Laboratory Equipment Validation. August 22, 2012 |
Laboratory Equipment Validation.Validation Online’s combined IQ/OQ/PQ protocol was specifically designed to be used for laboratory type equipment. This document contains three protocols which collectively have approximately thirty inspections or tests that must be executed to verify that the item under qualification is used, operates and performs in a manner that satisfies all the appropriate requirements as detailed in the relevant User Requirements Specification (URS), cGMP’s and your company practices and procedure rulings. All companies carryout routine calendar based qualification and requalification functional testing of stand-alone laboratory type equipment. Unfortunately most of this testing is documented in a manner that is not compatible with basic FDA validation protocol standards. If a little time was spent on revamping these test documents standards, (changing the template would only have to be done once) a format could be used that would enable all such testing to be included in any validation requirement. Since regulators already accept the concept that unnecessary retesting should be avoided whenever possible. It follows that since all other tests in our protocols are fully written up, if the routine functional testing was of the right format then a recently executed routine or commissioning test could be reviewed and commented on in any validation protocols, as an alternative to repeating all the associated testing. This would result in the time line and cost of validation for this equipment being greatly reduced. Click here to view the FDA requirements for protocol testing formats and wording.

Bottom of Form Climatic Zone Validation Package-1 (Issue 1) This package is complete with all the validation documentation you require to validate the climatic condition within a warehouse a room or a large cabinet. Documentation includes our interactive and detailed Validation Plan (VP) the Validation Risk Assessment (VRA) the really easy to use Installation Qualification (IQ), the Operational Qualification (OQ) and finally the Performance Qualification (PQ). Along with the documentation are 10 highly accurate and easy to use data loggers ready to monitor and record close to 17K (each) parameters over what ever time base you select. This is now the simplest most expedient and most cost effective method of validating the climatic condition within any climatically controlled zone.

combination protocol has been produced in response
to several hundred
reader
suggestions we received in our - Suggestions Section. It has been carefully
designed to make it the preferred choice for Process and Laboratory
stand-alone
equipment. It is an interactive, fully detailed, sixty three page
protocol that
runs to approximately seven thousand words. It is presented in 'MS
Word' to
facilitate ease of final editing by the end user. It has become a very
popular
document.
