Visual Inspection Test Sets

eyetec’s Visual Inspection Test Sets are designed to replicate real-world defects in pharmaceutical products, supporting qualification and validation processes for various types of visual inspection, including:

• Manual Visual Inspection (MVI)
• Semi-Automated Visual Inspection (SAVI)
• Automated Visual Inspection (AVI)

Compatible with a wide range of container types, including vials, bottles, tubes, blisters, ampoules, cartridges, syringes, infusion bags or other types of sterile or non-sterile containers.

Each Visual Inspection Test Set typically contains a mix of defect-free samples and units intentionally seeded with known defects, such as particle test samples. Our sets are tailored to meet specific product needs, using a range of particles that vary in size, material, and characteristics (e.g., color, turbidity, viscosity).

Using precise ultramicroscopic techniques, we document each particle's dimensions and provide high-resolution images for thorough analysis.

The inserted particles can vary in nature and size, ranging from glass or rubber splinters of around 80 microns to fibres of up to 3000 microns. Each particle is measured using ultramicroscopic techniques to determine its size, usually in micrometers (µm). But also other product characteristics can be taken into account such as colour, turbidity, surface tension of viscosity. We can develop and produce placebos to mimic your product. The measurement data for each particle and test set is documented. Ultramicroscopic images with dimensions of each particle are included.

eyetec also produces other product defects, including overfilled and underfilled samples, turbidity or colour variations and container defects such as cracks, scratches, or cap and crimp defects.

Today, we supply Visual Inspection Test Sets to leading pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
