Our new range of intelligent air samplers offer unrivalled efficiency and consistency in viable monitoring while ensuring 21 CFR part 11 Compliance. The sampler features an internal flow controller PCB and the calibration data are stored inside the unit.
Standard 90 mm Plates
The iVAS series supports standard 90mm Petri Dish media and includes an integrated VHP tolerant controller measuring actual flow and sample volume within the sample head. The iVAS units can be integrated into any existing EM Program meeting EU-GMP Annex 1 and USP 797 compliance requirements.
Pedestal base or tri-clamp mounting
Available in both pedestal and tri-clamp mounting styles, iVAS can be used free standing or built into isolators and filling machines. The truly intelligent iVAS unit incorporates the perforated sieve head, dual impellers, flow/volume control and communication systems into a highly integrated unit. iVAS itself controls the air flow and measures the volume of air sampled to maximise regulatory compliance and can operate in either continuous or intermittent sampling modes.
VE8206 – 6 Channel iVAS Controller
The Pharmagraph VE8206 iVAS Controller offers an easy way of interfacing to iVAS intelligent Viable Air Samplers that offer unrivalled efficiency and consistency in microbiological monitoring. The VE8206 controller provides a quick and easy Ethernet connection to the host PC by incorporating a pre-configured MX6001 controller that drives up to six iVAS units. Individual iVAS units connect via screw terminals using a single cable that carries RS485 communications and power, so that the controller can be installed in a plant room or under the filling machine bed. The iVAS units themselves can then be conveniently distributed within the isolator or clean room.
The VE8206 includes opto-isolated inputs and outputs that allow iVAS to be directly controlled by hardware such as an isolator PLC. When operated in this way, the VE8206 supports hardware control of up to four iVAS units. Modbus software control of the VE8206 allows it to support up to six iVAS units for example in our Envigil-FMS montoring software.
