Embedded Airflow Sensors for CGMP Compliance

 

FH-Series Airflow Sensors Help Assure CGMP Compliance  

21 CFR 113 of the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) defines aseptic processing and packaging as “the filling of a commercially sterilized cooled product into presterilized containers, followed by aseptic hermetical sealing, with a presterilized closure, in an atmosphere free of microorganisms”. Environmental monitoring and control is essential to aseptic fill/finish processes producing food and pharmaceuticals. 


The FH400 airflow sensor from Degree Controls is used in food/beverage bottling systems, as well as in pharmaceutical compounding and freeze-drying machines with end of line bottling. It measures air velocity, temperature, and humidity and can output as analog or digital communication to your PLC or system controller, ensuring proper environmental monitoring and control. With conformal-coated electronics, FH-Series sensors are designed to withstand exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and other disinfectants used in sterile bottling.
