Syringe Crimping Machine – DQ Protocol

Design Qualification Protocol for Syringe Crimping Machine

This document outlines the Design Qualification (DQ) Protocol for the Syringe Crimping Machine used in the production of prefilled syringes and cartridges.

Document Number: DQ-001

Version: 1.0

Effective Date: 2023-10-01

Reviewed By: [Name]

Approval Date: [Date]

Objective

The objective of this protocol is to establish that the Syringe Crimping Machine is designed and installed according to specified requirements, ensuring its operational reliability for securing crimp seals on prefilled syringes and cartridges.

Scope

This protocol applies to the Design Qualification of the Syringe Crimping Machine used in the production area for prefilled syringes and cartridges. It encompasses the assessment of critical parameters and compliance with the User Requirements Specification (URS) Annex 11.

Responsibilities

The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol, documenting results, and ensuring compliance with validation standards. The Quality Assurance (QA) team will review and approve the documentation.

Prerequisites

  • Completion of the User Requirements Specification (URS).
  • Installation of the Syringe Crimping Machine.
  • Availability of personnel trained in validation processes.

Equipment Description

The Syringe Crimping Machine is designed to securely crimp seals on prefilled syringes and cartridges, ensuring a direct impact on product integrity. The machine operates with specific crimp force parameters and maintains an audit trail of operations.

Test Plan

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Criteria Evidence
T1 Verify crimp force settings Crimp force within specified range Calibration report
T2 Check diameter audit trail logs Logs accurately reflect crimping operations Audit trail printout

Detailed Test Cases

Test Case T1: Verify Crimp Force Settings

Procedure: Set the machine to the specified crimp force. Measure the force during operation.

Acceptance Criteria: The measured crimp force must fall within the defined range established in the URS.

Evidence: Calibration report showing compliance with specifications.

Test Case T2: Check Diameter Audit Trail Logs

Procedure: Review the audit trail logs generated by the machine during crimping operations.

Acceptance Criteria: The logs must accurately reflect the crimping operations and associated parameters.

Evidence: Printout of the audit trail logs for review.

Deviations

Any deviations from the established acceptance criteria must be documented, with an explanation and corrective actions proposed. All deviations require approval from the QA team.
