggerated operating conditions including higher processing speeds, extended durations, and maximum payload capacities to identify potential failure modes and establish proper safety margins.
Can your testing services help justify optimized PPE requirements?
Yes, our comprehensive data-driven containment performance reports provide scientific justification for PPE optimization while maintaining complete worker safety, often helping facilities achieve ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) compliance standards.
What advanced sampling methods are used for airborne monitoring?
We utilize a comprehensive combination of real-time particle counters, filter-based gravimetric sampling systems, and chemical-specific analysis including LC-MS/MS when required to capture both particulate mass concentrations and compound-specific exposure data.
How often should containment performance be professionally revalidated?
We recommend annual revalidation schedules, with additional testing performed after equipment modifications, significant process changes, or when introducing new compounds with lower OELs than previously handled pharmaceutical materials.
What comprehensive services are included in Containment Performance Testing?
Our complete service includes real-time airborne particulate monitoring, detailed surface contamination mapping, personal breathing zone sampling, advanced gravimetric/chemical analysis, and targeted corrective action recommendations, all performed using validated SMEPAC methodologies.
Which international regulatory standards guide your testing protocols?
We strictly follow SMEPAC Guidelines (2021), ISPE Good Practice Guide standards, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000, ACGIH TLVs, EU GMP Annex 1 (2022), EMA HBEL guidelines, and NIOSH Hazardous Drug Handling standards.
What professional deliverables can I expect from your testing services?
You will receive a comprehensive SMEPAC-compliant qualification report, detailed operator exposure profiles, interactive 3D contamination mapping, complete residue analysis reports, thorough OEL performance analysis, and customized corrective action recommendations.
When should facilities utilize professional containment testing services?
Professional testing is ideal for validating new containment systems, conducting routine performance evaluations, ensuring operator safety in cytotoxic drug manufacturing, or preparing for critical regulatory audits and compliance assessments.
How does Indivirtus ensure complete data confidentiality and security?
