Equipment Description:

The Nitrogen Purging System is designed to provide a controlled inert atmosphere for the production of prefilled syringes and cartridges, ensuring the integrity and quality of the product.

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Evidence
OQ-01 Verify nitrogen purity levels Nitrogen purity ≥ 99.5% Purity test logs
OQ-02 Check flow rates Flow rate within specified range Flow audit trail logs
OQ-03 Review audit trail logs Complete and accurate logs Audit trail report

Detailed Test Cases:

  • Test Case OQ-01: Measure the nitrogen purity using a gas chromatograph. Ensure that the purity level meets or exceeds 99.5%.
  • Test Case OQ-02: Measure the flow rate of nitrogen through the system using a calibrated flow meter. Confirm that the flow rate is within the specified operational range.
  • Test Case OQ-03: Review the audit trail logs for completeness and accuracy, ensuring all entries are timestamped and traceable.
