31-03-2010Seminar onVALIDATION OF EQUIPMENT Prepared by: Jayesh P. Dobariya M.Pharm. Sem-II Roll no. 04
Outlines • Introduction • Parts/steps of qualification • Role of FDA in equipment validation • Example of equipment validation • Future of equipment validation • References
Introduction Objectives: • Improvement of overall production reliability and availability • Safety • Fewer interruptions of work • Lower repair costs • Elimination of premature replacements • Less standby equipment • Identification of high maintenance cost • Reduction of variation in results • Greater confidence in reliability of results
Cont… • Preliminary steps: -Project Management -Equipment Master Plan -User Requirement Specification -Design Qualification(DQ)
Cont… • Other main parts of equipment validation: - Installation Qualification(IQ) - Operational Qualification(OQ) - Performance Qualification(PQ) - Change control & Requalification
Role of FDA in EQ • The Validation process is regulated by the guidelines & restrictions set forth by the FDA. • CFR: Code of Federal Regulation created by US Government that sets guidelines pertaining for food and drugs. • Validation rules are given in the 21 CFR Part 210 & Part 211 as the part of cGMP.
Example of EQ Dissolution test apparatus validation
Cont… Installation Qualification: • Following points are to be considered. 1.Preventive maintenance of Dissolution Apparatus. 2.Utilities 3.Environmental conditions: As per the USP standards, “Thedissolution Apparatus should be kept in an environment that do not provide additional motion/agitation/vibration to the rotating element of the apparatus.”
Cont… Operational Qualification: • It is also known as system suitability test • Performed using USP Calibrator tablets: USP Prednisolone Tablets (disintegrating type) USP Salicylic acid Tablets (non-disintegrating type) • Test is considered successful if the percent of drug released within 30 min. falls within the pre-established range. • This test must be conducted for each of the vessels contained within a dissolution apparatus.
Cont… Some additional tests: As per the guidelines of Validation for Dissolution test Apparatus, • It is mandatory to perform 1.Temperature Distribution Study & 2.Rotation Speed Study
Future of EQ • PAT (Process Analytical Technology) will add new dimensions to the Validation in future.
