Tags: Equipment Validation, DQ, Glass Lined Reactor, API Manufacturing

Objective

The objective of this Design Qualification (DQ) protocol is to ensure that the Glass Lined Reactor (GLR) is designed, installed, and operates in accordance with the specified requirements for chemical synthesis in API manufacturing.

Scope

This protocol applies to the Glass Lined Reactor (GLR) used in the production area for chemical synthesis reactions, impacting the product directly and categorized as critical.

Responsibilities

The responsibilities for this protocol include:

• Validation Team: Preparation and execution of the DQ protocol.
• Quality Assurance: Review and approval of the document.
• Production Team: Operation and maintenance of the GLR.

Prerequisites

• Completion of User Requirement Specification (URS).
• Installation of the Glass Lined Reactor (GLR).
• Training of personnel on GLR operation.

Equipment Description

The Glass Lined Reactor (GLR) is designed for chemical synthesis and purification processes. It features:

• Temperature Control
• Pressure Control
• Agitation Control
• Reaction Control via PLC
• Audit Trail Capabilities

Test Plan

Detailed Test Cases

Test Case T1: Verify Temperature Control

• Procedure: Set the reactor to the specified temperature and monitor for stability.
• Acceptance Criteria: Temperature should remain within ±2°C of the set point for 30 minutes.
• Evidence: Temperature log from the control system.

Test Case T2: Verify Pressure Control

• Procedure: Set the reactor to the specified pressure and monitor for stability.
• Acceptance Criteria: Pressure should remain within ±5 psi of the set point for 30 minutes.
• Evidence: Pressure log from the control system.

Test Case T3: Verify Agitation Control

• Procedure: Set the reactor to the specified agitation speed and monitor for stability.
• Acceptance Criteria: Agitation speed should remain within ±10 RPM of the set point for 30 minutes.
• Evidence: RPM log from the control system.

Test Case T4: Verify Reaction Control via PLC

• Procedure: Initiate a reaction and monitor PLC controls for proper functioning.
• Acceptance Criteria: PLC should log all critical parameters and maintain control throughout the reaction.
• Evidence: PLC audit trail report.

Deviations

Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A corrective action plan should be established to address the root cause of the deviation.

Approvals

This document requires the following approvals:

• Validation Team Lead: ______________________
• Quality Assurance Manager: ______________________
• Production Manager: ______________________

Data Integrity Checks

As CSV is required for this stage, the following data integrity checks will be performed:

• Ensure all critical parameter logs are time-stamped.
• Verify that data entries are not altered post-execution without proper documentation.
• Conduct regular audits of the CSV system to ensure compliance with data integrity standards.
