Installation Qualification Protocol for Sterile Powder Compounding Vessel
Objective: To verify that the Sterile Powder Compounding Vessel (Jacketed SS) is installed correctly and operates according to the specified requirements for the preparation of sterile bulk solutions before lyophilization.
Scope: This protocol applies to the Installation Qualification of the Sterile Powder Compounding Vessel located in the production area for sterile powders and lyophilized products.
Responsibilities:
- Validation Manager: Oversee the IQ process and ensure compliance with validation protocols.
- Quality Assurance: Review and approve the IQ protocol and results.
- Engineering: Conduct the installation and provide necessary documentation.
- Production: Operate the equipment and assist in testing.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of equipment installation as per manufacturer’s specifications.
- Availability of all necessary documentation (URS, specifications, etc.).
- Training of personnel on equipment operation and safety procedures.
Equipment Description:
The Sterile Powder Compounding Vessel is a jacketed stainless steel vessel designed for the preparation of sterile bulk solutions. It features controls for agitation speed, temperature, and hold time, with a PLC audit trail for data integrity.
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-001 | Verify installation of the Sterile Powder Compounding Vessel. | Installation meets all manufacturer specifications. | Installation checklist signed off by Engineering. |
| IQ-002 | Check PLC audit trail functionality. | Audit trail logs all operations without errors. | PLC audit trail report. |
| IQ-003 | Test agitation speed settings. | Agitation speed within specified range. | Calibration report and test results. |
| IQ-004 | Verify temperature control. | Temperature maintained within specified limits. | Temperature mapping report. |
| IQ-005 | Check hold time functionality. | Hold time accurately recorded and maintained. | Hold time log. |
Detailed Test Cases:
- Test Case for IQ-001: Inspect the physical installation of the vessel and confirm all connections are secure.
- Test Case for IQ-002: Simulate operations and verify that the PLC logs all actions accurately without any discrepancies.
- Test Case for IQ-003: Set the agitation speed to specified levels and measure the actual speed using a calibrated tachometer.
- Test Case for IQ-004: Use calibrated thermocouples to measure the temperature during operation and compare with set points.
- Test Case for IQ-005: Record the hold time during a test run and verify against the specified duration.
Deviations: Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A corrective action plan should be developed and approved by Quality Assurance.
