ro|box medtech automation platform
What sets ro|box medtech apart?
- Stainless-steel enclosures (V4A): Robust, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and resistant to cleaning/disinfectant agents.
- Polished, sealed surfaces: Reduce build-up and prevent microcracks or porosity that could harbour germs.
- Avoidance of dead spaces/corners: No hard-to-reach or poorly visible areas where particles or liquids could accumulate, or where parts or components could remain undetected during line clearance.
- Hygienic design to EHEDG/GMP guidelines
- Rounded edges and corners: Facilitate cleaning and prevent dirt accumulation.
- ESD protection components (optional): Prevent electrostatic discharge for sensitive electronic components.
- Laminar-flow systems (optional): Particle-controlled environment, suitable for cleanroom classes up to ISO 5 / GMP Grade A.
- Validation according to GMP/FDA guidelines: Technical design compliant with regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 13485, EU GMP, FDA 21 CFR, and ISPE GAMP 5).
- Frameless glass doors on all sides: Simplified cleaning and visual inspection during operation.
- Use of EHEDG-certified equipment: Including handles, control cabinet locks, screws, nuts, etc.
- Stainless-steel base plate
- Use of clean to highly aseptic robot arms
- Wipe-down-capable/manual cleaning ready: Hygienic design prepared for common disinfectants and cleaning agents.
- Chemical-resistant materials: Suitable for alcohol-, acid-, and alkali-based cleaning.
- Chemical-resistant seals: (EPDM, FKM, PTFE).
