SKAN: CSI Isolators for Pharmacies

-Skan AG

Safety isolators for your aseptic processes with active ingredients

CSI Isolator and Decontamination System

Air flow and filter technology

The air handling within the isolator guarantees safety for the product and the operator:

  • Intake, circulation and exhaust air in the work chamber and the transfer hatch are protected by HEPAfilters on the basis of a three-filter system
  • The isolator can be operated in positive or negative pressure
  • The pressure control is rapid and stable
  • The circulation air in the work chamber and the transfer hatch is vertical and unidirectional
  • The double-filtered exhaust air meets the requirements of DIN 12980 for cytotoxic applications classes V1 and V2

FIBO: the "safe change" filter box

The patented filter box has the following features:

  • Safe Change Filter BoxHigh process safety for the product and the environment thanks to efficient HEPA filtering
  • The filter boxes are positioned in an easily accessible location below the work chamber
  • The filters can easily be changed by a single individual
  • The isolator and the filter boxes both remain safely sealed throughout the filter change process
  • Fully incineratable filters for easy disposal

A wide range of services to round off the package

  • Comprehensive documentation of the isolator that meets all the possible requirements of the authorities
  • Installation and start-up with functional tests onsite
  • Documented training for operation and maintenance

Changes may be made as a result of technical progress.

Our experience is your safety

You process parenterals and active ingredients. How do you avoid:

  • Microbial and particulate contamination of your product?
  • Cross-contamination with other products?
  • Endangering the operator or the environment?

Our solution from isolator technology

Isolators safely separate the operator from the process and products. The CSI, the Skan safety isolator, is based on a high-quality, state-of-the-art system that also complies with Pharmacopeia USP <797>, "Pharmaceutical Compounding and Sterile Preparations".

The purpose of the isolator is product, operator and environmental protection.

The CSI isolator is designed specifically for working with aseptic-toxic products and is therefore very flexible for use in the preparation of cytotoxics and active ingredients and the handling or infectious micro-organisms. Preferred locations for use are phar- macies, hospitals and laboratories, which carry out aseptic work with active ingredients on a daily basis.

SIS-A: the integrated H2O2 decontamination system

The integrated decontamination system facilitates rapid, safe and fully automated decontamination of the work chamber and the transfer hatch with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

Work Chamber and Transfer Hatch

  • In the transfer hatch, the extremely short cycle time of just 15 minutes is achieved by means of optimal H2O2 process control and efficient aeration to a residual concentration of <1ppm
  • The table, reproducible decontamination process guarantees a quantifiable spore reduction of >10 -6 on the interior surfaces of the isolator
  • The work chamber and transfer hatch, which are hermetically sealed against the surrounding environment, can be decontaminated separately
  • High productivity levels can be achieved thanks to the short transfer time, which allows for a large number of formulations or laboratory samples per day
