telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance and medical equipment. The Indian healthcare
industry is growing at a tremendous pace due to its strengthening coverage, services and
increasing expenditure by public as well private players.

The Indian healthcare delivery system is categorized into two major components - public
and private. The Government, i.e. public healthcare system comprises limited secondary and
tertiary care institutions in key cities and focuses on providing basic healthcare facilities in the
form of primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in rural areas. The private sector provides majority of
secondary, tertiary and quaternary care institutions with a major concentration in metros, tier I
and tier II cities. India's primary competitive advantage lies in its large pool of well-trained
medical professionals. Also, India's cost advantage compared to peers in Asia and Western
countries is significant - cost of surgery in India is one-tenth of that in the US or Western
Europe.

1.3. COMPANY PROFILE

History

Peninsula Polymers (Penpol) Pvt Ltd., incorporated in 1983, was the brainchild of former
IAS officer, Mr.C.Balagopal. Captivated by a newspaper article on blood bag technology, the
young bureaucrat embarked on an entrepreneurial journey that led to pioneering steps in
biomedical device manufacture. Partnering with Sree Chitra Thirunal Institute for Medical
Sciences and Technology (known then as the Chitra Medical Centre), Penpol started production
in its factory in Trivandrum, Kerala, on 26th March 1987, with TTK Pharma as its sole sales
agent. In 1989, the company achieved some significant milestones like sending out its first
export shipment, and setting up its R&D division.

New Horizons

In the mid-1990s, although the Indian economy had opened up, imported medical
equipment was still expensive. More importantly, such equipment could not be serviced or
repaired easily. Penpol started manufacturing blood transfusion and allied equipment in 1996,
and, in 2001, the company began its export.

A Partnership across Boundaries

In 1999, Penpol entered into a joint venture with the multibillion dollar Terumo
Corporation of Japan, and changed its name to Terumo Penpol. By teaming up with an
international company that had a reputation for unimpeachably superior technology and global
marketing capability, Terumo Penpol took yet another step towards be-coming a world leader in
developing and manufacturing innovative devices, equipment and accessories for blood
transfusion.

In 2016 April Terumo Penpol became the subsidiary of Terumo Corporation, a


Japanese company with $5.8 billion in revenue and presence in over 80 countries. Terumo has
distinguished itself as a high quality manufacturer of medical products, with 20 factories around
the world and employs 19,934 people worldwide. Terumo is pioneering products of future like

2.2. PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

The policy of production department is to manufacture medical products as per the


international standards strictly in compliance with specification laid down in standards operating
procedures with minimum possible wastage of resources

Production Process Involves:

Selection of raw materials


Formulation
Processing

Raw Materials Used:

PVC

Formulation:

This is a critical aspect that involves careful selection of raw materials and proportions to be
used to achieve the range of desirable properties. It can be done by experiments followed by
various studies.

Processing:

Blood bags are made by welding together extruded plastic sheets. The bags are subjected to
autoclave sterilization at high temperatures and pressures and freezing temperatures in the blood
banks. They should also withstand processes like centrifuging, used to separate the various
components of blood. Various parts like connecting tubes, needles, outlet ports, special flow-
regulating valves, filters, safety features and sampling ports go into these bags, which are filled
with an anticoagulant solution that prevents blood from clotting.

Processing Steps:

The blood bag manufacturing unit has two lines

X-line
Y-line

University Institute Of Management, Poojappura 19


Internship at Terumo Penpol Pvt Ltd, 2016

X-LINE:

1. PVC Sheet Extrusion

The raw materials for sheet extrusion are compounded PVC pellets. A single screw
extruder is used for the continuous process; the major zones of the extruder are feed zone,
meeting zone, recompression zone, adapter zone and the dry zone.

2. PVC Tube Extrusion

The raw materials for tube extrusion are PVC compounded materials. The inner diameter
of tube is 3mm and outer diameter is 4.5mm. After extrusion serial number is printed on
the tube.

3. Injecting Molding

The outlet ports are manufactured through injection molding. The raw material used is
PVC pellets.

4. In Process Testing Of sheet

This is done to confirm quality before being used in manufacture of blood bags. The test
on tube involves chemical test and element test. The test on sheet also includes chemical
test and element test.

5. Tube And Compounding assembling

In tube assembling component of tube are broken off at junction which have cuts
provided at the stamping stage. Breaking of component is done as for the specifications
for each capacity and type of bag.

6. Welding/Bag Sealing

First the sheet is assembled with one embossed surface and plane surface facing the
inside of the bag to be made. Thus both the inside and outside are embossed as well as
the plane surface, then between the parallel arranged sheet. Then the tube and sheet are
ready for sealing.

University Institute Of Management, Poojappura 20


Internship at Terumo Penpol Pvt Ltd, 2016

7. New Process

This stage is relatively new in the TPLs blood bag production process. Two major
reasons contributed to the creation of new process stage- Sticking and leakage.

8. Labeling Of Bags

The labeling should be perfect. There are two types of labels; Pressure Sensitive Plastic
Label (PSPL) and Heat Sensitive Plastic Label (HSPL).

9. Preparation Of Anticoagulant Solution

Anticoagulant is the solution one which prevents clotting of blood. The solution is
prepared at TPL. Four types of solutions are prepared, namely; CPDM preserves blood
for 35 days, CPD for 42 days, and SAGM preserves blood for 42 days and has an
additive to preserve blood cells.

10. Filling

The solution in collection tank is re-entered to sub tanks of capacity of 50 liter each. The
bags filled with the solution are sent for packing.

11. Packing

Polypropylene covers are used for PVC blood packing. Packing is done manually. Bags
are inserted and the tube with needle, holding assembly and donor tubes are coiled into
the packet.

12. Sterilizing

Packed bags are now brought in for sterilization. It consists of two Processes:

Auto claving
Drying
13. Final inspection

Pinch off, lead, weld leak, stopper leak, transfusion leak, needle blend damages, label
rejection, CPDA stain/color change and other defects are checked.

3.3. LEARNING SUMMARIZATION

Internship study at Terumo Penpol Pvt Limited has helped in gaining experience as a
beginner. The working environment, the co-ordination among various departments, the technology
used in the production department and uncompromising attitude in the quality of the product they
make was all a new experience. The Quality department is in its full swing since only the materials
approved by the Quality department are sent to the production department. The raw materials, the
work in-process, and the finished goods undergo various tests to confirm the quality of the product.
Any fall from the department might prove bad to the reputation to the organization. The reputation
of the organization is mainly due to the quality of the product they make and they could meet the
demand of the customers. The organization is also eco-friendly since it doesnt dispose waste from
the factory as such to the environment. There is a Sewage Treatment Plant and an Effluent
Treatment Plant , were the STP treats the waste water from the canteen and toilet and the ETP
treats the chemical water from the plant. The treated water is used for gardening and rest is
disposed to the environment. The acoustic system used helps in preventing sound from the factory
polluting the environment.

The various works undertaken were also experience since it gave an idea on how to approach a
problem and what were the possible suggestions could be made. Though the record entry was
simple task but care should be taken since the number of hours entered is less or more then the
salary might vary which might cause loss to the organization or the employee. The distribution of
salary slip and overtime slip, helped in handling a huge crowd. The work shift allocation was also
a different experience.
