Testing of Therapy Systems

Therapy systems are drug delivery systems and injection devices with which drugs and pharmaceutical products can be administered in outpatient, hospitalized, and private situations. They include, among others, hypodermic syringes, injection needles, cannulae, infusion systems, pen injectors, and autoinjectors.

Important tests in the area of therapy systems

Testing injection systems

Successful introduction and testing of injections systems is based on various aspects. Proven solutions minimize risks; fail safe design prevents errors in testing injection systems. Find out more about the various factors here.

to Testing injection systems

Medical industry | On-Body Delivery Systems (OBDS)

ISO 11608-6

Testing on-body delivery systems (OBDS) is challenging. Find out about test requirements, typical test values, and key criteria for reliable test results.

Medical Industry | Autoinjectors

ISO 11608-5

ZwickRoell autoinjector testing systems enable the automated performance of all tests required by ISO 11608-5 on a specimen.

to Autoinjectors ISO 11608-5

Medical | Autoinjector spring simulation

Simulation and characterization of spring forces and syringe glide forces

Spring forces have a significant influence on the success of injections using an autoinjector. Therefore, they must be measured accurately.

Medical | Syringes, prefilled | Test method for assessing integrity and functionality

ISO 11040-4, ISO 11040-6, ISO 11040-8, USP 1383, USP 382

Syringe testing to ISO 11040 with parts -4, -6 and -8 is critical for safe dispensing of medications, anticoagulants and biologics. To meet the strict requirements of the standard annexes, you need a testing system equipped with a variety of test fixtures.

to Syringe testing ISO 11040

Medical | Syringes & carpules | Breakaway force / glide force

ISO 7886 -1, ISO 11499, ISO 11040-4 and ISO 11608-3

The breakaway force and glide force are important parameters used in the selection of suitable syringes. The universal test fixture supports test according to standards DIN EN ISO 7886 -1, DIN EN ISO 11499, ISO 11040-4 and ISO 11608-3.
