Optimization and control of the freeze-drying process of pharmaceutical products
First Claim
1. System for monitoring the lyophilisation process of a product in containers arranged inside a lyophilisation chamber, comprising a temperature measurement system associated with each container housed inside the lyophilisation chamber, capable of surveying local temperature data for each container, characterised in including:
- a wireless communication system for the temperature data surveyed, comprising means of transmission inside the chamber and means of receiving outside of it; and
means of processing of said data, located externally to the lyophilisation chamber, arranged to determine at least one parameter indicative of the progress of the lyophilisation process not measured by the measurement system, by means of a predetermined representation model of the process, capable of correlating a local temperature value of the container with said parameter.

Abstract
A system for monitoring the lyophilization process of a product in containers (4, 4a, 4b) arranged inside a lyophilization chamber, including a temperature measurement system (6) associated with each container housed inside (10) the lyophilization chamber, capable of surveying local temperature data for each container. The system includes a wireless communication system (8) for the surveyed temperature data and a processing module (16) for said data, located externally to the lyophilization chamber, programmed to determine at least one parameter indicative of the progress of the lyophilization process not measured by the measurement system, through the use of a predetermined representation model of the process, capable of correlating a local temperature value of the container with the parameter.
