Tags: Equipment Validation, Design Qualification, NDDS, Inhaled NDDS Powders, Spray Dryer

Objective

The objective of this Design Qualification Protocol is to ensure that the Spray Dryer used for producing engineered inhalation particles meets the specified requirements and is suitable for its intended use.

Scope

This protocol applies to the Spray Dryer utilized in the R&D and Production areas for the manufacture of inhaled NDDS powders.

Responsibilities

• Validation Team: Responsible for executing the DQ protocol and documenting results.
• Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the protocol and results.
• Engineering: Responsible for maintaining the equipment and ensuring it meets operational specifications.

Prerequisites

• Installation Qualification (IQ) must be completed.
• Operating procedures must be available and reviewed.
• Personnel must be trained on equipment operation and safety protocols.

Equipment Description

The Spray Dryer is designed to produce engineered inhalation particles through a controlled drying process. Key specifications include:

• Inlet Temperature: [Specify Range]
• Outlet Temperature: [Specify Range]
• Atomization Airflow: [Specify Rate]
• Solvent Handling: [Specify Method]

Test Plan

Detailed Test Cases

Test Case 1: Verify Inlet/Outlet Temperatures

Procedure: Measure the inlet and outlet temperatures during operation. Record the values.

Acceptance Criteria: Inlet temperature must be within [Specify Range]; Outlet temperature must be within [Specify Range].

Evidence: Temperature logs must be provided and reviewed.

Test Case 2: Check Atomization Airflow

Procedure: Measure the airflow during operation using calibrated equipment.

Acceptance Criteria: Airflow must meet specified rates as outlined in the URS.

Evidence: Airflow measurement records must be documented.

Test Case 3: Audit Solvent Handling Process

Procedure: Review the solvent handling process and ensure compliance with established SOPs.

Acceptance Criteria: All steps must be followed as per the SOP; any deviations must be documented.

Evidence: Audit trail documentation must be maintained.

Deviations

Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and assessed for impact on product quality. A corrective action plan must be developed and implemented if necessary.
