Design Qualification Protocol for the Parts Washer in Transdermal Patch Production
Objective: To establish the Design Qualification (DQ) for the Parts Washer used in the cleaning of removable parts in the production of Transdermal Patches, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and internal standards.
Scope: This protocol applies to the Parts Washer utilized in the production area for cleaning components that directly impact the quality of Transdermal Patches.
Responsibilities:
- Validation Team: Responsible for the execution and documentation of the DQ protocol.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the DQ documentation.
- Production Personnel: Responsible for operating the Parts Washer as per the validated procedures.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of User Requirement Specification (URS) document.
- Installation Qualification (IQ) must be completed prior to DQ execution.
- Training of personnel on the operation of the Parts Washer.
Equipment Description:
The Parts Washer is designed for cleaning removable parts used in the production of Transdermal Patches. It operates under specific conditions of wash temperature, pressure, and detergent application to ensure effective cleaning and compliance with regulatory standards.
