“Documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes.” QUALIFICATION The premises, the supporting utilities, the equipment and the processes have been designed in accordance with the requirements of GMP. This normally constitutes Design Qualification or DQ. Design qualification […]
Step 1: Measure the length, width and height of the room using a good old fashioned tape measure 🙂 This will determine the size of the room or in other words its volume. Length x Width x Height = Step 2: Using a device called a ‘balometer’ measure the air supply coming out of the […]
A cleanroom or clean room is an environment, typically used in manufacturing or scientific research that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors. More accurately, a clean-room has a controlledlevel of contamination that is specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a […]
Manufacture of sterile pharmaceutical preparations, four grades of clean areas are distinguished as follows: Grade A: The local zone for high-risk operations, e.g. filling and making aseptic connections. Normally such conditions are achieved by using a unidirectional airflow workstation. Unidirectional air flow systems should provide a homogeneous air speed of 0.36–0.54 m/s (guidance value) at […]
3. Steps of Validation Validation plans for water and air systems typically include the following steps: 1. Establishing standards for quality attributes of water and air to manufacture pharmaceuticals. 2. Defining systems and subsystems suitable to produce the desired water and air by considering the quality grades of water and air. 3. Designing equipment, controls, […]
B. Validation life cycle 1. Determination of Quality Attributes In performing the validation, defining the quality attributes—that is, gaining a clear understanding of the required quality and intended use—is the most important issue, and should be determined before starting the validation. Without defining required quality attributes we cannot establish validation protocols, which are the basis […]
II. VALIDATION STRATEGY A. Validation Concept To prove the performance, one must demonstrate (document) that the processes or systems consistently produce the specified quantity and quality of water and/or air when operated and maintained according to specific written operating and maintenance procedures. In other words, validation involves proving 1. Engineering design 2. Operating procedures and […]
I. INTRODUCTION This article is written to guide and design how to set up validation procedure, one must recognize that for cleaning validation, as with validation of other processes, there may be more than one way to validate a process. In the end, the test of any validation process is whether scientific data shows that […]
