Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the CIP System used for clean compounding of transdermal patches is installed correctly and operates according to the specified requirements.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Installation Qualification of the CIP System located in the Production area for the manufacturing of transdermal patches. It encompasses all critical parameters impacting product quality.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing the IQ protocol, while the Quality Assurance Team is responsible for reviewing and approving the protocol and its results.
Prerequisites
- Completion of equipment installation.
- Availability of manufacturer’s documentation.
- Completion of necessary training for personnel involved in the validation process.
Equipment Description
The CIP System is designed for the cleaning of compounding equipment used in the production of transdermal patches. It operates on a closed-loop system ensuring minimal contamination risk.
Test Plan
