Application
Data-driven basis for decisions on continued system operation
For existing systems without a service contract
Ideal if you want an objective assessment of your isolator’s condition without an ongoing service contract or regular exchange with SKAN.
For long-operating isolators
Suitable for systems with extended operating lifetimes when questions arise regarding obsolescence, spare parts, future use, or potential modification needs.
For the preparation of strategic decisions
Supports engineering, maintenance, and management in deciding on continued operation, retrofitting, modernization, or replacement of an isolator.
Process
Structured workflow from preparation through to recommended action
1
Definition of system scope
Identification of the isolator to be assessed, including clarification of scope and organizational framework conditions.
2
Preparation by the SKAN team
Review of available system data, preparation of the report template, and coordination before the on-site visit.
3
On-site assessment
Systematic inspection of the isolator based on piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and visual inspection.
4
Data collection and evaluation
Collection of operating parameters, maintenance and calibration data, decontamination cycles, and available monitoring information. Recording and documentation of relevant findings.
5
Report preparation
Consolidation of all results into a structured report with a clear assessment of the system condition.
6
Follow-up discussion
Joint review of results and recommendations, including definition of possible next steps.
Service highlights
Clear decision-making basis through structured assessment
Risk minimization
The health check provides a traceable, comprehensive, and documented assessment of the actual condition of the isolator. This helps reduce the risk of unplanned downtime, for example, due to obsolete components.
Future-oriented recommendations
Based on the analysis, you receive concrete recommendations regarding maintenance, spare parts, retrofit, or potential replacement. This provides an objective, data-driven basis for subsequent decisions.
Efficient execution
You only need to provide the relevant documentation; SKAN takes care of the execution and evaluation. As the manufacturer, we are familiar with all critical aspects of the isolator and can perform the health check efficiently.
