Operational Qualification Protocol for Ophthalmic Sterile Filtration Skid
Meta Description: This document outlines the Operational Qualification (OQ) protocol for the Ophthalmic Sterile Filtration Skid, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for the production of sterile eye drops and ointments.
Tags: Equipment Validation, Ophthalmics, Sterile Filtration, Operational Qualification
Objective
The objective of this Operational Qualification (OQ) protocol is to verify that the Ophthalmic Sterile Filtration Skid operates according to specified requirements and is suitable for its intended use in the production of sterile eye drops and ointments.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Operational Qualification of the Ophthalmic Sterile Filtration Skid (0.22 µm) located in the Production area, utilized for sterilizing filtration of ophthalmic products.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for executing the OQ protocol and documenting results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the OQ protocol and results.
- Production Personnel: Responsible for providing necessary support during testing.
Prerequisites
- All relevant equipment and systems must be installed and operational.
- Staff must be trained on the equipment and OQ procedures.
- All necessary documentation must be available and reviewed.
Equipment Description
The Ophthalmic Sterile Filtration Skid is designed for sterilizing filtration of ophthalmic products, featuring a 0.22 µm filter. It includes a flow integrity monitoring system and an audit trail for data integrity compliance.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| OQ-01 | Flow Rate Verification | Flow rate must meet specified limits as per URS. | Flow rate logs and calibration certificates. |
| OQ-02 | DP Integrity Testing | Integrity must be maintained throughout the process. | Integrity test results. |
| OQ-03 | Audit Trail Review | All actions must be logged with proper timestamps. | Audit trail reports. |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case OQ-01: Flow Rate Verification
Procedure: Measure the flow rate of the filtrate during operation. Compare with URS specifications.
Acceptance Criteria: Flow rate must be within the specified range.
Evidence: Documented flow rate readings.
Test Case OQ-02: DP Integrity Testing
Procedure: Perform a differential pressure integrity test before and after the filtration process.
Acceptance Criteria: DP integrity must be maintained without exceeding limits.
Evidence: Integrity test results documentation.
Test Case OQ-03: Audit Trail Review
Procedure: Review the audit trail generated by the system for completeness and accuracy.
Acceptance Criteria: All actions must be logged with appropriate timestamps and user IDs.
Evidence: Printed or electronic audit trail reports.
Deviations
Any deviations from the protocol must be documented and justified. A deviation report must be submitted for review and approval.
Approvals
All results and documentation must be reviewed and approved by the Quality Assurance department before the equipment is deemed qualified for use.
