QR Consult Us Release
PharmaConsult US announces the release of QR Consult US a cloud based system used to assist in managing the risk of cross contamination. The system helps to identify worst case products in a facility, cleaning limits between the various products, what products share which equipment and much more.

Gowning Module
PharmaConsult Us developed a Gowing Module designed for shared/ multiproduct facilities where the process room is negative to the corridor, there are no airlocks; gowning is undertaken centrally and the corridor is common to rooms processing different compounds.
In gathering data on the potential for cross contamination it became clear that in many cases operators were not only traversing corridors in API soiled gowning, but were able to work on several products without a gown change. Such practices are capable of cross contamination to the limit particularly when at the single dosage scale. In existing unit operation type facilities, using the Gowning Module means that operators can safely gown and de-gown at the process room boundary and not tracking API through the common areas of the facility.
