Pfizer selects Visionscan as its global packaging inspection standard for blister packs

Nondestructive inspection devices trial successfully across multiple product materials, and from production sites worldwide.

Visionscan will help Pfizer, one of the world's leading biopharmaceutical companies, reduce inspection costs and drive up accuracy levels as compared to traditional test methods.

While the financial world focuses on NY-based Pfizer’s efforts to purchase London-based AstraZeneca, Pfizer has selected a nondestructive inspection device for blister packs, called Visionscan, as its preferred global standard for blister packaging inspection. Visionscan was developed by the Northern Ireland-based packaging engineering firm Sepha Ltd., and is distributed in the U.S. and Canada by Service Industries. In 2013, Sepha was purchased by TASI, a manufacturer of leak test and measurement equipment.

Visionscan will help Pfizer, one of the world's leading biopharmaceutical companies, reduce inspection costs and drive up accuracy levels as compared to traditional test methods.

The endorsement of Visionscan by Pfizer comes after several months of trials that have demonstrated that Visionscan eliminates some of the known disadvantages of the blue dye test while increasing limit-of-detection capabilities in terms of pinhole size.
