Event Overview:

More biologics than ever are shifting from IV infusion to SC self-administration at home, and rising dose volumes are placing new demands on every part of the injection system. Meeting those demands means every component, from the elastomer plunger to the primary container to the device, must perform reliably at volumes once reserved for clinical infusion.

Join Datwyler, SCHOTT Pharma, and Ypsomed for an exclusive webinar taking a closer look at three such parts, the plunger, the syringe, and the device, through the lens of three partners who designed and tested their solutions as one system rather than in isolation. You'll learn why self-delivery solutions are essential to the IV-to-SC transition, from clinical to home treatment, and why a collaborative approach to designing and assessing platform solutions reduces risk and speeds development.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Why the IV-to-SC shift is raising the bar. How the move toward home self-administration is increasing dose volumes, and what that means for the performance demands placed on injection systems.
• How each component meets large-volume requirements. What the plunger, syringe, and device each need to deliver individually to support large-volume SC injection, and how they were engineered to do so.
• Why system-level compatibility matters more than component performance alone. How testing the plunger, syringe, and device together, rather than independently, reveals what "large-volume SC" actually requires in practice

Who Should Attend:

• Quality/regulatory personnel in parenteral drug delivery
• Formulation scientists and packaging engineers
• Device development engineers and managers
• Technical functions surrounding drug delivery systems
• Extractable and leachable experts
• Procurement professionals
