Tags: Equipment Validation, Installation Qualification, Ophthalmics, Coding/Printing Machine, Validation Protocol
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Coding/Printing Machine is installed correctly and operates according to the specified requirements for the production of sterile eye drops and ointments.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Coding/Printing Machine used in the packaging area for printing batch and expiry information on sterile eye drops and ointments. It encompasses all activities related to the installation and qualification of the equipment.
Responsibilities
The following personnel are responsible for the execution of this protocol:
- Validation Team: Responsible for conducting the IQ activities and documenting the results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the IQ protocol and results.
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for ensuring the equipment is installed and maintained according to specifications.
Prerequisites
- Completion of Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT).
- Installation of the equipment in the designated area.
- Availability of operational manuals and maintenance guides.
- Training of personnel on the operation of the equipment.
Equipment Description
The Coding/Printing Machine is designed for printing batch and expiry dates on the packaging of sterile eye drops and ointments. It operates in a controlled environment to ensure the integrity of the product. The key critical parameter is the print quality verification audit trail.
Test Plan
