Instrument Service Provider (ISP): Metallic Material of Construction At PACIV, we understand the significant role played by the materials used to construct instruments. Pharmaceutical applications require materials that comply with hygienic standards and meet FDA/ASME regulations. A good example is the type of metal used in wetted materials (the surfaces which come into contact with the process). Stainless steel is the primary metal used in instruments where hygienic conformity is required. It proves to be superior to other materials due to its properties, which meet the criteria of the pharmaceutical industry. Properties of Stainless Steel: • Resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion • Relatively affordable for hygienic applications • Abundant availability • Resists wear and fluctuations in temperature • Easy to clean and maintain sterility • Smooth polishing prevents lingering media Example of instruments commonly ordered with stainless steel: • Flow Valves • Thermowells • Analytical Sensors • Level Detectors As part of the instrumentation services provided by PACIV, we ensure that inspected instruments are verified to contain materials conforming to required standards through traceable documentation. Properly documented material construction is a key aspect of maintaining FDA compliance and keeping the product safe for the end user.
Instrument Service Provider (ISP): Ensuring Quality and Reliability [Tackling Instrumentation Nonconformance] At PACIV, our engineers conduct thorough inspections and receipt verifications for every instrument delivered to our climate-controlled warehouse. When nonconformances are detected, our experienced team addresses and resolves these issues swiftly. By leveraging our extensive supplier network and collaborative approach, we ensure that all instruments meet the highest standards. Our ultimate goal is to maintain consistent quality across the project, ensuring timely delivery and readiness for commissioning and qualification. We take pride in our ability to identify and rectify issues swiftly, ensuring that your projects proceed smoothly and efficiently. Trust us to handle your instrumentation needs with the highest level of expertise and care. Trust PACIV for flawless instrumentation. 🚀 #Instrumentation #QualityControl #EngineeringExcellence
At PACIV, we prioritize keeping our team trained and proficient in our core services: Automation, Validation, Instrumentation, and Control Panels. Technical competency is a pillar of our business. Given the diverse projects we handle—whether in the office, field, or construction site—safety remains paramount. Our teams receive regular training and updates on topics such as First Aid and OSHA regulations. Yesterday, some of our team members received this crucial training at our Indianapolis shop, which we've transformed into an impromptu training center.
Exciting news! The CFO/VP of Administration, Douglas [Mácar] Garrote, has been invited to share PACIV's story about Blackford Capital’s acquisition next Friday, May 24th. The goal is to help others understand how to prepare for that pivotal moment when a buyer shows interest in acquiring your business. Mácar will provide insights from the seller’s perspective, including the due diligence process. Don’t miss it!
