Objective
The objective of this Performance Qualification (PQ) protocol is to verify that the In-vitro Release Testing System operates consistently and reliably to meet defined acceptance criteria for release profile testing.
Scope
This protocol applies to the In-vitro Release Testing System used in the QC/R&D areas for the testing of NDDS products. It encompasses the critical parameters, data integrity checks, and acceptance criteria as per URS Annex 11 and Annex 15.
Responsibilities
All personnel involved in the execution of this protocol must adhere to the outlined responsibilities:
- Validation Team: Responsible for protocol execution and data analysis.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for oversight and approval of the protocol.
- Equipment Operators: Responsible for the operation of the In-vitro Release Testing System.
Prerequisites
Before executing this protocol, the following prerequisites must be met:
- Installation Qualification (IQ) must be completed.
- Operational Qualification (OQ) must be completed.
- Training on equipment operation must be provided to all operators.
Equipment Description
The In-vitro Release Testing System is designed for release profile testing of NDDS products. It incorporates dialysis, flow-through, and USP apparatus as applicable, ensuring accurate and reproducible testing conditions.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| PQ-01 | Temperature Verification | ± 1°C of setpoint | Temperature log |
| PQ-02 | Agitation Speed Check | ± 10% of set speed | Calibration report |
| PQ-03 | Flow Rate Validation | ± 5% of target flow rate | Flow rate measurement |
| PQ-04 | Sampling Integrity Assessment | No contamination or loss | Sampling records |
| PQ-05 | Data Capture Accuracy Check | 100% data integrity | Data review logs |
Detailed Test Cases
Each test case will be executed according to the following detailed procedures:
PQ-01: Temperature Verification
Measure the temperature at the specified location in the system. Record the values and verify against the acceptance criteria.
PQ-02: Agitation Speed Check
Use a calibrated device to measure the agitation speed and compare it with the set speed.
PQ-03: Flow Rate Validation
Measure the flow rate using a calibrated flow meter and ensure it meets the acceptance criteria.
PQ-04: Sampling Integrity Assessment
Perform sampling during the test and assess for contamination or loss by analyzing the samples.
PQ-05: Data Capture Accuracy Check
Review the data captured during the tests to ensure 100% accuracy and completeness.
Deviations
Any deviations from the protocol must be documented and justified. A deviation report must be submitted for approval.
Approvals
All test results must be reviewed and approved by the Quality Assurance department before the final report is issued.
