Scope

This SOP applies to the validation of the Ophthalmic Bottle Washing Machine used in the production area for sterile eye drops and eye ointments.

Definitions

  • DQ: Design Qualification
  • IQ: Installation Qualification
  • OQ: Operational Qualification
  • PQ: Performance Qualification
  • CSV: Computerized System Validation
  • URS: User Requirements Specification

Roles

Key roles involved in the validation process include:

  • Validation Manager
  • Quality Assurance Personnel
  • Production Personnel
  • Maintenance Personnel

Lifecycle Procedure

  1. Conduct Design Qualification (DQ) to ensure the design meets user requirements.
  2. Perform Installation Qualification (IQ) to verify that the equipment is installed correctly.
  3. Execute Operational Qualification (OQ) to confirm that the equipment operates according to specifications.
  4. Carry out Performance Qualification (PQ) to validate the equipment’s performance under actual production conditions.

GDP Controls

Good Documentation Practices (GDP) must be followed throughout the validation process, ensuring all records are accurate, complete, and legible.

Acceptance Criteria Governance

Acceptance criteria will be based on User Requirements Specification (URS) Annex 11, ensuring that all requirements are met prior to equipment release.

Calibration/PM Governance

Calibration and preventive maintenance (PM) schedules must be established and adhered to, ensuring the equipment remains in a validated state.
