Approved by: [Approver Name]
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) Protocol is to verify that the VHP Generator is installed correctly and operates according to the specified requirements to ensure effective decontamination of the aseptic environment.
Scope
This protocol applies to the VHP Generator used in the production area for the decontamination of prefilled syringes and cartridges, impacting the product directly.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Responsible for executing the IQ protocol and documenting results.
- Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the protocol and results.
- Maintenance Team: Responsible for ensuring that the equipment is maintained and calibrated.
Prerequisites
All personnel involved in the execution of this protocol must be trained in the operation of the VHP Generator and familiar with relevant SOPs.
Equipment Description
The VHP Generator is a system designed to generate vaporized hydrogen peroxide for the decontamination of aseptic environments. It is critical for maintaining the integrity of the production process for prefilled syringes and cartridges.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation location and connections | Installation matches approved layout | Photographic evidence and installation checklist |
| IQ-02 | Check calibration of equipment | Calibration within specified limits | Calibration certificates |
| IQ-03 | Test concentration levels | Concentration meets specified requirements | Test results log |
| IQ-04 | Verify dwell time | Dwell time matches protocol specifications | Audit trail logs |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case: IQ-01
Procedure: Verify that the VHP Generator is installed at the designated location with all connections secured according to layout specifications.
Acceptance Criteria: The installation matches the approved layout.
Evidence: Photographic evidence and signed installation checklist.
Test Case: IQ-02
Procedure: Check the calibration of the VHP Generator to ensure it is within specified limits.
Acceptance Criteria: Calibration is within specified limits as per manufacturer guidelines.
Evidence: Calibration certificates from the last calibration cycle.
Test Case: IQ-03
Procedure: Measure the concentration levels produced by the VHP Generator during operation.
Acceptance Criteria: Concentration levels meet specified requirements as outlined in the URS Annex11.
Evidence: Test results log demonstrating compliance.
Test Case: IQ-04
Procedure: Verify the dwell time during the decontamination process.
Acceptance Criteria: Dwell time must match protocol specifications as outlined in the URS Annex11.
Evidence: Audit trail logs confirming dwell time.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and assessed for impact on validation. A corrective action plan must be developed and implemented as necessary.
Approvals
The protocol and its results must be reviewed and approved by the Quality Assurance department prior to the operational use of the VHP Generator.
