Document Number: IQ-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Prepared By: [Insert Name]
Approved By: [Insert Name]
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) Protocol is to verify that the SIP System used for sterilizing equipment and pipelines in the production of prefilled syringes and cartridges is installed correctly and operates as intended.
Scope
This protocol applies to the SIP System located in the Production area and is intended for use in the sterilization process of equipment and pipelines impacting product quality directly.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for executing the IQ protocol and documenting results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the IQ protocol and results.
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for ensuring the SIP System is maintained in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
Prerequisites
- Installation of the SIP System must be completed.
- All necessary utilities (water, electricity, etc.) must be available.
- Training of personnel on the operation of the SIP System must be completed.
Equipment Description
The SIP System is designed to sterilize equipment and pipelines through the application of steam under pressure. The system includes temperature and pressure controls, monitoring capabilities, and an audit trail for logging critical parameters.
