Calibration SOP

1. Purpose

The calibration of the Dissolved Oxygen Sensor (Bioreactor) is performed to ensure accurate measurement of dissolved oxygen levels, which is critical for maintaining optimal conditions in bioprocessing. This calibration controls risks associated with inaccurate readings that could compromise patient safety, batch quality, and data integrity.

2. Scope

  • Asset ID: CAL-0098
  • Equipment Name/Type: Dissolved Oxygen Sensor (DO Sensor)
  • Department/Area: Biologics/Bioreactor
  • Process Use: DO control
  • Parameter: Dissolved Oxygen
  • Range: 0 – 200 %DO
  • Units: %DO
  • Calibration Frequency: 180 days

3. Definitions

  • Calibration: The process of comparing a measurement instrument against a known standard to determine its accuracy.
  • Verification: The process of confirming that a measurement instrument is functioning correctly.
  • Adjustment: The act of correcting a measurement instrument to ensure it meets specified standards.
  • As Found: The condition of the instrument prior to any adjustments.
  • As Left: The condition of the instrument after adjustments have been made.
  • OOT (Out of Tolerance): A condition where the measurement falls outside the specified acceptance criteria.
  • Drift: The gradual change in the output of a measurement instrument over time.
  • Traceability: The ability to verify the history, location, or application of an item by means of documented recorded identification.
  • Measurement Uncertainty: A parameter that characterizes the range of values within which the true value is expected to lie.
  • Intermediate Check: A periodic check performed to ensure the instrument remains within specified limits between calibrations.

4. References

  • Company Metrology SOP [TBD]
  • ISO/IEC 17025 traceability via calibration certificates
  • ALCOA+ principles

5. Responsibilities

  • Technician/Metrology: Perform calibration and document results.
  • QC/QA Reviewer: Review calibration documentation and results.
  • Owner Department: Ensure equipment is available and maintained.
  • External Service Provider: Conduct external calibration as required.

6. Safety & Preconditions

  • Ensure environmental controls are in place (temperature, humidity).
  • Allow for warm-up/stabilization of the sensor as per manufacturer guidelines.
  • Maintain cleanliness of the equipment and surrounding area.
  • Check leveling of the equipment.
  • Verify power supply is stable and within specifications.

7. Standards & Tools

  • Reference standards required: [TBD]
  • Traceability statement: ISO17025
  • Certificate validity check: Ensure all certificates are current and valid.
  • Standard ID placeholders: [TBD]

8. Calibration Strategy

Calibration will follow the As Found then As Left logic. The minimum number of calibration points will be five, including endpoints and midpoints. Each point will have three replicate readings to ensure accuracy.

9. Step-by-Step Procedure

  1. Preparation: Gather all necessary tools and standards.
  2. Stabilization: Allow the sensor to stabilize as per manufacturer instructions.
  3. As Found checks and data capture: Record initial readings before any adjustments.
  4. Adjustment rules: If OOT is found, adjustments may be made if permitted; otherwise, escalate to QA.
  5. As Left verification: Confirm that the sensor is within tolerance after adjustments.
  6. Labeling + documentation completion: Ensure all records are filled out accurately and contemporaneously (ALCOA+).

10. Acceptance Criteria & Calculations

Acceptance criteria: ±2% from the true value. The error calculation formula is:

Error (%) = (Observed Value – True Value) / True Value * 100

Pass/Fail logic: If the error is within ±2%, the calibration passes; otherwise, it fails.

Rounding rule: [TBD]

11. Handling OOT / Failures

  • Immediate containment: Tag equipment and stop use.
  • Notification & deviation initiation: Notify QA and initiate deviation process.
  • Impact assessment trigger: Define impact window and review affected results/batches.
  • Recalibration after repair/adjustment: Ensure recalibration is performed post-adjustment.
  • QA disposition placeholders: [TBD]

12. Records & Retention

  • Logbook entries: Document all calibration activities.
  • Calibration report/certificate filing: Maintain records as per company policy.
  • e-Records if applicable: [TBD]
  • Label content requirements: Include calibrated date, due date, technician name, and status.
