Thallium vials have to be released within 10 minutes of QC testing - and new European legislation requires that quality test results from every step in the manufacture of all pharmaceutical products must be reviewed by a `Qualified Person' before release for sale. A new computer system involving a package called BLISS has not only helped meet the stringent requirements but is highlighting potential problems before they become serious. The system has demonstrated accuracy of 99% and is pointing up areas for improvement that may not have been detected before. In a year the system will report on 2,200 final products with over 140,000 individual test results recorded on 17,000 samples.
