Design Qualification Protocol for Liquid Manufacturing Vessel

Objective: This protocol outlines the design qualification for the Liquid Manufacturing Vessel (SS Jacketed Tank) used in the production of non-sterile liquids, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and operational efficiency.

Scope: This protocol applies to the validation of the Liquid Manufacturing Vessel utilized in the compounding of syrups, liquids, and suspensions in the production/manufacturing area.

Responsibilities:

  • Validation Team: Responsible for executing the DQ protocol and documenting results.
  • Quality Assurance: Review and approve the DQ protocol and final report.
  • Production Team: Provide operational insights and support during testing.

Prerequisites:

  • Completion of User Requirement Specification (URS).
  • Installation Qualification (IQ) of the Liquid Manufacturing Vessel.
  • Availability of all necessary equipment and materials for testing.

Equipment Description: The Liquid Manufacturing Vessel is a stainless steel jacketed tank designed for the compounding of non-sterile liquids. It features controlled agitation, temperature regulation, and a PLC for monitoring and logging critical parameters.

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Criteria Evidence
T1 Verify Agitation Speed Agitation speed within specified range PLC log report
T2 Verify Temperature Control Temperature maintained within limits Temperature log report
T3 Verify Hold Time Hold time meets specifications Batch record

Detailed Test Cases:

  • Test Case T1: Measure the agitation speed using the PLC interface. Document the results in the log report. Acceptance criteria: Speed must be within the defined operational range.
  • Test Case T2: Monitor the temperature during operation. Ensure the temperature remains within specified limits for the entire duration. Document findings in the temperature log report.
  • Test Case T3: Confirm the hold time by reviewing batch records. Ensure compliance with the specified hold time for each batch.

Data Integrity Checks:

  • Regular review of PLC logs to ensure no unauthorized changes.
  • Backup of all data logs at the end of each production run.
  • Audit trails enabled for all critical parameter logging.

Deviations: Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A deviation report should be generated to outline the issue and corrective actions taken.
