Meta Description: This document outlines the Design Qualification Protocol for the LVP/SVP Compounding Vessel used in the production area to prepare bulk infusion solutions.

Tags: Equipment Validation, Design Qualification, Pharmaceutical Equipment

Objective

The objective of this Design Qualification (DQ) protocol is to ensure that the LVP/SVP Compounding Vessel (Jacketed SS) is designed and installed in accordance with the User Requirements Specification (URS) and relevant regulatory guidelines.

Scope

This protocol applies to the validation of the LVP/SVP Compounding Vessel used in the production area for the preparation of bulk infusion solutions. It encompasses the qualification of the equipment and its impact on product quality.

Responsibilities

• Validation Team: Responsible for executing the DQ protocol and documenting results.
• Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the DQ protocol and results.
• Production: Responsible for operating the equipment according to established procedures.

Prerequisites

• Completion of User Requirements Specification (URS).
• Installation and operational qualification of the equipment.
• Training of personnel on the use of the compounding vessel.

Equipment Description

The LVP/SVP Compounding Vessel is a jacketed stainless steel vessel designed for the preparation of bulk infusion solutions. It features a PLC system for monitoring and control, ensuring critical parameters such as agitation, temperature, and hold time are maintained.

Test Plan

Detailed Test Cases

Test Case T1: Verify Agitation Functionality

Procedure: Start the compounding vessel and set the agitation speed. Record the speed and duration of agitation.

Acceptance Criteria: Agitation must achieve the specified speed within 5 minutes and maintain for the required duration.

Evidence: PLC logs and observation records will be collected to confirm compliance.

Test Case T2: Check Temperature Hold

Procedure: Set the desired temperature and monitor the vessel for a specified hold time.

Acceptance Criteria: Temperature must remain within ±2°C of the set point for the entire hold time.

Evidence: Temperature logs will be reviewed, and the PLC audit trail will be checked for compliance.

Test Case T3: Review PLC Audit Trail

Procedure: Access the PLC audit trail and review for any unauthorized changes during the operation.

Acceptance Criteria: No unauthorized changes should be present in the audit trail.

Evidence: A report of the PLC audit trail will be generated for review.

Deviations

Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented, with a rationale and proposed corrective actions. All deviations will require approval from Quality Assurance before proceeding.
