Meta Description: This document outlines the Design Qualification Protocol for the Vision Inspection System used in the packaging of suppositories and implants, ensuring compliance with critical parameters.

Tags: Equipment Validation, Design Qualification, Vision Inspection, Packaging, Pharmaceutical

Objective

The objective of this Design Qualification (DQ) protocol is to establish the requirements and verification methods for the Vision Inspection System to ensure it meets the intended use in inspecting defects and packaging integrity for suppositories and implants.

Scope

This protocol applies to the Vision Inspection System used in the packaging area for the inspection of suppositories and implants. It covers the validation of the system’s critical parameters and compliance with the User Requirement Specification (URS) Annex 11.

Responsibilities

The following personnel are responsible for the execution and approval of this protocol:

• Validation Team: Execute the DQ protocol and document results.
• Quality Assurance: Review and approve the protocol.
• Engineering: Ensure the system is installed and operational prior to testing.

Prerequisites

• Completed Installation Qualification (IQ) for the Vision Inspection System.
• Availability of relevant standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Training of personnel on the operation of the Vision Inspection System.

Equipment Description

The Vision Inspection System is designed to detect defects and ensure packaging integrity for suppositories and implants. It utilizes advanced imaging technology to perform inspections with high detection accuracy.

Test Plan

Test ID	Procedure	Acceptance	Evidence
DQ-001	Verify system installation and configuration	All components installed as per specifications	Installation report
DQ-002	Evaluate detection accuracy	Detection accuracy ≥ 99%	Test results report
DQ-003	Review reject logic functionality	Reject logic performs as designed	Functionality test log
DQ-004	Audit trail verification	Audit trail is complete and accessible	Audit trail report
