Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) • Production • Utilities • Equipment • Dosage form and data verification (development, validation, biobatch, stability, BMR and specification) • Quality control • API, excipients • Packaging material • Data verification (e.g. stability)
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) • Production • Product focus • Premises • Utilities • Equipment • Dosage form and data verification (development, validation, biobatch, stability, BMR and specification) • Documentation
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) • Where to start the inspection? • Facility layout • Flow of personnel and material, activities • Product list • Type of products, dosage forms, activities • Utilities (HVAC, water, etc) • Validation status
Example of Materials and People Flow Zone: Clean Zone: Packaging Zone: Controlled
Facility layoutFlow of personnel and material, activities • Sampling (starting materials and packaging materials) • Weighing • Mixing • Milling • Sieving/sifting/screening • Granulation • Drying • Sieving • Blending • Compression
Facility layoutFlow of personnel and material, activities • In process bulk stores • Packaging areas (primary and secondary packaging) • Finished product
Product listType of products, dosage forms, activities • Multi-product • Various tablets • Uncoated artesunate • Risk of cross-contamination and contamination • Non dedicated areas and equipment • Batch to batch consistency
Facility layoutFlow of personnel and material, activities • Batch Manufacturing Document • Formula and manufacturing steps • API and excipients • Properties and requirements for temperature or RH control • Material quantities, batch size • Sub lots • Equipment and utilities • Production areas
Equipment and utilities (1) Sieving/sifting – sifter (e.g. vibrosifter) Mixing – mixer Granulation - granulator Drying – fluid bed drier Blending – octagonal blender Compression – compression machine Packaging - blister machine Others include Metal detector, sieves, punches and dies In process quality control instruments and equipment may include hardness tester, disintegration tester, balance, caliper
Equipment and utilities (2) • HVAC – air supply and extraction • Compressed air – machine operation, drying of equipment and parts • Water – washing, rinsing, manufacture • Steam – cleaning
Utilities • The environment may be influenced by: • Light • Temperature • Humidity • Air movement • Microbial contamination • Particulate contamination • Uncontrolled environments can lead to: • Product degradation • Product contamination • Loss of Product & Profit
Utilities • HVAC: GMP and GEP • Effective ventilation • Cross-contamination and contamination • Qualification/validation • Design • Installation • Operation • Performance
Air supply and extraction Red: Supply Green: Exhaust
Filters Fan Flow rate controller Control damper Humidifier Cooling coil Ducts Problems with components • Incorrect retention rate/leaking/badly installed • Low air flow ® loss of pressure cascade • Blocked ® poor pressure cascade ® cross-contamination • Poorly adjusted, bad pressure differential system • Bad water/steam quality/poor drainage/ • No elimination of condensed water/poor drainage/stagnating water • Inappropriate material/internal insulation • Leaking ducts
Utilities: Water systems • Type of water • Intended use • Quality (specification) • Design of the system • Qualification and validation • Ongoing monitoring and quality control • Sampling, testing, trends
Validation status • Validation Master Plan • Manufacturing areas • Utilities • Equipment • Manufacturing process • Cleaning validation • Computer systems • Others…
On site verification • From receiving to stores • Sampling and weighing • Manufacturing areas • Utilities • Documentation review
