Document Control:
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 VHP Decontamination Unit is installed correctly and operates as intended for the decontamination of barrier/room in the production of sterile ophthalmic products.
Scope
This protocol applies to the VHP Decontamination Unit utilized in the production area for the decontamination of the barrier/room directly impacting the production of sterile eye drops and eye ointments.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for executing the IQ protocol and documenting results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the IQ protocol and results.
- Engineering: Responsible for the installation and maintenance of the VHP Decontamination Unit.
Prerequisites
- Completion of the equipment installation.
- Training of personnel on the operation of the VHP Decontamination Unit.
- Availability of necessary documentation including User Requirement Specification (URS), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and manufacturer’s specifications.
Equipment Description
The VHP Decontamination Unit is designed to perform decontamination using vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) to ensure a sterile environment for the production of ophthalmic products. The unit is equipped with features to monitor concentration, dwell time, and aeration, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance | Evidence |
