Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces the AMI 1000, an innovative Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) solution for the pharmaceutical industry, utilizing Optical Emission Spectroscopy (O.E.S.). This technology is designed to enhance the sensitivity, capacity, and reliability of integrity tests for various pharmaceutical packaging formats.
Specifications: The AMI 1000 operates with a power supply of 90-250 V AC and consumes 1,200 W. It features a 10" multi-touch Full HD color screen and supports remote access via Ethernet or WiFi. The system is compliant with 21 CFR part 11, ensuring data integrity and traceability.
Innovative Features: The O.E.S. method does not require tracer gases, using the gas mixture in the container headspace for high sensitivity tests. It is non-destructive, deterministic, and allows for simultaneous testing of multiple samples. The system can detect defect sizes as small as 0.2 μm, aligning with USP <1207> guidelines.
Applications: The AMI 1000 is suitable for testing blisters, syringes, vials, IV bags, and plastic bottles. It offers high sensitivity and throughput, enabling trend analysis to identify production issues early. Specific test chambers are designed according to product format, with varying sensitivity and test durations.
Operational Benefits: The system improves manufacturing productivity with fast return on investment. It supports full automation of the test cycle, including loading and unloading of samples, and generates automatic PDF reports at batch closure.
Technical Data: The system operates within a temperature range of 20-25°C and humidity levels of 30-65%. It measures 1,409 x 575 x 1,075 mm and weighs 130 kg. The noise level is below 53 dB(A).
Conclusion: The AMI 1000 offers a versatile and high-performance solution for pharmaceutical packaging integrity testing, providing significant improvements in sensitivity, reliability, and operational efficiency.

Improves manufacturing productivity Data storage and traceability Non-destructive and deterministic test methods Fast return on investment escaping from a leaky container exposed to vacuum. Our method is non-destructive, deterministic, easy to use and to set up, and has higher sensitivity than other conventional methods. Furthermore, as sensitivity of the O.E.S. technology doesn‘t depend on the free volume inside the test chamber, several samples can be tested simultaneously. Ease of use The products can be sampled directly from the production line and loaded in the test chamber without any specific...

AMI 1000 Innovative CCIT solution for the pharmaceutical industry based on Optical Emission Spectroscopy Large detection range Different detection methods can be combined in order to cover the complete detection range. Massive leak and fine leak tests are performed within a single test sequence, any additional gross leak test (e.g. blue dye ingress) can be omitted. Deterministic test method As no operator intervention is required, the measurement results are totally objective. High accuracy measurements can be achieved thanks to a calibration-validation sequence of the equipment based on certified...

AMI 1000 Equivalence between defect size & air leak rate Leak rate versus defect size Historically, dye ingress testing has been the container closure integrity test of choice. The detection limit of this method is around 20 μm. Since the test is strictly visual, the detection limit has experimentally been determined by using orifices of known diameter. As a consequence, tightness criteria in pharmaceutical industry are usually expressed as an equivalent hole diameter in μm. However, an equivalent hole diameter is not enough to define the tightness criterion of a packaging. Depending on the diameter...
