Abstract
In aseptic operating production, the master plan for monitoring of the isolator provides meaningful information about the quality of the direct status of the aseptic manufacturing environment. Over a longer period of time, (trends) a consistent monitoring program allows to detect changes in the status “free of germs” of the isolator. The monitoring of the isolator helps to identify possible routes of contamination quickly and allows taking appropriate corrective action.
