1. Purpose
The purpose of this MEMO is to describe the instructions required to perform a risk/impact evaluation of
Domino printer change on Colimatic Packaging Machines WC-179 and WC-228; located on facilities of
Copan Industries at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. It is in order to maintain operations without any impact on
packaging process validated.
2. Background
Colimatic Packaging Machine WC-179 and WC-228 were validated on 2021/10/26 and 2021/02/16,
respectively. Table 1 summarize the information of printer component validated by machine, refer to
Appendix I.
Both printers are used on packaging process to print the variable data related to production order. There
are: code, batch number, lot number and expiration date.
The Domino printers listed on Table 1 have the manual Part No. EDP002568/5. This document contains
basic operation instructions for the Domino A-Series i-Tech ink jet printers. This A-Series is a
continuous ink jet printer that uses either 1 or 2 jets (depending on configuration) for printing on a user
supplied substrate. The intended use of this printers is for printing variable data on manufacturing
production lines. For A420i and A520i models, i-Tech module replacement will vary according to the
type specified. For these printers, the operation of equipment is by push bottom access.
In other hand, a minor change will be proposed by Technician Department to obtain same model of
Domino Printer presented on Table 1 but with an upgrade related to i-Tech module. These new Domino
printers have the manual Part No. EPT006508. This document contains instructions for use in the
operation and repair of Domino A-Series i-Tech printers equipped with touchscreen displays. For these
printers, the operation of equipment is by touchscreen access. For A420i and A520i model
specifications follows the same established on manual Part No. EDP002568/5.

Domino Printer for Packaging Machine WC-179 & WC-228
This evaluation will be applicable to Domino printers installed on Colimatic Packaging Machines WC-
179 and WC-228 and the new Domino printers acquired. Refer to Table 2 for details of new Domino
printers.
In order to identify the risks or consequences of this change, the following is considered as decision-
making tool related to Form-Fit-Function-Failure, refer to Figure 1:
Figure 1 Like-for-Like Decision-Making Tool
Guidance and tools are required to ensure decisions taken are consistent with company polices regardless
of the decision-makers background, experience, or shift pattern. It is expected the Like-for-Like
decision-making tool, if used when accessing equipment changes, will reduce any hidden risk to product
quality, patient’s safety, and business. A comparative between current Domino printers with new
Domino printers will be performed according to like-for-like decision-making tool (refer to Figure 1).
For all test listed on this tool will be generated to collect the results after evaluation.
