Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer
|
The term 'cleaning validation' has been known to make grown men cry, or at least shake with fear! It is a much misunderstood process yet can be relatively straightforward if tackled correctly and methodically. Cleaning validation can be defined as 'documented evidence that has a high level of assurance, where a cleaning process will consistently produce equipment and products meeting pre-determined quality specifications.' There are many approaches to establishing a rugged, documented, validated cleaning programme. Here we will discuss just one option of approaching cleaning validation in a systematic way, to achieve the final cleaning goal.
Step 1
In this initial step, there are four tasks to accomplish before being able to move to Step 2.
1. Identify and keep a record of all manufacturing and filling equipment, which is dedicated to one product or used for multiple products. Equipment used for multiple products may be considered (provided it is qualified) for product grouping as an alternative to individually validating all the products processed with the same equipment. Similarly constructed equipment is defined as having a different size, but built with the same material of construction when compared to the equipment train in the specific group.

Detecting Integrity Breaches in a range of Pharmaceutical Blister Package Types using Sepha VisionScan
Sepha Limited
Demonstrating the integrity of pharmaceutical blister packs is critically important, as any defects can affect the shelf life and efficacy of the contents. Compared to bulk packaging, blister packs offer improved product integrity, tamper evidence and reduce the likelihood of misuse. Packs can be composed of either a thermoformed polymer or cold formed aluminium tray, with a number of individual pockets to hold the product. After the tablets or capsules are placed in the pockets, the packs are heat sealed with a paper or foil laminate sheet. These various stages can be completed separately or integrated into a single form, fill and seal process. There is a risk of microbial containment or degradation of the contents if any defects are present in the packaging. Such defects can take the form of rips or pinholes in the tray, or lid materials, faulty seals and channel leaks between pockets.
