Description
This next generation compact and elegant system is designed to minimize risk through a fully automated process with recipe-controlled steps, including pre-use manifold leak test, pre-use and post-use filter integrity tests (with the help of an integrated Palltronic® Flowstar IV Filter Integrity Test Instrument), system priming, product filtration and buffer chase, with all data stored in a batch reporting system, significantly reducing non-conformities and manual labor. The Allegro ™ Connect virus filtration system utilizes single-use technology (SUT) to ensure faster turnaround between product batches, eliminating the need for clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilization-in-place (SIP) operations and associated cleaning validation, reducing maintenance costs and system downtime, thereby ensuring increased plant productivity. The entire flow path has been designed for easy installation and removal, with clearly marked connections and a shadow board to visibly guide the user, reducing the risk of human error.The Allegro ™ Connect virus filtration system has undergone extensive usability trials to ensure the system is simple and intuitive to use. Visual instructions for installation (IFI) have been created and are accessible via the HMI screen providing operators with a step-by-step guide to installing the single-use flow paths and making the relevant fluid connections.
