NearIR
100

This machine was identified as a root cause for the knot tensile performance issue within the PDS Clear 2-0/3-0 product due to insufficient maintenance.

What is Rackwinder?

100

This system uses laser technology for raw material verification and identifying unknown substances.

What is the RAMAN system?

100

Many people think there’s only one lab at this location, but there are actually this number of labs.

What is five?

100

How fast does it take for NearIR to identify material?

Within seconds

200

What was the assessed risk level from a regulatory and quality management system perspective regarding the identified issue?

What is Medium?

200

In the past year, the RAMAN system validated this number of materials.

What is 43?

200

This lab conducts raw material inspection at the dock and distributes samples across the plant.

What is the Receiving/Inspection Lab?

200

Has this device been validated in the lab?

No, it is still undergoing validation.

300

Which line showed a slightly higher tensile strength, elongation, and knot tensile strength overall, across both Clear PDS sizes 2-0 and 3-0?

What is Line 3?

300

The RAMAN system can measure materials through this type of packaging, including foils and glass vials.

What is (semi-)transparent packaging?

300

In this lab, finished sutures are tested for qualities such as tensile strength, knot integrity, and elongation.

What is the Physical Lab?

300

This device can identify materials even through containers made of these two substances.

What are plastic and glass?

400

The assessment concluded that there was no need to update this procedure for clarity on sampling processes.

What is PS104-020?

400

The RAMAN system has reduced paperwork and time investment by shifting from this technology.

What is FTIR?

400

This lab operates independently and tests for bacteria, endotoxins, and particulates.

What is the Micro Lab?

400

RAMAN & NearIR can both analyze materials without opening or removing them from their packaging, such as glass vials and plastic containers.

What is measuring through packaging?

500

This factor was identified as a contributing cause alongside equipment maintenance issues.

What is application error?

500

By allowing scanning of materials directly on this, the RAMAN system aims to eliminate lab-based testing.

What is the spool?

500

Dermabond, raw material, and chemical suture tests, including dye and color fastness tests, are conducted in this lab.

What is the Analytical Lab?

500
