Operational Qualification Protocol for CIP Skid in IV Infusions
Document Control:
Document Number: OQ-CIP-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Review Date: [Insert Date]
Objective
The objective of this Operational Qualification (OQ) protocol is to validate the CIP Skid for automated cleaning of tanks and lines used in the production of IV Infusions (LVP/SVP – Bags/Bottles).
Scope
This protocol applies to the CIP Skid utilized in the production area for cleaning processes directly impacting the quality of IV Infusions.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing the OQ protocol. The Quality Assurance (QA) team will review and approve the protocol and results.
Prerequisites
All relevant documentation must be available, including User Requirement Specifications (URS), installation qualification (IQ) records, and maintenance logs.
Equipment Description
The CIP Skid is a sterile system designed for the automated cleaning of tanks and lines used in the production of IV Infusions. It includes features for flow, temperature control, conductivity measurement, and cycle time management.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| OQ-01 | Verify flow rate | Within specified range | Flow rate log |
| OQ-02 | Verify temperature | Within specified range | Temperature log |
| OQ-03 | Verify conductivity | Within specified range | Conductivity log |
| OQ-04 | Verify cycle time | Within specified limits | Cycle time log |
| OQ-05 | Check audit trail | No discrepancies | Audit trail report |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case OQ-01: Verify Flow Rate
Procedure: Measure the flow rate using calibrated flow meter. Compare results against the specified range.
Acceptance: Flow rate must be within the specified range.
Test Case OQ-02: Verify Temperature
Procedure: Monitor the temperature during cleaning cycles. Ensure it meets the specified criteria.
Acceptance: Temperature must be within the specified range.
Test Case OQ-03: Verify Conductivity
Procedure: Conductivity readings must be taken before and after cleaning cycles.
Acceptance: Conductivity must be within the specified range.
Test Case OQ-04: Verify Cycle Time
Procedure: Record the time taken for each cleaning cycle and compare with acceptance criteria.
Acceptance: Cycle time must be within specified limits.
Test Case OQ-05: Check Audit Trail
Procedure: Review the audit trail for any discrepancies during the operation of the CIP Skid.
Acceptance: No discrepancies should be present in the audit trail.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and justified. A corrective action plan should be developed and implemented.

Data Integrity Checks
1. Ensure all data logs are timestamped and linked to operator ID.
2. Conduct periodic reviews of data logs to confirm accuracy and completeness.
3. Implement access controls to limit data modification to authorized personnel only.
