Eric Offermann and Bernd Zeiss will speak about Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) as a new sterilization method and an alternative to EtO gas. A joint study carried out by Gerresheimer, Sterigenics and Früh, showed that NO2 is well suited to terminally sterilize prefilled ophthalmic syringes. The following 5 topics will be addressed in detail: Comparison of EtO vs. NO2 penetration into the filled syringe. Analyze gas ingress through 4 different plunger stoppers including silicone oil-free and standard rubber plungers. Scrutinize gas ingress through 2 different cap designs based on different elastomer properties. Investigate gas permeation through COP plastic barrels compared to glass. Check if the final blister has an influence on either sterilization method. The ultimate objective of this study was to offer the best syringe design and packaging paired with the most suitable sterilization modality to pharma customers.
