Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to ensure that the Implant Coating Machine is installed correctly and operates as intended in compliance with applicable regulations and standards.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Installation Qualification of the Implant Coating Machine used in the production area for drug coating applications impacting the product directly.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing the IQ protocol, documenting results, and ensuring compliance with the acceptance criteria. The Quality Assurance team will review and approve the protocol and results.
Prerequisites
1. Installation of the Implant Coating Machine must be completed prior to executing this protocol.
2. All necessary utilities (electricity, water, air) must be available and operational.
3. Personnel must be trained in the operation of the equipment.
Equipment Description
The Implant Coating Machine is designed to apply drug coatings to implants. It features adjustable parameters for coating thickness and speed, and maintains an audit trail for compliance and traceability.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation of equipment components. | All components must be installed as per manufacturer specifications. | Installation checklist signed off by technician. |
| IQ-02 | Check utility connections (electricity, water, air). | All utilities must be connected and operational. | Utility connection verification report. |
| IQ-03 | Perform coating thickness measurement. | Coating thickness must be within specified limits. | Thickness measurement logs. |
| IQ-04 | Validate speed of application. | Speed must meet the specified operational parameters. | Speed audit trail logs. |
