Autoinjector Testing System: Root Cause Analysis
Instron’s Autoinjector Testing System uses a high-resolution video camera, along with the machine vision camera, to provide critical visuals to aid in root cause analysis when a device failure occurs.
Visualizing the injection provides useful insights to help understand discrepancies in delivered volume, needle length, and injection time. In addition, the machine vision camera used to measure injection time and needle depth captures injection images that provide insight into the accuracy of the needle depth calculation. These capabilities provide the means to analyze sample results post-test and reduce the time required for root cause analysis studies in production environments.
