Objective

The objective of this Design Qualification Protocol is to ensure that the Safety Device Assembly Machine meets the specified requirements for the assembly of safety devices on prefilled syringes and cartridges, ensuring compliance with URS Annex11 standards.

Scope

This protocol applies to the Safety Device Assembly Machine utilized in the production area for the assembly of safety devices on prefilled syringes and cartridges. It encompasses all activities related to the qualification of the equipment.

Responsibilities

Validation Team: Responsible for executing the DQ protocol and documenting results.

Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the DQ protocol and results.

Production Team: Responsible for providing operational input and support during the qualification process.

Prerequisites

All necessary documentation, including User Requirements Specifications (URS), should be reviewed and approved prior to executing this protocol.

Equipment Description

The Safety Device Assembly Machine is designed for the automated assembly of safety devices onto prefilled syringes and cartridges. The machine features an integrated control system that logs assembly accuracy and audit trail information.

Test Plan

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Criteria Evidence
DQ-01 Verify assembly accuracy audit trail logs Logs must show 100% accuracy for 10 consecutive assemblies Audit trail records
DQ-02 Check compliance with URS Annex11 All requirements in URS must be met URS compliance checklist

Detailed Test Cases

Test Case DQ-01: Review the audit trail logs from the Safety Device Assembly Machine after conducting 10 assembly operations. Confirm that each log entry reflects accurate assembly data.

Test Case DQ-02: Conduct a thorough review of the URS Annex11 to ensure all specifications are fulfilled by the equipment. Document any deviations and corrective actions.

Deviations

Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented, and a root cause analysis should be conducted. Corrective actions must be implemented and verified.

Approvals

All results and documentation must be reviewed and approved by the Quality Assurance team prior to final acceptance of the Design Qualification Protocol.

Data Integrity Checks

Practical data integrity checks include:

  • Regular backups of audit trail logs.
  • Access controls to prevent unauthorized modifications.
  • Periodic reviews of log entries for discrepancies.
