- the present invention relates to a method for operating such a system.
- liquid products for example.
- the containers are, for example, vials, syringes, cartridges or ampoules.
- the containers can be stable and stand independently on a support surface. Alternatively, they can be non-stable containers that have to be held by means of a holding device.
- a high-quality cleanroom is usually provided in the production plant, especially for small and very small series, especially in the so-called high-potency area and/or in the area of toxic products.
- a cleanroom class of type GMP A (GMP, Good Manufacturing Practice) is desirable.
