Operational Qualification Protocol for Crimping Machine in Nasal and Otic Product Production
Objective: To validate the operational performance of the Crimping Machine used for fixing spray pumps to bottles, ensuring compliance with relevant standards and specifications.
Scope: This protocol applies to the Crimping Machine used in the production of nasal and otic products, both sterile and non-sterile, within the production area.
Responsibilities:
- Validation Team: Execute the OQ protocol and document results.
- Quality Assurance: Review and approve the OQ protocol and results.
- Production Staff: Operate the equipment as per the validated procedures.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of Installation Qualification (IQ).
- Training of personnel on equipment operation.
- Availability of necessary materials and equipment.
Equipment Description:
The Crimping Machine is designed to securely attach spray pumps to bottles for nasal and otic products. It operates by applying a specific crimp force to ensure proper sealing and integrity of the product.
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| OQ-001 | Verify crimp force settings using calibrated gauge. | Crimp force must be within specified range as per URS Annex11. | Calibration log and test report. |
| OQ-002 | Check torque audit trail logs. | Logs must show consistent and accurate data for 10 consecutive cycles. | Audit trail report. |
Detailed Test Cases:
- Test Case OQ-001:
- Objective: To ensure the crimp force is set correctly.
- Procedure: Use a calibrated gauge to measure crimp force during operation.
- Expected Result: Crimp force falls within the specified range.
- Test Case OQ-002:
- Objective: To verify the integrity of torque audit trail logs.
- Procedure: Review the torque audit trail for 10 consecutive cycles.
- Expected Result: Logs display consistent and accurate data.
Deviations: Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A formal deviation report should be generated for any non-conformance.
