Ralf is performing site engineering on behalf of the process plant that is producing parenterals, at the Roche site in Kaiseraugst.

The production of parenterals, i.e. of injection and infusion solutions for medical application, is a matter requiring a particular degree of care and attention, since every possible risk to the patient must be excluded.

As in the production of other liquid pharmaceutical preparations, the materials and processing have to meet the most stringent quality requirements. Absolute sterility is only one of the key factors in the manufacturing process. In addition, a large number of national and international standards and statutory provisions have to be complied with.
