Document Number: IQ-OSD-PP-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Prepared by: [Insert Name]
Approved by: [Insert Name]
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Peristaltic Pump is installed correctly and operates within specified parameters to ensure its suitability for controlled binder dosing in the production of solid dosage forms.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Installation Qualification of the Peristaltic Pump utilized in the Production/Granulation area for direct impact on product quality.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for the execution and documentation of the IQ protocol.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the IQ documentation.
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for ensuring the equipment is installed and maintained according to manufacturer specifications.
Prerequisites
- Installation of the Peristaltic Pump must be completed prior to executing this protocol.
- All personnel involved in the execution of this protocol must be trained on the equipment and procedures.
Equipment Description
The Peristaltic Pump is designed for controlled binder dosing in the granulation process of solid dosage forms. It provides precise flow control and is capable of maintaining consistent dosing accuracy and repeatability.
