FMS and Apreco raise the alarm
Facility Monitoring Systems and Apreco have developed the enhanced cleanroom Differential Pressure Monitor/Alarm (DPMA) system, which provides an effective means of monitoring and regularly recording the differential pressures held within the clean area.
The DPMA system logs data enabling investigation of alarm conditions if required. Through the touch display screen or PC interface, each sensor channel can be set to alarm at a specific set point, and to eliminate unwanted alarms, each channel can be set to specific delay periods.
During alarm periods, the controller will retain the pressure values recorded in its memory. This data can be either read directly through the display screen or with a suitable interface on a PC.
When an alarm has been registered, it remains latched until the differential pressure has been restored in all areas where there has been an alarm condition and it has been acknowledged by an authorised user.
The FMS software has been developed to enable 21 CFR part 11 compliance and is assigned GAMP category 4 as configurable software. The software is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of MHRA, BSI ISO 9000, US FDA, and EU Tissue & Cell Directives (HFEA regulated).
