Document Number: IQ-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Review Date: [Insert Date]
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Sanitary Transfer Pump is installed correctly and functions as intended for the transfer of sterile and non-sterile solutions in the production area.
Scope
This protocol applies to the installation qualification of the Sanitary Transfer Pump used in the production of Nasal & Otic Products. It covers all critical parameters that impact product quality.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol, while the Quality Assurance Team will review and approve the results.
Prerequisites
- Completion of equipment installation as per the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Availability of relevant documentation (URS, equipment manuals).
- Training of personnel on equipment operation.
Equipment Description
The Sanitary Transfer Pump is designed for the transfer of sterile and non-sterile solutions in a controlled environment. It features a flow rate control mechanism and shear seal integrity to ensure product safety and compliance.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-TP-001 | Verify installation according to manufacturer’s specifications. | All components installed as per guidelines. | Installation checklist signed by technician. |
| IQ-TP-002 | Check flow rate of the pump. | Flow rate meets specifications in URS. | Flow rate measurement report. |
| IQ-TP-003 | Assess shear seal integrity. | No leaks observed during operation. | Leak test report. |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case: IQ-TP-001
Procedure: Verify that all components of the Sanitary Transfer Pump are installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This includes checking the alignment, connections, and securing of all parts.
Acceptance Criteria: All components must be installed correctly without any deviations from the installation manual.
Evidence: Installation checklist signed by the technician responsible for the installation.
Test Case: IQ-TP-002
Procedure: Measure the flow rate of the pump using calibrated equipment to ensure it meets the specifications outlined in the User Requirements Specification (URS).
Acceptance Criteria: The flow rate must fall within the specified range in the URS.
Evidence: Documented flow rate measurement report.
Test Case: IQ-TP-003
Procedure: Conduct a shear seal integrity test by operating the pump under normal conditions and inspecting for any leaks.
Acceptance Criteria: No leaks should be observed during the operation of the pump.
Evidence: Completed leak test report documenting the results.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. Appropriate corrective actions should be taken to ensure compliance with the specifications.
