Installation Qualification Protocol for Induction Sealing Machine
Document ID: IQ-IS-001
Version: 1.0
Date: 2023-10-01
Prepared by: Validation Team
Reviewed by: Quality Assurance
Approved by: Department Head
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Induction Sealing Machine is installed correctly and operates according to the specified requirements defined in the User Requirement Specification (URS) Annex11.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Installation Qualification of the Induction Sealing Machine used in the Packaging/Primary area for sealing liners in Solid Dosage Form (OSD) products.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for executing the IQ protocol and documenting results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the IQ documentation.
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for providing technical support during the installation process.
Prerequisites
- Completion of the equipment installation by the vendor.
- Availability of the necessary documentation (user manuals, installation manuals).
- Training of personnel on equipment operation.
Equipment Description
The Induction Sealing Machine is designed to seal liners in containers using electromagnetic induction technology. It is critical for maintaining product integrity and preventing contamination.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation location and utilities (power, air, etc.). | All utilities meet specifications. | Photographic evidence and utility checklists. |
| IQ-02 | Check equipment setup and alignment. | Equipment is correctly aligned and secured. | Alignment verification report. |
| IQ-03 | Verify critical parameter settings (power conveyor speed, seal integrity). | Settings match URS Annex11 specifications. | Parameter settings log. |
| IQ-04 | Perform a dry run of the machine. | No errors or malfunctions detected. | Dry run log and observations. |
