Operational Qualification Protocol for Dust Collector / Bag Filter System

Objective: To validate the operational performance of the Dust Collector / Bag Filter system in the production area for effective dust collection from product streams.

Scope: This protocol applies to the Dust Collector / Bag Filter system used in the Solid Dosage Form production area, impacting product quality directly.

Responsibilities:

  • Validation Team: Preparation and execution of the OQ protocol.
  • Quality Assurance: Review and approval of the protocol and results.
  • Production: Provide access to the equipment and assist in the execution of tests.

Prerequisites:

  • Completion of Installation Qualification (IQ).
  • Equipment operational and maintenance manuals available.
  • Personnel trained on the operation of the Dust Collector / Bag Filter.

Equipment Description:

The Dust Collector / Bag Filter system is designed for the collection of dust generated during the production of solid dosage forms. It utilizes a pulse cleaning mechanism to maintain optimal performance and minimize contamination risks.

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Criteria Evidence
OQ-DC-001 Verify DP pulse cleaning containment functionality. Containment levels must not exceed URS specifications. Test report showing containment levels.
OQ-DC-002 Check operational parameters during production. All parameters must be within specified limits. Operational log and parameter readings.

Detailed Test Cases:

  1. Test ID: OQ-DC-001
    • Objective: To ensure that the pulse cleaning mechanism operates effectively.
    • Procedure: Activate the pulse cleaning system and measure containment levels using appropriate instrumentation.
    • Expected Result: Containment levels must be below the limits defined in the URS.
  2. Test ID: OQ-DC-002
    • Objective: To verify that the Dust Collector operates within specified parameters during production.
    • Procedure: Monitor and record operational parameters during a production run.
    • Expected Result: All parameters must remain within the defined limits.
