Installation Qualification Protocol for Sterilization System in Production of Coated Devices
Objective: To validate the installation of the Sterilization System to ensure it meets the requirements for sterilizing coated devices.
Scope: This protocol applies to the Sterilization System (EO/Gamma/E-beam) used in the production area for drug-eluting stents and coated devices.
Responsibilities:
- Validation Team: Execute the IQ protocol and document results.
- Quality Assurance: Review and approve the IQ protocol and results.
- Production Team: Provide necessary support and access to the equipment.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of equipment installation.
- Training of personnel on the operation of the Sterilization System.
- Availability of relevant standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Equipment Description:
The Sterilization System is designed for the sterilization of coated devices using EO, Gamma, or E-beam methods. It is critical for ensuring the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents.
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation of the Sterilization System components. | All components are installed as per manufacturer specifications. | Installation checklist signed by qualified personnel. |
| IQ-02 | Check calibration of critical parameters. | Calibration records are within acceptable limits. | Calibration certificates for each parameter. |
| IQ-03 | Audit trail review of cycle/dose mapping records. | Audit trail shows no discrepancies. | Audit trail report from the Sterilization System. |
Detailed Test Cases:
- Test Case for IQ-01: Inspect all physical connections and ensure compliance with installation documentation.
- Test Case for IQ-02: Review calibration logs and verify against manufacturer specifications.
- Test Case for IQ-03: Analyze cycle/dose mapping records for consistency and integrity; ensure no unauthorized changes in the audit trail.
Deviations: Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A corrective action plan should be established for any non-conformance.
