Installation Qualification Protocol for Liposome Extruder
This document outlines the Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol for the Extrusion System utilized in the production of Liposomes and Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP).
Objective: To verify that the Extrusion System is installed correctly and operates according to specified requirements.
Scope: This protocol applies to the Extrusion System located in the R&D/Production area, ensuring compliance with URS Annex11.
Responsibilities:
- Validation Team: Conduct IQ testing and documentation.
- Quality Assurance: Review and approve the IQ protocol.
- Maintenance Team: Ensure equipment is installed and maintained properly.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of equipment installation.
- Availability of all necessary documentation (URS, equipment manuals, etc.).
- Training of personnel on equipment operation and validation procedures.
Equipment Description:
The Extrusion System (Liposome Extruder) is designed for size control of liposomes and lipid nanoparticles via membrane extrusion. The system is critical for ensuring product quality and consistency.
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation against equipment specifications. | All components are installed as per specifications. | Installation checklist signed off. |
| IQ-02 | Check calibration of pressure gauge. | Pressure gauge within ±5% of standard. | Calibration certificate. |
| IQ-03 | Verify membrane pore size. | Pore size matches specifications. | Membrane specifications document. |
| IQ-04 | Record operational temperature and flow rates. | Temperature and flow rates within specified limits. | Operational logs. |
Detailed Test Cases:
- Test Case IQ-01: Inspect all installation components for conformity to specifications.
- Test Case IQ-02: Conduct calibration checks on the pressure gauge and document results.
- Test Case IQ-03: Measure membrane pore size using appropriate analytical techniques.
- Test Case IQ-04: Monitor and record temperature and flow rates during initial operation.
Deviations:
Any deviations from acceptance criteria must be documented and assessed. A corrective action plan will be developed and implemented as necessary.
