Document Control:
Document Number: IQ-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Review Date: [Insert Date]
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Capping Machine (ROPP/Screw) is installed correctly and operates as intended in the production area for capping IV infusion bottles.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Installation Qualification of the Capping Machine utilized for capping Large Volume Parenteral (LVP) and Small Volume Parenteral (SVP) bags and bottles in the production area.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing the Installation Qualification protocol, documenting results, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
The Production Team is responsible for providing access to the equipment and relevant documentation.
Prerequisites
1. Equipment must be installed according to manufacturer’s specifications.
2. All utilities (electrical, air, etc.) must be connected and operational.
3. Relevant training for personnel must be completed.
Equipment Description
The Capping Machine (ROPP/Screw) is designed to cap IV infusion bottles with a torque range that meets specified requirements. It includes reject logic and an audit trail feature to ensure data integrity and compliance.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation according to manufacturer’s specifications. | All components installed as per specifications. | Installation checklist signed and dated. |
| IQ-02 | Check electrical connections and functionality. | Machine powers on and operates without errors. | Operational log and power check report. |
| IQ-03 | Validate torque range and reject logic. | Torque range meets specifications; reject logic functions correctly. | Torque measurement records and reject logic test results. |
| IQ-04 | Audit trail verification. | Audit trail logs all operations accurately. | Audit trail report. |
