  • Equipment Name/Type: Bottle Top Dispenser 0.5-5 mL
  • Department/Area: QC, Chemistry Lab
  • Process Use: Reagent dispensing
  • Parameter: Volume
  • Range: 0.5 – 5 mL
  • Units: mL
  • Calibration Frequency: 365 days

3. Definitions

  • Calibration: The process of comparing a measurement device to a known standard to ensure accuracy.
  • Verification: The process of confirming that a measurement device meets specified requirements.
  • Adjustment: The act of modifying a measurement device to bring it into compliance with standards.
  • As Found: The condition of the equipment prior to any adjustments.
  • As Left: The condition of the equipment after adjustments have been made.
  • OOT (Out of Tolerance): A condition where the measurement falls outside the defined acceptance criteria.
  • Drift: The gradual change in a measurement device’s output 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 asserted to lie.
  • Intermediate Check: A periodic check of a measurement device to ensure it remains within specified limits.

4. References

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

5. Responsibilities

  • Technician/Metrology: Perform calibration and documentation.
  • QC/QA Reviewer: Review calibration records and ensure compliance.
  • 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).

7. Standards & Tools

  • Reference Standards Required: [TBD]
  • Traceability Statement: ISO17025
  • Certificate Validity Check: Ensure all calibration 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 within the range of 0.5 – 5 mL. Each point will have three replicate readings to ensure accuracy and reliability.

9. Step-by-Step Procedure

  1. Preparation: Gather all necessary tools and reference standards.
  2. Stabilization: Allow the Bottle Top Dispenser to stabilize in the operating environment.
  3. As Found Checks and Data Capture: Measure and record the volume dispensed at each calibration point.
  4. Adjustment Rules: If any measurement is OOT, escalate for adjustment as per SOP.
  5. As Left Verification: Re-measure to confirm adjustments are within specifications.
  6. Labeling + Documentation Completion: Complete all required documentation and label the equipment accordingly.

Record all raw observations contemporaneously to ensure data integrity (ALCOA+).

10. Acceptance Criteria & Calculations

Acceptance criteria for the calibration of the Bottle Top Dispenser is ±1%. The error calculation formula is:

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

Pass/Fail Logic: If the calculated error falls within the acceptance criteria, the calibration passes; otherwise, it fails.

Rounding Rule: [TBD]

11. Handling OOT / Failures

  • Immediate containment: Tag equipment and stop use.
  • Notification & deviation initiation: Notify relevant personnel of the OOT condition.
  • Impact assessment trigger: Define impact window and review of 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 in accordance with company policy.
  • e-Records if applicable: [TBD]
  • Label content requirements: Include calibrated date, due date, by whom, and status.
