Düsseldorf/Paris, January 15, 2020. At booth B60/B64 at Pharmapack in Paris, Gerresheimer, a leading global manufacturer of primary packaging for the pharmaceutical industry is presenting its new Gx RTF vials product offering. Gerresheimer offers both its own packaging, as well as the familiar Ompi EZ-fill packaging design.
Gx RTF vials – ready for filling
The Gx RTF injection vials are made from type I borosilicate glass and meet all current requirements of the applicable ISO standards and pharmacopeias (USP and Ph. Eur.). They are manufactured in accordance with cGMPs, washed in a cleanroom, processed through a depyrogenation cycle, and then packed for sterilization. Gerresheimer offers its own final packaging solutions as well as the industry known Ompi EZ-fill packaging designs. This means the vials are ready for the next steps in the filling process without any further and/or additional handling by our customers. The benefits are obvious: sterile delivery, a simplified fill and finish process, the highest quality standards, flexibility thanks to various possible packaging options and a wide range of filling and sealing technologies. Multiple RTF manufacturing locations will also enable Gerresheimer to adapt to individual and specific market requirements. These benefits all lead to a significant reduction in our customer’s total cost of ownership across the product’s lifecycle and provide improved patient safety.
Top quality requirements
The Gx RTF injection vial products meet all established requirements of the applicable ISO standards and pharmacopoeias (USP and Ph. Eur.). Gx RTF products are offered in Gx Elite, Gx Armor and Gx Pharma Plus quality formats to help meet or exceed any customer or industry quality requirements. RTF packaging solutions offered with the Ompi EZ-fill packaging platforms further enhance the finished product quality performance by preventing glass-to-glass contact, which could result in glass breakage and the creation of cosmetic defects.
