Product inspection should begin immediately after preparation or just before it leaves the pharmacy. Ideally the container should be free of labels or attachments during the inspection process and the inspector should wear talc-free gloves.
Two lights are mounted in the box. A White fluorescent light is mounted at the top of the box. A Black UV light is mounted at the bottom. Utilizing each light independently, the inspector should grip the container by its top and slowly swirl the contents (avoiding vigorous swirling) in a circular motion. Any air bubbles created should rise to the top of the container.
The inspector should hold the container about four inches above or below the light source (depending on which is being utilized at the time). In a motion from left to right, the container should be passed in front of the Black background first and then the White background and back again. The container should then be inverted and passed again before both backgrounds. A magnifying glass is attached to the box and could be utilized during this procedure for closer visual inspection.
Particulate matter usually remains at an even level or drops to the bottom of the container. The Black UV light aids in the visualization of glass or crystalline particulate and some types of bacterial. The White fluorescent light aids in visualizing solid particulate such as rubber cores, lint, chemical precipitate, hair, dust, or other particles.
