Operational Qualification Protocol for SIP System in Prefilled Syringe Production

Objective: To validate the operational performance of the SIP System used for sterilizing equipment and pipelines in the production of prefilled syringes and cartridges.

Scope: This protocol applies to the SIP System in the production area, focusing on sterilization processes that directly impact product quality.

Responsibilities:

  • Validation Team: Execute the protocol and document results.
  • Quality Assurance: Review and approve the protocol and results.
  • Production Team: Provide necessary support and access to the SIP System.

Prerequisites:

  • Completion of Installation Qualification (IQ).
  • Training of personnel on SIP System operation.
  • Availability of necessary materials and equipment for testing.

Equipment Description:

The SIP System is designed for the sterilization of equipment and pipelines used in the production of prefilled syringes and cartridges. It operates under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, ensuring effective sterilization.

Test ID Procedure Acceptance Criteria Evidence
OQ-001 Temperature Verification Temperature within specified range as per URS Annex15 Temperature logs
OQ-002 Pressure Verification Pressure within specified range as per URS Annex15 Pressure logs
OQ-003 Hold Time Verification Hold time meets specifications outlined in URS Annex15 Hold time logs
OQ-004 Audit Trail Review Complete and accurate audit trail logs Audit trail reports

Detailed Test Cases:

  • Test Case OQ-001: Verify that the temperature reaches and maintains the specified range during the sterilization cycle. Record temperature data and analyze against acceptance criteria.
  • Test Case OQ-002: Confirm that the pressure remains within the required limits throughout the sterilization process. Document pressure readings for compliance verification.
  • Test Case OQ-003: Assess the hold time to ensure it aligns with the URS Annex15 requirements. Log the duration and evaluate against acceptance standards.
  • Test Case OQ-004: Review audit trail logs to ensure all actions taken during the sterilization process are recorded accurately and completely.
