German term
Wasserkopf
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
medication manufacture
The context here is the quality control associated with the filling of vials, ampoules etc. with medicines on a production line.
One of the fault conditions that causes these vials/ampoules to be rejected is "Wasserkopf", with no textual hint of what this means in this context.
Any ideas are appreciated.
