EURPING Poseidon-600-YP GMP-Compliant Laboratory Bottle Washer

Overview

The EURPING Poseidon-600-YP is a fully automated, GMP-compliant laboratory bottle washer engineered for high-integrity cleaning of glassware, volumetric flasks, sampling bottles, bioreactor vessels, and other critical labware in regulated pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and contract research environments. It operates on a validated, closed-loop washing principle combining multi-stage spray impingement, precisely controlled thermal profiles, and conductivity-monitored final rinsing to ensure residue-free surfaces meeting USP , ISO 15883-1, and EU Annex 1 requirements for cleanroom-grade equipment. Designed for integration into quality-controlled workflows, the system supports full traceability, audit-ready data capture, and seamless alignment with GLP/GMP documentation standards—including FDA 21 CFR Part 11–compliant electronic records when paired with validated software configurations.

Key Features

• Chamber constructed from electropolished AISI 316L stainless steel (Ra ≤ 0.6 µm surface finish), with outer casing in AISI 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and cleanroom compatibility.
• Side-opening tempered glass door with integrated safety interlock and emergency stop button compliant with IEC 60204-1.
• Siemens S7-1200 PLC control system with 7-inch color HMI touchscreen interface; stores up to 10 user-defined wash cycles with full parameter logging (temperature, pressure, time, conductivity, flow rate).
• Triple-tiered access control (Operator, Supervisor, Administrator) enabling role-based configuration, cycle execution, and audit trail review.
• Real-time fault detection with audible alarm, on-screen error code display (including timestamp and resolution time), and automatic thermal-printed event log generation.
• High-efficiency circulation pump fabricated from AISI 316 stainless steel with Ra ≤ 0.6 µm polished wetted surfaces; dual detergent dosing pumps for precise acid/alkali delivery.
• GMP-optimized fluid path: all internal piping electropolished to Ra ≤ 0.4 µm; side-fed basket irrigation with complete drain-down between cycles; redundant pressure monitoring at inlet and recirculation lines.
• Dual HEPA H14 filtration (99.995% @ 0.1 µm) integrated into the hot-air drying circuit, continuously monitored via differential pressure sensors with predictive failure alerting.
• Conductivity-controlled final rinse logic: dynamically adjusts number of post-wash rinses based on real-time effluent conductivity readings (measured in µS/cm), ensuring consistent rinse efficacy across load variability.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The Poseidon-600-YP accommodates standard and custom-configured wash baskets—designed per customer vessel inventory (e.g., 100 mL–2 L volumetric flasks, serum bottles, filter housings, chromatography vials). All wetted components meet USP Class VI and EP 3.1.9 material certification requirements. The system complies with ISO 13485:2016 (for medical device manufacturing support), ISO 15883-1:2019 (washer-disinfectors), and supports IQ/OQ/PQ validation protocols. Optional IQ/OQ documentation packages are available upon request. Electrical safety conforms to IEC 61010-1; electromagnetic compatibility meets IEC 61326-1.

Software & Data Management

The embedded Siemens TIA Portal-based control architecture enables native LIMS integration via TCP/IP handshake protocol (Modbus TCP or OPC UA optional), transmitting cycle start/stop timestamps, temperature curves, pressure logs, conductivity traces, and alarm history. All data are stored locally with ≥12-month retention; exportable in CSV or PDF format with digital signature capability. Audit trails record user actions, parameter changes, and system events with immutable timestamps—fully compliant with ALCOA+ principles. When deployed with EURPING’s optional Validation Support Package, the system satisfies 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic signatures and record integrity.

Applications

• Pre-sterilization cleaning of primary packaging components (vials, syringes, cartridges) prior to depyrogenation or autoclaving.
• Routine cleaning of analytical labware used in HPLC, GC, and dissolution testing to prevent cross-contamination and method interference.
• Decontamination of single-use bioprocessing vessels and fluid path components in cell therapy and mRNA production suites.
• Residue removal validation studies supporting cleaning verification per PDA TR29 and ISPE Baseline Guide Vol. 4.
• Supporting environmental monitoring programs by eliminating microbial carryover from sampling containers used in Grade A/B cleanrooms.

FAQ

Does the Poseidon-600-YP support automated validation documentation?
Yes—EURPING provides IQ/OQ templates aligned with ASTM E2500 and EU GMP Annex 15. Custom PQ protocols can be co-developed with qualified third-party validation partners.
Can the system be integrated into an existing MES or SCADA infrastructure?
Yes—the PLC supports Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and Ethernet/IP communication protocols. Integration engineering support is available under separate service agreement.
What is the minimum conductivity threshold triggering additional final rinses?
The default setpoint is 0.5 µS/cm (adjustable within 0.1–2.0 µS/cm range); the system executes up to three additional rinses until the threshold is met or maximum rinse count is reached.
Is remote monitoring supported?
Remote diagnostics and cycle status monitoring are enabled via secure HTTPS web interface; full remote operation requires on-site network security assessment and firewall configuration.
How often does the HEPA filter require replacement?
Filter life depends on ambient air quality and usage frequency; typical service interval is 6–12 months. The system alerts when differential pressure exceeds 250 Pa, indicating reduced efficiency.
