Equipment Description: The Jacketed Stainless Steel Implant Mixing Vessel is designed for the preparation of implant formulations. It features temperature control, adjustable mixing speed, and a PLC for data logging and audit trails.
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| PQ-001 | Verify temperature control functionality | Temperature maintained within specified range | Temperature logs |
| PQ-002 | Verify mixing speed settings | Speed settings match specifications | Mixing speed logs |
| PQ-003 | Verify hold time during mixing | Hold time within specified limits | Mixing logs |
| PQ-004 | Verify PLC audit trail functionality | Audit trail logs are complete and accurate | PLC audit logs |
Detailed Test Cases:
- Test Case PQ-001: Confirm that the temperature can be set and maintained within the specified range during operation.
- Test Case PQ-002: Validate that the mixing speed can be adjusted and recorded accurately by the system.
- Test Case PQ-003: Ensure that the mixing process adheres to the specified hold time to ensure product quality.
- Test Case PQ-004: Check that the PLC captures all relevant data points and maintains an accurate audit trail.
Deviations: Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. Corrective actions should be proposed and implemented as necessary.
