What CCIT.S.A does
CCIT.S.A is a Switzerland-based Container Closure Integrity (CCI) testing organization headquartered in St-Prex, operating as the European Center of Excellence for Packaging Technologies & Inspection (PTI) following its acquisition on July 1, 2022. The company was founded in 2015 by PTI founder Tony Stauffer and serves pharmaceutical, medical device, and nutrition manufacturers across Europe. Its core capability is deterministic leak detection of sterile barrier systems used in injectable drugs, biologics, medical devices, and nutrition packaging, performed under FDA, ASTM, and USP regulatory frameworks.
The company's technical foundation rests on proprietary and patent-pending HVLDMC (High Voltage Leak Detection MicroCurrent) methodology, augmented by Cold Storage testing capability validated to -140°C for cryogenic pharmaceutical applications, and Automated Inline Solutions for production-line inspection. CCIT.S.A also distributes and supports equipment from its broader product range, including the Cryo Chiller module, enabling customers to perform integrity validation in-house. The combination of laboratory testing services and equipment integration allows the company to engage customers at multiple stages of their CCI validation lifecycle.
CCIT.S.A's business model is a hybrid of fee-for-service laboratory testing and equipment sales, distribution, and technical support, channeled through PTI's network of 30+ global partners. The European Center of Excellence designation concentrates CCI expertise in St-Prex and provides a continental hub for PTI's pharmaceutical customer base. Revenue is generated from regulated enterprise customers requiring validated CCI testing for product release and regulatory submission, with contract structures typical of B2B industrial testing—project-based engagements, equipment sales, and ongoing support agreements. Customer logos, contract values, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Products and services
- VeriPac Series (Vacuum Decay) PTI's VeriPac vacuum decay leak testing instruments provide non-destructive container closure integrity testing for rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible packaging formats. The series includes models 310, 355, 410, 425, 455, 465, LPX, and FLEX, with the PERMA-VAC technology providing enhanced sensitivity for parenteral packaging applications.
- E-Scan Series (MicroCurrent HVLD) PTI's E-Scan product line utilizes MicroCurrent High Voltage Leak Detection (HVLDMC) technology for non-destructive inspection of liquid-filled parenteral packaging including vials, prefilled syringes, cartridges, and ampoules. Uses approximately 50% less voltage than conventional HVLD solutions, suitable for low-conductivity sterile water for injection and proteinaceous products.
- Seal-Scan (Offline Airborne Ultrasound) PTI's Seal-Scan is an offline non-contact airborne ultrasonic seal quality inspection system that evaluates seal integrity in flexible packaging. Uses ultrasonic waves to identify defects such as voids, delaminations, foreign materials, incomplete seals, and misaligned seals across materials including Tyvek, paper, foil, film, aluminum, plastic and laminated materials.
- Seal-Sensor (Online Airborne Ultrasound) PTI's Seal-Sensor provides 100% inline inspection of pouch seals on production lines using airborne ultrasound technology. Automatically detects and rejects defective pouches, identifying common seal defects such as voids, delaminations, incomplete seals, and misaligned seals in real-time.
- SIMS 1915+ (Seal Integrity Monitoring System) PTI's SIMS 1915+ is a helium-based leak testing system featuring an oil-free pump, detector, and integrated power system. Enables quantitative analysis of package systems at sensitivity levels as low as 1x10^-10 cc/s at room temperature, with applications for cold form blister cards, foil pouches, parenteral vials, syringes, and medical devices.
- Feasibility Studies Experimental feasibility studies to evaluate and determine the best CCI technology and test method for specific packaging applications. Establishes optimal test parameters and Limit of Detection (LoD) for deterministic quantitative CCI solutions.
- Test Method Development and Consulting Consultative service for test method development, container qualification, and system suitability testing. Includes optimization of test parameters, pass/fail criteria, and validation checks for specific applications.
- PTI Equipment Support Analytical leak detection services and expertise in package integrity testing equipment including installation, training, validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), calibration, maintenance, and spare parts support.
- Package Development Services Consulting service to assist clients in developing optimal package designs for CCI assurance. Compares different designs and package components by providing real data about leak rates.
- Helium Leak Testing Services Full range of in-house Helium Leak Testing Services supporting R&D work, component/materials selection, packaging equipment qualification, and ongoing quality monitoring.
- Cold Storage Helium Testing Helium testing service using the Cryo Chiller module to test products requiring sub-zero ultra-cold temperature storage, enabling CCI testing at temperatures as low as -140°C for ultra-cold pharmaceuticals.
- CCIT Training Services Broad training course covering all aspects of CCI including method comparisons, MALL (Maximum Allowable Leak Limit), regulatory guidance, and hands-on training.
- Regulatory Requirement Training General training about CCI regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical, medical device, and nutrition package integrity testing.
- Sampling Plan Consulting Help clients evaluate their statistical sampling plans to verify compliance with all relevant regulations.
- Proof of Concept A Proof of Concept is a short-term, pre-sales study to evaluate whether a selected inspection technology can reliably detect known defects or meet specific testing criteria for a specific container or packaging system.
- Automated Inline Inspection Solutions Automated inspection solutions across all PTI technology platforms (Vacuum Decay, Airborne Ultrasound, HVLDMC) ranging from automated SPC testing to fully automated robotic pick-and-place package handling for parenteral fill-finish environments.
