the Challenges & triumphs of bfs Success is at hand
Earlene Gibbons • Senior Director, Operational Technology, Local Pharmaceutical Company in RTP • Ingrid Marshall • Project Manager, Avid Solutions, Inc. • Presenters
BLOW - Forms the container using a resin and mold What is bfs
FILL – Aseptic fill of container What is bfs
SEAL – Aseptic fill of container What is bfs
IN ONE MACHINE! What is bfs
Multi-step continuous process in one sterile machine • Produces small (.01 mL) to large volume liquid filled containers
BLOW FILL SEAL BENEFITS STERILITY -STUDIES OF PERFORMANCE BFS VS TRADITIONAL FLEXIBILITY (TYPE, SIZE) REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS STANDARD OF QUALITY PRODUCT PERFORMANCE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESINS (FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRODUCTS) ECOLOGICAL RESIN IS RECYCLABLE
BLOW FILL SEAL BENEFITS SAFETY BREAKAGE CONTAMINANTS NO PRE-WASHING RESIN IS STERILE MADE, FILLED & SEALED IN ONE SEQUENTIAL OPERATION NO CONTAINER STORAGE BEFORE FILLING “MUCH LOWER FREQUENCY (ON-TENTH) OF CONTAMINATED MEDIA FILLS COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL PROCESSES” –7. B. Ljungqvist et al., PDA J. Pharm. Sci. Technol. 60 (4), 254–258 (2006).
Logistics Transportation of resin only Storage of resin only No special consideration for storage of resin Cost of shipping product is significantly reduced Breakage
BFS • Expanding the usage of an OSD facility was risky. • Why? • Design challenges – new disciplines, new concepts, new • Utilities Expansion – No WFI • Building Renovation • Control system & SCADA architecture
BE PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT Things FOREVER THAT HARDLY MATTER THERE’S A SIMPLE SOLUTION USE Common sense DON’T BE AFRAID TO START OVER STOP FIGHTING SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER WORK GET AN EXPERT
Secrets to success Planning, planning, planning Having time to design before the schedule demands a solution Process knowledge Solution planning Control system & scada architecture – have a plan Controls systems are complete before mechanical completion Documentation completion after control system completion Documents approved before commissioning
THE COST MAGNIFIES AS TIME PROGRESSES Cost of change
THE COST ESCALATION - WHY • IT DEPENDS ON THE STAGE • WHY’S • EFFECTS EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE & THE DOMINO EFFECT • LEAD TIMES FOR EQUIPMENT • UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE • CONTROL SYSTEM • PENN STATE UNIVERSITY STUDIES SHOW 10X MULTIPLIER OF COST COMPARED TO IF DESIGNED UP FRONT
The importance of the basis of design • Foundation of the project • Functional design • Define connections between systems Lessons learned
Importance of choosing the right integrator Lessons learned
Importance of the team • Skill sets • Same objectives for success • Working together toward the same goal Lessons learned
