Objective

The objective of this Design Qualification (DQ) protocol is to ensure that the Contained Transfer Port (RTP-like) is designed and installed to meet the specified requirements for use in the production and containment of solid dosage forms.

Scope

This protocol applies to the Design Qualification of the Contained Transfer Port used in the production area for the closed transfer interface of solid dosage forms. It encompasses all activities related to the validation of the equipment’s design and its critical parameters.

Responsibilities

  • Validation Team: Prepare and execute the DQ protocol.
  • Quality Assurance: Review and approve the DQ protocol and results.
  • Engineering: Ensure all equipment specifications are met.

Prerequisites

  • Approval of User Requirements Specification (URS).
  • Completion of the equipment installation.
  • Availability of all necessary documentation (design drawings, specifications).

Equipment Description

The Contained Transfer Port (RTP-like) is designed to provide a closed transfer interface for the safe transfer of materials in the production of solid dosage forms. It features docking interlocks to ensure seal integrity during operation.

Test Plan

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Criteria Evidence
DQ-001 Verify seal integrity of docking interlocks. Seal integrity maintained without leaks. Test report, photographs.
DQ-002 Check functionality of interlocks during operation. Interlocks engage and disengage as designed. Functional test report.

Detailed Test Cases

Test Case DQ-001: Seal Integrity of Docking Interlocks

Procedure: Conduct a pressure test to assess seal integrity.

Acceptance Criteria: No leaks detected during the test.

Evidence: Documented results of pressure test and any observations.

Test Case DQ-002: Functionality of Interlocks

Procedure: Operate the equipment to verify interlock functionality.

Acceptance Criteria: Interlocks function without failure.

Evidence: Operational log and signed off by validation team.

Deviations

Any deviations from the established acceptance criteria must be documented and assessed for impact on the validation of the equipment. A deviation report should be generated and approved by the Quality Assurance team.
