Our Products for Pharma & Medical Hot Topic: Good Distribution Practice (GDP) Our processes for distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients are set up in compliance with applicable Good Distribution Practice requirements. This includes the physical handling of the goods as well as our administrative and quality management processes. Therewith, we take responsibility for our part of the supply chain and cover our legal obligations and our customers’ expectations. This has been verified by an independent audit organization during an audit on site including the warehouse and is documented by the corresponding GDP Audit Certificate. Hot Topic: Wearables Wearable Medical Devices, short wearables, seek to ease the everyday life of patients suffering from chronic illness. The most popular example is the continuous-glucose-monitoring for diabetes. But not only are these devices easy for the consumer to use, but they offer real-time data for physicians to analyze as well. This fact gains further importance as with the ageing population on-site visits at the nearest physician become more difficult; virtual medicine is designed to close this gap. Most important in this future scenario is that the wearables ensure reliable performance over the whole lifespan. Our supplier‘s products as the MD™ adhesives from Dymax and the Liveo™ silicone skin adhesives were developed for exactly these scenarios. Rapid Diagnosing Rapid Diagnosing describe medical diagnostic tests that are quick and easy to perform. Not only in times of Covid-19, a rapid and easy diagnostic test is an indispensable tool to detect and initiate treatment diseases of all kind. Mostly, these test systems are based on a stationary table-top lab-equipment being the analytical device. The latter is then usually equipped with a small single-use cassette being the sample holder of, e.g. nose-and-throat swaps of potential Covid-19 patients. Logically both parts of the test system are medical devices that must ensure safe and effective analysis of sample material. The Dymax MD™ can ensure exactly that as they are solvent-free and certified to USP Class VI and/or ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards. Vaccination Using vaccines to tackle infectious diseases is an ancient human approach being more relevant than ever in the current situation facing Covid-19. The WHO counts 198 vaccine-projects so far, with several being already in phase III clinical trials. During all stages of vaccine development, medical staff must ensure that the dosage form of the vaccine is safe and meets the relevant requirements. Usually, before being on the market as registered pharmaceutical, vaccines are being produced in big batches that are filled in vials of 5ml or 10 ml. Once market authorization is granted, prefilled-syringes are the first-line dosage form. In both stages, fulfilling National Formulary (NF), European Pharmacopeia (EP) requirements for dimethicone as well as the relevant ISO-10993 demands, the DuPont Liveo™ Medical Fluids and Dymax MDTM adhesives and are being used to lubricate, seal and bond prefilled-syringes respectively Our Suppliers across Europe* *Availability of products may vary from country to country.
