Purpose

The purpose of this SOP is to outline the procedures for validating the Suppository Leak Test Machine to ensure the integrity of suppositories produced and to comply with regulatory standards.

Scope

This SOP applies to the validation of the Suppository Leak Test Machine used in the Production and Quality Control areas for verifying the integrity of suppositories and implants.

Definitions

  • DQ: Design Qualification
  • IQ: Installation Qualification
  • OQ: Operational Qualification
  • PQ: Performance Qualification
  • CSV: Computerized System Validation

Roles

  • Validation Team: Responsible for executing the validation process.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Production Personnel: Operate the equipment and provide operational input.

Lifecycle Procedure

The lifecycle of the Suppository Leak Test Machine validation includes the following phases:

  1. Design Qualification (DQ)
  2. Installation Qualification (IQ)
  3. Operational Qualification (OQ)
  4. Performance Qualification (PQ)

GDP Controls

Good Documentation Practices (GDP) must be adhered to throughout the validation process to ensure traceability and compliance.

Acceptance Criteria Governance

Acceptance criteria shall be established based on the User Requirements Specification (URS) and in compliance with Annex 11 of the EU Guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practice.

Calibration/PM Governance

The Suppository Leak Test Machine shall undergo calibration and preventive maintenance as per the manufacturer’s recommendations and internal quality standards.

Change Control Triggers

Any changes to the equipment, processes, or software that could affect the performance or validation status of the Suppository Leak Test Machine must be documented and assessed through the change control process.
