How Reliable Is The Pharma Equipment You Buy?

By Trisha Gladd, Editor, Life Science Connect

When it comes to equipment manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry, it is imperative that a product functions exactly as it was intended. Any misstep caused by faulty equipment could have catastrophic results for the company that produces a drug, but more importantly, for the patient who uses it.

The serious consequences that can result from a lack of accurate equipment design and the associated manufacturing processes are why Donald Dobert, president and COO of ATL Pharmaceutical/Medical, created his company’s New Product Development (NPD) Planning Process. The result of this process is a reliable product and a satisfied customer, which can only be accomplished when the equipment they’re using is properly operating as designed.
