Operational Qualification Protocol for Patch Leak Test Machine

Objective:

The objective of this Operational Qualification (OQ) protocol is to verify the operational performance of the Patch Leak Test Machine used in the production of transdermal patches, ensuring the integrity of pouch seals.

Scope:

This protocol applies to the Patch Leak Test Machine located in the Production/QC area and is intended for use in the validation of equipment for transdermal patches.

Responsibilities:

  • Validation Team: Responsible for executing the OQ protocol and documenting results.
  • Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the protocol and results.
  • Production Staff: Responsible for operating the equipment during the qualification process.

Prerequisites:

  • Completion of Installation Qualification (IQ) for the Patch Leak Test Machine.
  • Training of personnel on the operation of the Patch Leak Test Machine.

Equipment Description:

The Patch Leak Test Machine is an instrument designed to verify the integrity of pouch seals in transdermal patches. It utilizes a sensitive leak detection method to ensure the quality and reliability of the product.

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Evidence
OQ-001 Conduct leak rate sensitivity audit trail logs. Leak rate must not exceed defined limits as per URS Annex11. Audit trail log report.
OQ-002 Verify calibration of the leak detection sensors. Calibration must be within specified range. Calibration certificate.
