equipment for large scale paretral and quality control
This document summarizes equipment and quality control procedures for the large-scale manufacture of parenteral products. It describes storage, washing, drying, filling and sealing equipment needed for manufacturing areas and aseptic rooms. Quality control includes leak testing, clarity testing, pyrogen testing using rabbit tests or LAL assays, and sterility testing to check for microorganisms. HEPA filters and laminar flow work stations are used to maintain sterile conditions.

- 2. EQUIPMENTS The following equipmentsas per schedule- M has been recommended a. Manufacturing area: Storage equipment for ampoules , vials & closures Washing and drying equipments Dustproof storage cabinet Water still Mixing and preparation tanks or other containers Mixing equipments Filtering equipments hot air sterilizer 2

- 4. STERILE GARMENT CABINET Stainlesssteel Sterility is maintained by use of UV disinfectant May be designed horizontal air flow system and clean air through HEPA filter 4
- 5. HEPA FILTER HEPA filterscan remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 µm in diameter. HEPA filters are composed of a mat of randomly arranged fibers. Key factors affecting function are fiber density and diameter, and filter thickness. The air space between HEPA filter is much greater than 0.3µm. The common assumption that a HEPA filter acts like a sieve where particles smaller than the largest opening can pass through is incorrect. 5
- 6. TYPES OF CONTAINERFOR PARENTERAL AMPOULES • Intended for single use • Product must be filtered before use VIALS • Glass or plastic containers are closed with a rubber stopper and sealed with an aluminum crimp PREFILLED SYRINGE • Intended for quickest administration 6
- 7. AMPOULE WASHING MACHINE Thoroughlycleaned with detergents. Washed with tap water & distilled water finally rinsed with water for injection 7
- 8. VIAL WASHING MACHINE Ithas several channels for washing of the vial. The vials travel through these channels and simultaneously purified water , air ,water for injection, are introduced through various nozzles and arranged in the washing machine. •After washing completes the vial run through depyogenation zones. •Here the ampoules /vials are made to free from pyrogens (sterilization is done here) 8
- 9. FILLING MACHINE AMPOULE FILLINGMACHINE • Filling range is between 1 ml - 20 ml. • At the mean time Sealing is done either by laser sealing system or conventional gas flame VIALS FILLING • The comprises of an intake section which loads the vials • Transferred through an intermittent transport section. • Liquid filling section which fills the vials with predetermined quantity. • Finally the filled and rubber Stopperd vials are released and discharged. 9
- 10. QUALITY CONTROL The threegeneral area of quality control are incoming stock, manufacturing and the finished product. Types of Quality Control: LEAKERS TEST CLARITY TEST PYROGEN TEST STERILITY TEST • • • • 10
- 11. LEAKERS TEST This testis to detect incompletely sealed ampoules. The sealed ampoules are subjected to small cracks which occurs to rapid temperature changes or due to mechanical shock Filled and sealed ampoules Dipped in 1% methylene blue solution under negative pressure in vacuum chamber Vacuum released coloured solution enter into the ampoule Defective sealing Vials and bottles are not suitable in this test because the sealing material is not rigid.
- 12. CLARITY TEST A clearhaving a high polish conveys product is of exceptional quality and purity. Practically impossible to prepare sterile product perfectly free from visible particulate matter(size 30-40 µm). Quality control departments responsibility – to detect and discard unclean products. USP states that good pharmaceutical practice requires that all containers be visually inspected and that any with visible particles may be discarded. For large volume infusions,the USP has established a limit of 50 particles of 10 µm and larger and five particles of 25 µm and larger per ml. Visual inspection of products containers usually done by individual human inspection of each externally clean container under a good light and viewed against a black and white background. Contents set in motion with a swirling action. Instrumental method of evaluation of particles utilizes principles of light scattering, light absorbtion and electrical resistance for particle count and size distribution.

- 14. RABBIT TEST Rabbits areused as the test animal because they show a physiological response to pyrogens similar to that of human beings. 3 healthy adult rabbits of either male or female, each weighing not less than 1.5 kg are selected. 14
- 15. METHOD Normal Temperature is recorded priorto the test Dilute the test substance in pyrogen free saline solution Test solution is injected through an ear vein Volume of injection is maintained between 0.5 10ml/kg Warm the solution to 38.5oC Body temperature is recorded by a clinical rectal thermometer Record temperature at an interval of 30min for 3hr The difference between initial and final temperature is recorded 15
- 16. LAL TEST LIMULUS AMEBOCYTELYSATE TEST • • To detect endotoxins of gram negative bacterial origin. Reagent: Amebocytes of Limulus polyphemus. Technique: Gel Clot technique: In the presence of pyrogenic endotoxins from gram –ve bacteria , a firm gel is formed within 60 min when incubated at 37º C. 16
- 17. METHOD Equal Volume ofLAL reagent and test solution (usually 0.1 ml of each) are mixed in a depyrogenated test-tube Incubation at 37°C, 1 hour Remove the tube Invert at (180°) observe the result Pass-fail test(GEL FORMATION) 17
- 18. STERILITY TEST It isa procedure carried out to detect confirm absence of any viable form of microbes in product. Principle: sterlity testing only shows that organisms capable of growing in selected conditions are absent from the fraction of batch that has been tested. If the microorganism are present in the product can be indicated by a turbidity in the clear medium. Objective of Sterility Testing: For validation of sterilization process To prevent issue of contaminated product in market To check presence of microorganism in preparation which are sterile 18
