DESCRIPTION

In this presentation from IVT's 4th Annual Validation Week EU, Paul Pluta, discussed the differences between the traditional approach to cleaning validation and the lifecycle approach, applicable regulatory guidance, current industry trends, the necessary phases of the lifecycle approach (design and definition, cycle development, validation, and implementation), how to continously monitor the process, change control, and common obstacles to compliance.

MANUAL CLEANING -- Do you really know what is happening?

Q to operator: “Why is there so much foam in the tub?”A: “I put in extra soap because the equipment was really dirty.”

Q to operator: “Why is there powder on the (clean) equipment?”A: “No problem -- We’ll get the residue when we set up ”A: No problem -- We ll get the residue when we set up.

Q to operator: “Why don’t you follow the cleaning procedure?”Q to operator: Why don t you follow the cleaning procedure?A: “The cleaning procedure really doesn’t work.”

MANUAL CLEANING -- Do you really know what is happening?

Q to operator: “Why is there powder on the clean equipment?”p y p q pA: “It’s clean enough.”Q to QA (equipment inspection person): “Did you approve that the equipment

is clean?”A: “It’s clean enough.”Q to management: “Do you know that your equipment is not clean?”A: “It’s clean enough.”

Q to operator: “You cleaned the gasket with pure soap – this is not the procedure? Also it is dangerous – these are corrosive chemicals.”

A: “That is the only way to get it clean.”Q: “So why don’t you tell someone to change the procedure?”A: “We don’t have time.”

MANUAL CLEANING -- Do you really know what is happening?

Q to management: “Did you finish cleaning the equipment? We are here to swab for cleaning validation.”

A ( dl ) “W l d th i t th ti th tA (very proudly): “We cleaned the equipment three times so that we won’t have any problems.”

Q to validation person: “Did you know that the manufacturing people always clean the equipment multiple times before it is swabbed?”

A: “Sure, we knew.Q: “Why didn’t you stop this?”A: “These people are our friends. We have to work with these people.”

Lifecycle Approach to Cleaning Validation –Value? Does this make sense?Value? Does this make sense?

• Cleaning is a process

• Validation lifecycle concepts being applied to equipment, facilities, utilities, computers, etc., by validation and technical expertsp

• Who can argue with understanding, performing, and maintaining the validated state?g

• Consistent with QbD and ICH approaches

• Lifecycle approach (i.e., understanding, performing, maintaining) vs. traditional approach – Which would you rather present to an auditor?you rather present to an auditor?
