Cleaning Validation……Cleaning Mechanisms
Solubility :Solubility involves the dissolution of one chemical (the contaminant) in a liquid solvent. For example, salts may be soluble in water, and certain organic actives may be soluble in acetone or methanol.
One of the primary cleaning mechanisms to be considered during design phase.
Rate of solubility, Insoluble form, Soluble – Insoluble species

Wetting :Wetting involves the displacement of one fluid from a solid surface by another fluid. Wetting can be improved by the addition of surfactants.It improve penetration of the cleaning solution into cracks and crevices, which are usually difficult-to clean locations.

Cleaning Validation……Cleaning MechanismsEmulsification :Breaking up an insoluble liquid residue into smaller droplets and then suspending those droplets throughout the water.
Emulsion = Mechanical energy + Surfactants / Polymers.
Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable (say, 5 to 10 mins.).
Redeposition of the cleaned residue back onto the equipment surfaces.
Agitation should be continued till the time to discharge the cleaning solution to the drain.

Cleaning Validation……Grouping Strategies
22
"Grouping" is the concept of demonstrating that certain elements of cleaning are of a similar type, and selecting one (or more) representative object(s) on which to conduct the Cleaning Validation (Cleaning Process Qualification).
Product grouping :
Same manufacturing equipments being used. Same cleaning SOPs being followed. Similar formulations. Similar risk / therapeutic group.
Equipment grouping, Cleaning method grouping, Cleaning agent grouping, …………….., etc.

Cleaning Validation…..Worst Case considerations
Once the product groups have been established, the next step is to determine the so-called “worst case” representative of each group.
It is that member(s) who shows the highest challenge on cleaning program.
Worst case product : Toxicity / solubility / Single Therapeutic
Dosage.Worst case eq. train : Longest train.Worst case equipment : Larger size equipment
(identical design).Worst case acc. criteria: Stringent acceptance
criteria.Hold time studies : Longest possible
duration.Campaign Mfg. : Highest possible nos. of
batches.

Cleaning Validation…..Worst Case considerations
There is no ‘hard & fast’ rule on worst case selection.
A good logic and science should always be used.
Grouping and worst case selection help to demonstrate cleaning method robustness.
It smartly reduces the load from cleaning validation program.

limits ?What are the impacts of after
cleaned residue ?Human Drug CGMP Notes, 9:2, 2Q 2001 :“Should equipment be as clean as the best possible method of residue detection or quantification?”
Answer: “No,……absolute cleanliness is neither valuable nor feasible…. It should be as clean as can be reasonably be achieved, to a residue limit that is medically safe and that causes no product quality concerns…………….”
