Container Closure Integrity Tester:
LT-5000 CCIT


“Electronic + Compliance + Equivalence”

The LT-5000 CCIT is a highly precise leak detection system designed to verify the seal integrity of containers used for injectable drugs & other rigid packaging. It reliably detects even the smallest leaks, ensuring consistent quality & safety standards.

As per ASTM, FDA 21CFR Part11, USP 1207, NABL, CE, ISO 9001:2008, EMA ANNEX 11 guidelines

Advantages

  • No sample damage or preparation required; zero operator bias
  • Detects defects as small as 0.005 ccm
  • Identifies leaks as small as 0.5 µm
  • More sensitive & consistent than dye ingress testing
  • Provides quantitative & deterministic results
  • Fast & reliable for both rigid & flexible packaging; test time is adjustable
  • Easy-to-use touch screen interface with a compact design
  • Modular system with quick-change components & custom-fit chambers
  • Supports remote upload & instant access to reports & logs

Applicability

  • Vacuum decay leak testing is a non-destructive method for verifying container closure integrity (CCI) by detecting leaks from large to micron-sized in pharma, medical device, & food packaging. Recognized by ASTM F2338-09 & PDA as a Standard for non-destructive leak detection.
  • Compatible With:
    • Batch testing
    • For new product set-up, test & development
    • Production lines
    • Non-destructive testing
    • Bacteria-free ingress test

21 CFR PART 11 COMPLIANT LT-5000 CCIT

  • To keep pace with the increasing use of electronic systems and technology in FDA-regulated industries, 21 CFR Part 11 was introduced, ensuring the same level of data integrity, authenticity, and reliability as paper-based systems.
  • Basically, 21 CFR Part 11 is a regulation established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that outlines the requirements for the use of electronic records and electronic signatures in FDA-regulated industries, including pharmaceuticals.
  • Adhering to these guidelines, the introduction of Information Technology (IT) in compliance was a milestone.
  • It establishes requirements for the security, integrity, and availability of electronic records and the validation of electronic systems used for GxP (Good Laboratory Practices, Good Clinical Practices, Good Manufacturing Practices) activities.

Audit Trail

  • Tamperproof & Non-Editable Audit Trail Data Format.
  • The time stamp of the change of the parameter value & the user making the change.
  • The audit trail records the following details
    • User Creation
    • User Login/Logout
    • Wrong attempts at login
    • User Block / Unblock by Administrator
    • Old value & new value of the parameter change
    • The time stamp of each event

Electronic Signatures

  • Through 3/4 user level validation & authentication

System Data & Data Backup

    HMI offers basic connectivity for data exchange with Central SCADA / MES / ERP by following the means:

  • Through OPC UA
  • Through Data file transfer
  • Through USB / SD Card Backup

Electronic Data Record & Data Storage

  • Review of the reports on the HMI Screen for Production, Alarms, & Audit Trail.
  • Storage limit can be interlocked in terms of the number of batches produced or % of the memory consumed.

User Management Functionalities

  • Password-protected individual Unique user account.
  • Password Complexity.
  • Minimum 8 Character password length.
  • Configurable Number of Wrong Attempts.
  • User Block/Unblock Facility.
  • Password Validity.
  • Multiple User Levels as per the User Rights.

Report Generation & Printing

  • Batch data is stored in a secure database format, & the Batch Report can be generated using this data.
  • The report printing has been offered in multiple ways.
  • Online printing of Alarms, Events, & Logged data through Serial Printer.
