Objective
The objective of this Operational Qualification (OQ) protocol is to validate the Patch Inspection Machine to ensure it operates according to specified requirements for inspecting transdermal patches.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Patch Inspection Machine used in the production area for inspecting the dimensions and defects of transdermal patches. It covers the critical parameters necessary for ensuring product quality and compliance with regulatory standards.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol and documenting the results. The Quality Assurance (QA) department will review and approve the results.
Prerequisites
- Completion of Installation Qualification (IQ)
- Availability of the Patch Inspection Machine
- Training of personnel on equipment operation
Equipment Description
The Patch Inspection Machine is a system designed to inspect transdermal patches for dimensional accuracy and defects. It utilizes a vision system for high-precision inspections.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| OQ-TDS-001-01 | Verify detection accuracy of the vision system | Detection accuracy ≥ 99% | Test report |
| OQ-TDS-001-02 | Test reject logic functionality | Reject logic triggers for defects | System logs |
| OQ-TDS-001-03 | Audit trail verification | Audit trail is complete and accurate | Audit trail report |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case 1: Detection Accuracy
Procedure: Run a series of known defective patches through the inspection machine. Record the detection results.
Acceptance Criteria: The machine must detect at least 99% of the defects.
Evidence: Documented results from the test run.
Test Case 2: Reject Logic Functionality
Procedure: Introduce known defects and observe if the machine rejects them correctly.
Acceptance Criteria: The machine must reject all defective patches.
Evidence: System logs showing rejected patches.
Test Case 3: Audit Trail Verification
Procedure: Review the audit trail generated during the testing process.
Acceptance Criteria: The audit trail must accurately reflect all operations performed during the qualification.
Evidence: Audit trail report.
Deviations
Any deviations observed during the qualification process must be documented and reviewed by the QA department. Appropriate corrective actions will be taken as necessary.
