Abstract

Objective: To analyze the key problems existing in the research on the container-closure integrity for the domestic sterile pharmaceutical packing system, so as to provide suggestions for solving the problems and useful references for the related researches. Methods: Domestic and foreign regulations and standard requirements were compared, the meaning and application of key concepts in the research on container-closure integrity of sterile pharmaceutical packaging systems were investigated and analyzed in depth; relevant literature and practical experience was consulted and researched, the examples on solving the key problems of containerclosure integrity were summarized and analyzed; the current research status of the container-closure integrity of the pharmaceutical packaging system in China was combined, and a flow chart of the container-closure integrity of the pharmaceutical packaging system was drawn. Results and Conclusion: The research on the containerclosure integrity of the sterile pharmaceutical packaging system is a complex and systematic work, and it is in the premise of the accurate understanding and analysis of the key issues. The drawing of the container-closure integrity research flow chart could simplify and facilitate the development of the research.
