- Indonesia introduces the nation’s first halal-certified syringe, the T1 Syringe, produced locally by Terumo Corporation and PT Oneject Indonesia with eco-friendly E-Beam sterilization technology.
- The T1 Syringe launch marks a milestone for Indonesia’s medical industry, combining halal standards, sustainability, and global manufacturing excellence.
- With its halal-certified T1 Syringe, Indonesia advances health sovereignty and strengthens its global reputation in medical device innovation.
In a historic step for the country’s medical industry, Indonesia has unveiled its first locally produced halal-certified syringe. The Health Ministry announced the launch of the T1 Syringe, calling it more than just a business achievement—it represents a national platform for education and advocacy on safe, halal, and high-quality medical devices.
According to Zulfikar Biruni, Head of the Medical Device Domestic Use and TKDN Enhancement Working Group at the Ministry of Health, the initiative aims to boost national medical industry independence and enhance global market confidence in Indonesian-made healthcare products. The launch took place in Jakarta on Wednesday (Jan. 21).
The T1 Syringe is the result of collaboration between Terumo Corporation and PT Oneject Indonesia. It marks the first halal syringe produced domestically using Electron Beam (E-Beam) sterilization technology. Terumo, a century-old global medical technology manufacturer, and Oneject, a pioneer in Indonesia’s Auto Disable Syringe (ADS) production, joined forces to make this milestone possible.
Designed to meet daily operational needs of healthcare workers, the product emphasizes both halal standards and global quality. Its E-Beam sterilization method avoids chemical use, leaves no residue, and is more eco-friendly than conventional sterilization processes.
This technology ensures every syringe is sterile, safe, and ready for use immediately after leaving the production facility. Toshiyuki Akaike, Chairman and Managing Director of Terumo Asia Holdings, noted that the launch represents a key milestone for Indonesia’s medical device industry and its integration into the global supply chain of high-quality products.
“Through the T1 Syringe, we uphold three commitments: Halal, E-Beam Irradiation, and Global Trust,” Akaike said. “We believe healthcare should be inclusive, safe, and sustainable, without compromising international quality standards.
PT Oneject Indonesia President Director Jahja Tear Tjahjana highlighted that the collaboration embodies integration of halal values, patient safety, environmental sustainability, and global standards into one essential medical device. He said the project also reflects growing global confidence in Indonesia’s capacity to manufacture world-class health equipment.
“T1 Syringe Terumo is Indonesia’s first halal syringe certified for its local manufacturing process. This certification ensures every patient can receive care with full peace of mind—as a reflection of respect for individual values and cultural diversity,” Jahja said.
PT Terumo Indonesia, as a leading player in medical technology, reaffirmed its commitment to support Indonesia’s health sector through innovation, community care, and alignment with government policies to enhance national medical industry sovereignty by promoting competitive, high-quality local medical products.
