Performance Qualification Protocol for Glass-Lined Reactor in API Manufacturing
Document Control Number: PQ-GLR-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Review Date: [Insert Date]
Objective
The objective of this Performance Qualification (PQ) protocol is to validate the Glass-Lined Reactor (GLR) for use in API manufacturing through chemical synthesis reactions, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and operational standards.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Glass-Lined Reactor utilized in the production area for chemical synthesis. It covers all critical parameters impacting product quality and safety.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Overall execution and documentation of the PQ process.
- Production Team: Operation of the GLR as per validated procedures.
- Quality Assurance: Review and approval of validation documentation.
Prerequisites
- Completion of Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ).
- Availability of qualified personnel for executing the PQ protocol.
- Approval of User Requirement Specification (URS) and relevant documents.
Equipment Description
The Glass-Lined Reactor (GLR) is designed for chemical synthesis reactions, equipped with temperature, pressure, and agitation controls. It features PLC logging capabilities for data integrity and monitoring.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| PQ-01 | Verify temperature control accuracy. | ±2°C of set point. | Temperature logs. |
| PQ-02 | Verify pressure control accuracy. | ±5% of set point. | Pressure logs. |
| PQ-03 | Verify agitation speed consistency. | ±10 RPM of set point. | Agitation logs. |
| PQ-04 | Review PLC logs for data integrity. | No discrepancies found. | PLC log report. |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case: PQ-01
Procedure: Set the GLR to a specified temperature and monitor for stability. Record the temperature at intervals of 5 minutes for 30 minutes.
Acceptance: Temperature must remain within ±2°C of the set point.
Test Case: PQ-02
Procedure: Set the GLR to a specified pressure and monitor for stability. Record the pressure at intervals of 5 minutes for 30 minutes.
Acceptance: Pressure must remain within ±5% of the set point.
Test Case: PQ-03
Procedure: Set the GLR to a specified RPM and monitor for consistency. Record the RPM at intervals of 5 minutes for 30 minutes.
Acceptance: RPM must remain within ±10 RPM of the set point.
Test Case: PQ-04
Procedure: Review PLC logs for any discrepancies during the operation of the GLR.
Acceptance: No discrepancies found in the logs.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A deviation report should be generated, detailing the nature of the deviation, root cause analysis, and corrective actions taken.
