Gloves constitute the most susceptible link in the containment barrier systems. Gloves are the most critical part in aseptic manufacturing environment because they are in direct contact with the operator and for aseptic manipulations hence gloves are the main source of potential contamination.

A faulty glove can breach the integrity of isolator and contaminate the product.

According to Draft Annex 1 ‘’Integrity testing of the barrier systems, and leak testing of the glove system and the isolator should be performed using a methodology demonstrated to be suitable for the task and criticality. The testing should be performed at defined periods, at a minimum at the beginning and end of each batch, and should include a visual inspection following any intervention that may affect the integrity of the system’’

Routine and frequent leak testing of glove/sleeve system is highly recommended. FZ provides one stop solution for protection of your gloves and products.
