2.1 Overview
GMP ("Good Manufacturing Practice") is a set of guidelines for assuring the quality of produc-
tion processes in controlledindustries and closely follow the guidelines issued by the European
Commission or the FDA in the US. GMP applications are typically used in the pharmaceutical
and food industries. However, products that conform with GMP guidelines are also required for
the manufacture of cosmetics and fragrances or fl avors.
The materials selected, design of the surfaces and architecture of the overall system should
prevent the accumulation of fluids and dirt. Cleaning, maintenance, inspection and servicing
must be as safe and easy as the processes employed for the disinfection of mechanical com-
ponents.
The VisuNet GMP product portfolio extends from simple direct monitors and remote monitor
systems with Ethernet connection to a host, to complete PCs available with single or dual mon-
itor systems and various mounting options. All models feature a 19-inch display with an
optional touch screen. The stainless steel housings have an IP65 degree of protection. Remote
monitors and PCs are equipped with Ethernet, USB, PS/2 and RS232 interfaces.
The VisuNet GMP product family guarantees a perfect fit for every system infrastructure. Four
models are available depending on the functions required, the display and input unit and the
distance over which the data is transferred. This manual describes the VisuNet GMP Direct
Monitor (DM):
VisuNet GMP DM are direct monitors, which are directly connected to the VGA interface of the
