Objective:

This protocol outlines the Operational Qualification (OQ) for the Contained Transfer Port (RTP-like) system to ensure it meets the specified performance criteria and operational requirements.

Scope:

This OQ protocol applies to the Contained Transfer Port used in the production and containment of solid dosage forms, impacting product quality directly.

Responsibilities:

  • Validation Team: Develop and execute the OQ protocol.
  • Quality Assurance: Review and approve the protocol and results.
  • Production Team: Provide access and support during testing.

Prerequisites:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) must be completed and approved.
  • All personnel involved must be trained on the equipment and procedures.

Equipment Description:

The Contained Transfer Port is a closed transfer interface designed to maintain seal integrity during the transfer of materials in the production of solid dosage forms. It features docking interlocks to ensure safety and compliance.

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Criteria Evidence
OQ-01 Verify seal integrity during docking. No leaks detected. Leak test report.
OQ-02 Check docking interlocks functionality. All interlocks functional. Interlock test report.

Detailed Test Cases:

Test Case OQ-01: Verify Seal Integrity During Docking

Objective: Ensure that the seal remains intact during the docking process.

Procedure: Perform a leak test by applying pressure to the system during docking.

Acceptance Criteria: No leaks detected.

Evidence: Documented leak test results.

Test Case OQ-02: Check Docking Interlocks Functionality

Objective: Confirm that all interlocks engage and disengage as designed.

Procedure: Test each interlock by attempting to engage the dock without proper alignment.

Acceptance Criteria: All interlocks functional; system should not allow docking.

Evidence: Documented interlock test results.

Deviations:

Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A root cause analysis should be conducted, and corrective actions should be implemented.
