The PharmaConsult US Difference
• Containment is all we do• We are TOTALLY independent – our
recommendations are truly impartial• You deal directly with the principals throughout
the life of your project• Our designs incorporate the technology best
suited for your project• We deal with OSD, API and parenteral processes
daily• The volume of projects we undertake allows us
access to a range of data that can assist you

Typical A/E Document
• Description of Operation:• Material is brought into the isolator in a small fiber pack drum via the
pass through or the bag connection. Material is subdivided into batch quantities. If material remains in the fiber pack drum container, the drum is removed by bagging out the drum. If the drum is empty, the drum is disposed of. Once the fiber pack drum is removed, the subdivided material containers and isolator are decontaminated. After decontamination, any waste is bagged out of the isolator, and then subdivided material is removed via the pass through.
• General Notes• The equipment vendor is responsible for the design of the
equipment.• The Isolator and its components are to be completely mounted and
wired. The Isolator must be easy to clean.• Vendor shall quote cost to provide a mock-up of the isolator for
ergonomic testing and approval at the site

1.1.1 Pack off Plug Detail The device is a tube with a means of connection using a standard screwed union. The tube is closed off using a ball valve. To improve the containment during charging the pack off is mounted in a chamber of the isolator dedicated to the purpose. The pack off is screwed into a nozzle mounted in the pack off chamber. This nozzle is closed off to the isolator via a plug, which when not in use has the non-exposed side protected by a tack pad. With the pack off mounted in place, a funnel is inserted and the product is introduced via the funnel. The funnel is a machined tolerance fit and has O-rings to seal it in place, which when inserted occludes the mounting nut and ball valve.
Sketch 1 Sketch 2 Sketch 1 shows the pack off in the closed position. The plug (1) is in place and is sealed by means of the O-ring. The handle is recessed so that the work surface is clear of obstructions. The 316L

Ergonomic Review Prior to Bid
• Undertaking full ergonomic and functional evaluations as part of the detail design is essential prior to bidding and awarding the project
• We have shown time after time that it saves time and cost and results in comparable bids
• $7,000,000 in containment projects were executed this way by PharmaConsult in 2004

Containment the Reality
• Is all about preventing contamination, cross contamination and mix ups
• Containment can lead to significant cost savings• Containment assists in risk assessments• By designing a redundant system catastrophic events can
be prevented• Because we have a system that addresses regulatory,
risk and cost containment, we incidentally protect both people and the environment
• Process Containment makes business sense
