"A validation quality plan must define, detail and mandate means and methods by which an approved change control concept can be progressed through the regulatory qualification process and into cGMP compliant production"
The Validation Quality Plan (VQP) is probably the most important of
all documents in a validation project. It is an essential document in giving
assurance that the validation task can be successfully executed in an effective, timely
and cost effective manner. Simply because
this is the stage in the operation where all aspects of the validation are
highlighted, debated, allotted and budgeted for. Once the full scope of the
validation task is unearthed; then and then alone, can all these facets be
catered for and sensible time lines and responsibilities deliberated. To this end there may be several VA in
any major validation project. Each VP will cover
identical or similar equipment where the validation responsibilities and scopes
are identical or similar and can be adequately defined in one validation quality plan.
The top level of the User
Requirements Specifications (URS) must be in place to enable
the author(s) of the VP to start assessing; not only the basic user level
requirements but the attendant needs that the user level requirements make
requisite, such as; staff levels, user training, maintenance training, utility
and facility loadings. Along with
these requirements will come a multitude of other minor and major issues that
only ever become obvious after such extended and invasive studies are
completed. Only when these
requirements are fully reviewed and documented, can they be accurately
quantified. However once they are
defined, then the VP can start to allocate and document individual staff
responsibilities and individual and collective achievable time lines. Now the stage has arrived where a defined,
detailed and workable validation quality plan can be documented, reviewed, and subject
to reviewed comments being incorporated; issued by management as the official Validation
Quality plan of action.
The VP is the document that the company must use to authorize actual validation
methodologies, scopes and associated individual responsibilities (by job
title). It therefore has to work hand in hand with the
Validation
Risk assessment (VRA). The VA must list all the equipment that
it applies to and the VRA must be executed against each of the items in this
list. On completion of each
execution the appropriate scope of validation will be indicated by the VRA. This scope must be entered into the
appropriate section of the VP, before it becomes an approved and locked
controlled document. The VP will
therefore list the scope of validation applicable to each listed item along with
any individual specific methodologies that should be used.
The Validation Master Plan (VMP) is the single most important document because it describes the basic concept for your overall site validation program. This interactive detailed document is a delight and simple to use. The generic template and attached SOP lead you through the whole process quickly and seamlessly. This thirty page document is suitable for all types of pharmaceutical /bio-technical / medical device / API, manufacturer and or processor. The VMP addresses process validation, facility validation, utility validation, equipment qualification and cleaning validation. The objective is to define responsibilities, outline your methods involved in the qualification and validation of your facility, define the areas and systems to be qualified and validated and to provide a program for achieving and maintaining a validated status.
Risk Mitigation in Validation template (Issue 11) $125.00 The Risk and Part 11 Validation Risk Assessment(VRA) protocol is becoming the most important document in the validation online train. The VRA reassures the regulators that you have looked at specific equipment functionality and considered the appropriate level of validation that is required. You have also considered various aspects of its use and the implications of any malfunctions. From the results of this exercise the scope of all validation activity can and must be justified. This is a robust and simple to execute document, one that will lead you through the process and deliver a result that can be used as the foundation for your Risk Mitigation in Validation template.
This VRA now includes the assessment table for categorizing and documenting the new 21 CFR Part 11 guidance ruling on what predicate data must be stored in a Part compliant system, along with the new broadsheet to establish your new database of part 11 records. (now mandatory).
This Pharmaceutical Validation 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 and associated standard operating procedure TEMPLATE. The associated medical device validation Master Plan template is interactive, easy to use and suitable for all mixes of equipment with and without software. Where temperature mapping is required it will included in this section. This of course may well be a Risk Mitigation in Validation risk Assessment template. As per 21 CFR Part 11.
The Installation Qualification Template or IQ section establishes documented verification that all medical device validation template online executables are catered for and that key aspects of the equipment Qualification adhere to approved design Qualification template and the recommendations of the manufacturer have been suitably considered. The Operational Qualification Template section establishes that there is documented verification that the installed system functions as specified and that there is sufficient documented process validation A executables to demonstrate this. The PQ section develops documented evidence that all the requirements specified in your corporate validation 4U manual have been verified as operating consistently and exactly as specified in the medical device validation template; The User Requirements Specification template
The Standard Operating Procedure template (SOP) used to generate this installation Qualification template (IQ), takes you through the process line by line, chapter by chapter. It really is unique to find a SOP document so easy to use, all the work is done for you. All the documents are detailed, all the drawings listed and all the checks and tests detailed. The final product is a professional and comprehensive Installation Qualification template. One that you can produce in less than 60 minutes. Yes, think about it, we all know how long producing IQ documents has taken in the past, whether for current Good Manufacturing Practice use medical device use or a simple installation qualification template.
You will find this validation online intuitive Operational Qualification template (OQ) delightfully simple and straightforward to use, as it takes you through the process of customization of your Operational Qualification Protocol template. Following the attached SOP will quickly and smoothly convert your template into an equipment specific 21 CFR Part 11 compliant Installation Qualification Template. The OQ template comes complete with all the standard test scripts, more specialist test scripts can be found listed below. These can easily be pasted into the standard OQ, allowing you to quickly build your own fully detailed and referenced company bespoke Operational Qualification Protocol, along with the installation qualification template.
The User Requirements Specification template is the document that sets the standard, and specifies your requirements in a manner that ensures when a system or piece of equipment is selected for cGMP use that all essential support elements; i.e. maintenance, parts, operator & maintenance training, are planned and budgeted for. It uses three levels of User Requirements Specification Template (URS), URS Level 1, 2 and 3, and is the only URS to guarantee traceability from the URS through to the final OQ and PQ functionality testing. A requirement mandated by cGMP regulations. It can be used on mechanical, electrical and software controlled, monitored or driven systems.
