摘要:
The present invention relates to a packaging line implemented for packaging a pre-filled syringe, comprising a NSD mounting station (1); a PFS delivery arrangement (2) positioned before the NSD mounting station (1) and adapted to automatically deliver a pre-filled syringe (21) to the NSD mounting station (1); a NSD delivery arrangement (3) positioned before the NSD mounting station (1) and adapted to automatically deliver a needle safety device (31) to the NSD mounting station (1). The NSD mounting station (1) is arranged to automatically assemble the needle safety device (31) to the pre-filled syringe (21). A NSD visual inspection station (4) is positioned after the NSD mounting station (1) and adapted to automatically identify a pre-filled syringe (21) with an unfit needle safety device (31) and to automatically eliminate the identified pre-filled syringe (21, 31)) from the packaging line. A re-insertion station (5) is further provided to receive a pre-filled syringe (21) with a needle safety device (31) and to automatically feed the received pre-filled syringe (21, 31), preferably from a rejected secondary packaging, back into the packaging line, after the NSD mounting station (1) and before the NSD visual inspection station (4). The present invention also relates to an automated process of packaging a prefilled syringe whose operational steps are implemented by the above described packaging line.
