Document ID: IQ-VHP-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: YYYY-MM-DD
Reviewed by: [Name]
Approved by: [Name]
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the VHP Generator / Decontamination Unit is installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and is suitable for use in the production area for decontaminating isolators and RABS.
Scope
This protocol applies to the VHP Generator / Decontamination Unit used in the production area for the decontamination of isolators and Restricted Access Barrier Systems (RABS) in the manufacturing of Liposomes and Lipid Nanoparticles.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for executing the IQ protocol and documenting results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the IQ protocol and results.
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for ensuring the equipment is maintained and operational prior to IQ execution.
Prerequisites
- Completion of equipment installation by qualified personnel.
- Availability of manufacturer’s installation and operation manuals.
- Completion of any required training for personnel involved in the IQ process.
Equipment Description
The VHP Generator / Decontamination Unit is designed to generate vaporized hydrogen peroxide for the decontamination of isolators and RABS. It operates under controlled conditions to ensure effective decontamination.
