“Serialization Introduction and the 2023 US mandate” Complimentary Webinar
Hosted by Michael H. Bellm President, Life Scientific
Presented by Michael H. Bellm, Life Scientific and Sascha Toedtli, Hicof
December 21st, 2022 @11:00 AM CST

Speakers from HICOF Serialization Systems, and their US Representatives, Life Scientific, Inc. discuss the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) Implementation and Readiness Efforts which is coming up Sept 2023. They will discuss how serialization can help Dispensers (pharmacies and health systems) be responsible for meeting enhanced FDA verification and traceability requirements.

Content will cover Serialized Transaction Information (TI) including serial numbers, lot numbers and expiration dates that will supplant the advance shipping notice (ASN) and will require purpose-built solutions that can support EPCIS event data at the individual unit level; DSCSA traceability and verification requirements will depend on implementing a secure data exchange network.

We will integrate solutions that HICOF can offer manufacturers to overcome these new regulatory challenges.

This webinar will be extremely beneficial for those new to serialization as well as experienced engineers wanting to expand their knowledge and get current information about the upcoming regulatory mandate.

“Evolving Your Process to Blow Fill Seal
A How to Session”

Hosted by Michael H. Bellm President, Life Scientific
Presented by Brevetti Angela Srl
June 3rd, 2021 @10:00 AM CST

We partnered up with Brevetti Angela Srl for an educative session on How to Evolve your process to Blow-Fill-Seal.

In this session, you will learn about the benefits and the considerations of switching or upgrading to Blow Fill and Seal technology. We will cover the complete process, various applications, applicable molds, performance, and financial scope.

We will also walk through some comparative case studies on the process of transitioning to BFS technology and much more.

Blow Fill and Seal technology is mainly used for pharmaceutical solutions. The examples of pharmaceutical solutions that can be packaged are injectable solutions, antibiotics, ophthalmological drops, suspensions, infusion solutions, solutions for dialysis, solutions for irrigation and solutions for hemofiltration. Besides this main field of application, this technology has been used also for packaging of fresh fruit juice, non aerated drinks, milk and various cosmetic products including creams.

The process begins with the Extrusion of plastic granules in the form of a hot hollow pipe of molten plastic called a parison.

The following step is the Blow moulding of the container from the plastic granule.

The subsequent step is Filling of the formed container from the top, which is still open (and still in a “hot molten” state).

The next step is Sealing the top of the container, which is still open and in a hot molten state.

The final steps are for De-flashing to remove the flash or scrap, trimming the containers and delivering the containers outside the machine.

“How to Get a Clean-Room Designed, Built and Certified in Less than 5 Months”
Hosted by Michael H. Bellm President, Life Scientific
Presented by Aseptic Enclosures
January 7th, 2021 @10:00 AM CST

At Aseptic Enclosures, we were planning a presentation to review the design/build process for our Mobile cleanroom suites. Our typical application has been pharmacy USP 797/800 compliant builds. This Zoom session was be held on Thursday, 01/07/2021 at 10:00 am Central. It lasted approximately 35 minutes + Q&A time.

Our mobile clean rooms are designed to be a permanent, fully furnished, fast and economical solution to the traditional “stick-built” approach. They have the added benefit of portability. We build the configurations in shipping containers which yields an impressively durable installation.

Units can be of various sizes. They can be stacked, combined, craned, forklifted or supplied on a leveling chassis for placement flexibility. The design process is crucial for a successful build. Our team of architects, engineers, equipment planners and representatives work with our clients in the initial needs assessment process.

After the assessment is complete, we work on submission of our first sign-off document, the conceptual design. Usually, within just a few days, we are able to submit an exceptionally detailed 3d model for evaluation and comment. Typically, after just a few iterations we have “sign off” and begin ordering long lead items and producing detailed construction documents for final approvals.

“Site Considerations and Preparations when Designing and Installing Environmental Chambers”
Hosted by Mary Beth Eyer, Life Scientific
Presented by Dan Gresens, Environmental Specialties
June 20th, 2018 @11:45 AM CST

Next up on our agenda we have prepared a talk related to the appropriate Site Considerations and Preparations when Designing and Installing Environmental Chambers.

Selection of the proper chamber and other system features is assisted by Environmental Specialties, based on the information you provide about your application. The utilities needed for large scale chambers is significant and requires planning before a unit can be purchased and installed. The most important aspects that are needed to be decided upon prior to the beginning of the design of the environmental chamber are the Floor Plan, the Safety of the personnel and the Safety of the stored content, the accessibility and the complete operation process. Environmental Specialties had assisted hundreds of facilities on settling on the design and plan of their environmental chamber that will suit their facility the most.

If you are currently exploring the idea of adding an environmental chamber to your facility or you might be looking into the possibilities of these chambers in the future, than this Webinar is for you. Even if you already have a chamber up and running, you can still tune in and go through the checklist and just see if the project was done right and according to the proper methods.

The Main Keynote Presenter, Mr. Dan Gresens has over 22 years of experience dealing with various sites and plants that are facing issues with the addition and installation of their environmental chamber. The complete team that will assist Dan in delivering the presentation has over a century of combined expertise behind them when it comes to Environmental Chambers.

Environmental Specialties designs, manufactures, installs and services a diverse line of controlled environmental chambers that maintain precise conditions for a wide array of research, development, and manufacturing activities.
