Objective
The objective of this Operational Qualification (OQ) protocol is to verify the operational performance of the Suppository Leak Test Machine, ensuring it meets specified requirements for verifying suppository integrity.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Suppository Leak Test Machine used in the Production/QC area for the direct impact on product quality.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol, documenting results, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. The Quality Assurance (QA) team will review and approve the protocol and results.
Prerequisites
All personnel involved in this qualification must be trained on the equipment and relevant SOPs. The Suppository Leak Test Machine must be installed and operational prior to executing this protocol.
Equipment Description
The Suppository Leak Test Machine is designed to test the integrity of suppositories by assessing their ability to maintain a leak-proof seal. This instrument is critical for ensuring product quality and safety.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| OQ-001-01 | Perform leak sensitivity audit trail logs | Logs must show no discrepancies | Audit trail reports |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case ID: OQ-001-01
Test Description: Execute the leak sensitivity test to verify that the machine operates within specified limits.
Steps:
- Set up the machine according to the SOP.
- Load the test suppositories.
- Initiate the leak test sequence.
- Record the audit trail logs.
Expected Results: The machine should complete the test without any errors, and the audit trail should indicate no discrepancies.
Deviations
Any deviations from this protocol must be documented and reviewed by the QA team. A deviation report must be generated for any non-conformance observed during testing.
Approvals
This protocol must be approved by the Validation Manager and the QA Manager before execution.
Data Integrity Checks
Ensure that all data logged during the test is securely stored and backed up. Regular checks should be performed to confirm that no data has been altered or deleted.
