Document Control:
Document Number: PQ-HVAC-001
Revision: 1.0
Date: [Insert Date]
Prepared By: [Insert Name]
Approved By: [Insert Name]
Objective
The objective of this Performance Qualification (PQ) protocol is to validate the HVAC System used in the production of suppositories and implants to ensure it maintains the specified temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions necessary for product quality and compliance.
Scope
This protocol applies to the HVAC System utilized in the production area for the manufacturing of suppositories and implants. It covers the validation of critical parameters that impact product quality indirectly.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and documenting results. The Quality Assurance (QA) team will review and approve the results.
Prerequisites
- Completion of Installation Qualification (IQ) for the HVAC System.
- All necessary equipment and materials must be available for testing.
- Personnel must be trained in validation protocols and procedures.
Equipment Description
The HVAC System is designed to control the temperature, humidity, and pressure within the production area for suppositories and implants. It is classified as a utility equipment type with indirect criticality impacting product quality.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP-001 | Temperature Mapping | Temperature maintained within specified limits | Temperature audit trail logs |
| TP-002 | Humidity Mapping | Humidity maintained within specified limits | Humidity audit trail logs |
| TP-003 | Pressure Verification | Pressure maintained within specified limits | Pressure audit trail logs |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case 1: Temperature Mapping
Procedure: Conduct temperature mapping by placing data loggers at critical locations within the production area. Monitor and record temperature over a defined period.
Acceptance Criteria: Temperature must remain within the specified range of [Insert Range] throughout the test duration.
Evidence: Review temperature audit trail logs and data logger reports.
Test Case 2: Humidity Mapping
Procedure: Conduct humidity mapping using calibrated hygrometers placed at strategic points in the production area. Monitor and document humidity levels over a specified timeframe.
Acceptance Criteria: Humidity must remain within the specified range of [Insert Range] during the testing period.
Evidence: Review humidity audit trail logs and hygrometer readings.
Test Case 3: Pressure Verification
Procedure: Verify the pressure settings of the HVAC system using calibrated pressure gauges. Record pressure levels at various points.
Acceptance Criteria: Pressure must remain within the specified range of [Insert Range] throughout the test.
Evidence: Review pressure audit trail logs and gauge readings.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented, investigated, and resolved prior to final approval of the PQ results. A formal deviation report must be submitted to QA for review.
