8.0 METHODOLOGY OF CLEANING PROCESS VALIDATION
When the process is completed then note the time and date step wise. Record the start of un cleaned hold time, after 30 hrs note the time with date for evaluation of un-cleaned hold time.
After 30 hr take swab and rinse sample for microbial evaluation as per respective SOP QM-047-02
Take the sample for un-cleaned hold time as per sampling plan given at page no. 30.
Clean all equipments as per respective SOP for all equipment given at point no. 7.2
Initially take the microbial swab as point no. 8.7 then Take rinse sample for chemical analysis as per point no. 8.8
After collection of samples hold all equipments and accessories for 72 hrs. After 72 hrs again collect the samples of all equipments and accessories as per sampling plan . After 72 hr. note the time and date as per sampling plan for evaluation of cleaned equipment hold time. First take swab sample for microbiology, then chemical rinse. Send these samples to QC for analysis.
Sample shall be taken from hardest to clean surface of the equipment(i.e Dead legs, Dead spots).
Continue the above procedure for another two batches.
