Glove integrity tester

leak-proofingfor laboratory isolatorsportable

<b>Overview</b><br>The glove tester enables rapid and reliable detection of perforations using a traceable, reproducible method that complies with current regulations, in particular Annex 1 of GMP. The system can be adapted to all shapes of glove rings and is designed for use with isolators.<br><br><b>Key features</b><br><ul><li>Equipped with two sensors that detect the pressure inside the glove</li><li>Integrated with a Siemens HMI interface (WinCC Unified) for full control</li><li>Designed to be lighter, with lower energy consumption and greater autonomy</li><li>Easy to use, with reduced mechanical complexity</li><li>Adaptable to different glove port formats (round, oval, etc.)</li><li>Featuring exclusive dual-sensor technology for continuous validation of measurements</li></ul><br><b>Traceability and HMI capabilities</b><br>The unit is controlled via Siemens WinCC Unified, providing complete and intuitive traceability, including:<br><ul><li>Automatic report generation</li><li>Alarm log accessible at any time</li><li>Secure audit trail to ensure data integrity</li></ul><br>Continuous calibration of pressure sensors is supported without disassembly; the second sensor continuously monitors the reliability of the first sensor and triggers a preventive alarm if a deviation is detected.<br><br><b>Connectivity and security</b><br>The tester is compatible with WPA2 Enterprise authentication for secure centralized Wi‑Fi access. The system is configured to improve network invisibility and restrict access to authorized devices only.<br><br><b>Operating principle</b><br>The tester operates based on Hagen‑Poiseuille’s law, enabling simulation of leaks equivalent to those produced by very small defects. A calibrated 260 μm orifice used in testing corresponds, in leak-rate terms, to a hole of approximately 113 μm in a glove, demonstrating high micro‑leak detection sensitivity.<br><br><b>Calibration and maintenance</b><br>Secure and traceable calibration is performed annually using a dedicated HMI program and a test bench that reproduces test conditions, allowing pressure sensor accuracy checks and validation without dismantling. Calibration can be performed on site or by returning the unit to the manufacturer for service.<br><br><b>Applications</b><br>Designed for sterile and regulated environments where reliable glove integrity testing of isolator glove ports is required.<br><br><b>Technical specifications</b><ul><li>Technology: Exclusive dual-sensor pressure measurement (primary sensor regulates pressure; secondary sensor monitors primary sensor)</li><li>HMI: Siemens WinCC Unified interface</li><li>Traceability: Automatic reports, alarm log, secure audit trail</li><li>Detection sensitivity: Calibrated reference orifice 260 μm (equivalent to ~113 μm hole leak rate)</li><li>Operating principle: Hagen‑Poiseuille’s law based leak simulation</li><li>Glove compatibility: Adaptable to different glove port shapes (round, oval, etc.)</li><li>Design: Lightweight, lower energy consumption, reduced mechanical complexity</li><li>Calibration: Continuous sensor calibration capability without disassembly; annual secure and traceable calibration program</li><li>Connectivity: WPA2 Enterprise-compatible Wi‑Fi (restricted access to authorized devices)</li></ul>
