Purpose

This SOP defines the process for validating the Vision System utilized in the packaging and inspection of Nasal and Otic products to ensure accurate verification of printed data.

Scope

This procedure applies to the Vision System used in the packaging and inspection areas for both sterile and non-sterile Nasal and Otic products.

Definitions

• Vision System: A system designed to verify printed data on packaging materials.
• Criticality: The importance of the equipment in ensuring product quality.
• CSV: Computer System Validation.

Roles

• Validation Team: Responsible for executing and documenting validation activities.
• Quality Assurance: Oversees compliance with regulatory requirements and internal standards.
• Operations: Operates the Vision System and ensures adherence to SOPs.

Lifecycle Procedure

1. Design Qualification (DQ): Verify that the Vision System meets user requirements.
2. Installation Qualification (IQ): Confirm that the system is installed according to specifications.
3. Operational Qualification (OQ): Test the system under normal operating conditions.
4. Performance Qualification (PQ): Validate system performance with actual product.

GDP Controls

Good Documentation Practices must be followed throughout the validation process, including clear, concise, and accurate records of all activities.

Acceptance Criteria Governance

Acceptance criteria shall be defined based on User Requirements Specification (URS) Annex 11. All criteria must be met for successful validation.

Calibration/PM Governance

The Vision System must undergo regular calibration and preventive maintenance as per the manufacturer’s recommendations and internal policies.

Change Control Triggers

Any changes to the Vision System, including software updates or hardware modifications, require a formal change control process.

Revalidation Triggers and Periodic Review

Revalidation is required annually or whenever significant changes occur that may affect the system’s performance.
