Introduction
What Is DynaScan MediTEST?
DynaScan MediTEST is a cutting-edge vacuum force leak detection system engineered for meticulous quality control in packaging applications. Using vacuum technology paired with a touchscreen-controlled interface, the system identifies even the most microscopic leaks, as small as 10 microns, ensuring product integrity before it reaches the consumer. Its non-destructive testing approach allows for seamless reintegration of defect-free packaging into production lines, reducing waste and safeguarding product reliability.
Why Leak Detection Matters in Packaging
Leak detection is critical in industries where packaging integrity affects health, safety, and product longevity. In pharmaceuticals, improper sealing can compromise sterility; in food, it can lead to spoilage; in electronics, even minimal moisture ingress can cause failure. Traditional methods often destroy the test sample. MediTEST offers a more sustainable solution, providing fast, repeatable, and non-invasive results that enhance confidence in product quality.
Who Should Be Using DynaScan MediTEST?
MediTEST is ideal for manufacturers across various sectors who need to uphold rigorous packaging standards. This includes pharmaceutical producers adhering to FDA and CGMP regulations, food manufacturers focusing on shelf life and safety, and electronics companies protecting sensitive components from environmental exposure. Any business that values efficiency, compliance, and customer trust will find MediTEST a valuable addition to its QA process.

DynaScan MediTEST Overview
At its core, MediTEST is designed to expose weaknesses in flexible and semi-rigid packaging. Using a vacuum-based method, it can detect imperceptible leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed—helping to prevent costly recalls, reputational damage, and health risks.
One of the standout aspects of MediTEST is its non-destructive nature. Unlike traditional destructive methods such as dye ingress or burst testing, MediTEST allows tested packaging that passes inspection to be reintroduced into the supply chain, thereby reducing product loss and environmental impact.
Its flexible design and high degree of sensitivity make it suitable for a wide range of packaging types, including blister packs, sachets, pouches, and vacuum-sealed containers. Regardless of application, MediTEST can be adapted to provide accurate, efficient results.
Core Features of MediTEST
No Specialist Tooling Required
Traditional testing systems often require custom jigs or tooling to accommodate specific pack sizes. MediTEST’s self-adjusting sensor system removes this barrier, enabling fast configuration and reduced downtime. Operators can seamlessly transition between product lines with minimal effort.
Leak Detection Down to 10 Microns
The precision of MediTEST is remarkable, capable of detecting holes as small as 10 microns in diameter—approximately one-seventh the width of a human hair. This level of detection ensures that even micro-leaks, which could compromise sterility or product integrity, are quickly and reliably identified.
Modular Testing Units
Available in configurations for 2, 4, or 10 packs, MediTEST supports both small-batch testing and high-throughput environments. For companies with unique operational needs, custom configurations are available to ensure seamless integration into existing lines.
Touchscreen HMI and Stainless Steel Construction
The system’s touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) provides intuitive, real-time monitoring and control, available in screen sizes ranging from 8.4″ to 17″. This makes the interface accessible and legible in any workspace. The housing is made from Grade 304 stainless steel, offering durability, easy cleaning, and full compatibility with CGMP standards.
Short Cycle Times
MediTEST completes testing cycles in as little as 10 seconds, depending on the vacuum level, pack size, and internal headspace. This rapid performance makes it ideal for environments where throughput and efficiency are paramount.
Ergonomic and Flexible Design
A front-loading tray simplifies the loading process, allowing operators to conduct testing with minimal strain or training. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for benchtop use or integration into a custom workstation layout.
Intelligent Software & Data Management
The MediTEST software suite is engineered for precision and traceability. Operators can define testing perimeters quickly with a guided setup, reducing human error and standardising results. The intuitive software supports live monitoring and offers visual data representation for each test, making analysis immediate and actionable.
In compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, the system provides secure data logging, complete with timestamps, operator IDs, and batch references. This makes MediTEST ideal for regulated industries where traceability and data integrity are required.
USB and RS232 ports allow for seamless data export to external systems or direct printing. This feature supports efficient documentation practices and integration into broader quality management systems.
Customisation & Flexibility
DynaScan understands that no two production lines are alike. That’s why MediTEST is designed with modularity and adaptability at its core. Whether you’re testing unusually shaped packs or need equipment tailored to fit into a specific production footprint, DynaScan offers bespoke solutions to meet those demands.
The self-adjusting sensor system contributes to this flexibility, automatically accommodating variations in pack dimensions without the need for operator intervention. This eliminates the downtime associated with equipment changeovers and boosts productivity.
We finely tune each system to maintain maximum sensitivity while keeping test times short. This careful balance ensures high performance without sacrificing operational efficiency.
