Abstract

As operational standardization, regulatory compliance, and aseptic safety protocols become increasingly critical in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, conventional training methods—such as manuals, static diagrams, and video tutorials—are proving insufficient for preparing personnel to perform complex procedures consistently and safely. In response to these limitations, this study presents the design and development of a virtual reality (VR)-based training system tailored for the aseptic assembly and operation of sterile sampling devices.

Developed using Unity3D and Autodesk 3ds Max, the system offers high-fidelity 3D models and immersive interaction through HTC Vive Pro and SteamVR, simulating a complete workflow from component identification and device assembly to sterilization and sample collection. Unlike traditional setups, which provide minimal opportunities for repeated practice due to the high cost and single-use nature of sterile components, the VR environment enables intuitive, contamination-free, and repeatable procedural rehearsal.

The system was evaluated through hands-on demonstrations at pharmaceutical technology forums involving 20 participants, including students, early-career technicians, and researchers from pharmaceutical and biomedical engineering backgrounds. Feedback highlighted the system’s instructional clarity, interactivity, and educational value. While the current validation focuses on novice and intermediate users, future studies are planned to assess applicability for experienced professionals. This VR-based platform offers a scalable, cost-effective solution for foundational training in aseptic device handling.
