Nowadays there are more and more pharmaceutical corporations producing highly active medicine, it's very normal to see that the utilization of airtight equipment in the production process of highly active productions. However many companies are still confused about the airtight performance test of this type of equipment and how to conduct the risk assessment of the test process. Therefore, this article will pay attention to the introduction of how to conduct airtight performance test and risk assessment of airtight equipment used in the production process of highly active medicine. Hoping relevant pharmaceutical corporations can be enlightened from it, and making the production and verification of highly active drugs more standardized and scientific
1. Apèsi sou lekòl la
In this article, "highly active drugs" refers to the general term for drugs with high activity, high toxicity, high allergenicity, and high risk.
Atik 28 nan GMP Chinwa 2010 la mansyone ke travayè nan zòn operasyon gwo risk (egzanp: zòn pwodiksyon an nan gwo aktivite, segondè toksisite, segondè enfeksyon, materyèl alèjisite segondè) yo ta dwe aksepte tren espesyalize; atik la 46 mansyone ke pwodiksyon an nan dwòg ak pwopriyete espesyal, tankou dwòg ki trè alèjik (tankou penisilin) oswa pwodwi byolojik (tankou BCG oswa lòt dwòg prepare ak mikwo-òganis aktif), dwe itilize plant dedye ak endepandan, enstalasyon pwodiksyon ak ekipman. . Sa a se yon kondisyon espesyal pou klas sa a nan dwòg.
Dapre kondisyon ki nan Lachin GMP, dimansyon ak limit konfimasyon oswa verifikasyon yo ta dwe detèmine pa evalyasyon risk. Tès pèfòmans hermétique ekipman ki te itilize nan pwodiksyon trè aktif dwòg tou mande yon evalyasyon risk.
2. The elements may influence the equipment's airtight performance
2.1 Anplwaye
Kit baton yo te resevwa fòmasyon epi yo gen eksperyans ki enpòtan. Ak atansyon nan pèsonèl la pandan operasyon, seri a nan mouvman, elatriye tout ka afekte rezilta yo nan tès la pèfòmans byen fèmen nan ekipman an.
2.2 Ekipman
It's very important for the choose of test instrument. For air sampling, the flow rate of sampling pump is usually set at 2 L/M, and the sampling pump is calibrated with a calibrated flow meter. In addition, sampling pump need to be calibrated before and after test to ensure sampling pump does not change a lot in the test process. The air flow rate is very important, and the relevant information of the pre-calibration and post-calibration should be recorded.
Pou echantiyon sifas, echantiyon echantiyon pa ta dwe tonbe nan enpurte, pa ta dwe reyaji chimikman ak sibstans ki sou yo dwe teste a, yo ta dwe fasil pou elite, magazen ak itilize.
2.3 Materyèl
In suitable circumstance, the particle airtight performance test of the equipment can use substitute materials instead of actual materials. Test data completed with substitute materials can be used to predict similar operating conditions for actual materials. In some circumstances, using substitute materials may be necessary. For example, actual materials' chemical analysis method is not insensitive, or medicine ingredients are very expensive or medicine components are dangerous. Actual operation may have many kinds of substitute materials can be selected. However its chemical, physical properties and powder characteristics should be considered comprehensively, and should be close to the properties of the actual material.
2.4 Metòd
Metòd echantiyonaj jeneralman yo pran echantiyon lè ak echantiyon sifas yo.
Air sampling of personnel usually places the sampling head in the breathing area of the personnel(mouth, nose), this can simulate the total amount of inhalable particles. When sampling in operator breathing area, sampling equipment can't disturb the normal operation of operator. Breathing area sampling is recognized as the sampling method which closest to the actual impact on the operator, because this method considers some relevant elements about operator's activities and actions.
Surface sampling(swab sampling or wipe sampling) also can be used to ensure the equipment airtight property whether meet the requirement. Surface sampling can't adopt the methods of air sampling, such as surface's particulate matter, operators' clothes, or operators' hand/glove.
Comparing with air sampling, the execution of surface sampling should use validated methods and need to consider recovery rate of substitute from specific surface to solvent. The sampling area is specific 100c㎡(10cm10cm), but for the special requirements of geometric or contaminated equipment, in this case, take a specific area.
2.5 Anviwònman
Tès pèfòmans byen fèmen ekipman patikil yo bezwen konsidere enfliyans anviwònman tès la pou rezilta tès la.
Pandan tès la, nou bezwen anrejistre ak panse faktè debaz nan anviwònman tès la, ki gen ladan kalite lè a, tanperati, imidite, chanjman lè ak lòt faktè.
2.6 Mezire
Antre nan faz mezi yo apre pran echantiyon ak enstriman echantiyon, pwosesis mezi a bezwen konsidere erè yo ki ka koze pa pwosesis analiz la, enstriman tès la pou analiz echantiyon bezwen asire pèfòmans ki estab ak serye li yo. Bezwen yon pwosedi fonksyònman enstriman parfèt pou gide travay ki gen rapò ak pèsonèl yo.
2.7 Analiz risk ekipman ki fèmen yo ta dwe konsidere tou faktè sa yo
● Considering any influence for the accuracy of test result of any activities now and before. For example, the presence of contamination residues may affect the results of sample analysis;
● If you want to compare the airtight performance of different sealing equipment, you should concern the change of any system related to sealing equipment, near system or support system. Because these changes may influence the airtight ability of sealing equipment, such as change of air flow in air conditioning system, change of standard operating procedure (SOP), change of equipment itself, and change of sampling equipment;
● If an activity has a potentially significant risk to the accuracy of the test results, remedial measures should be taken to reduce or eliminate the impact;
● Text details should be detailed record;
● If video or photography has no influence to the product or environment, it is a valid method to provide sit recording.
3. Konklizyon
The airtight environment required for highly active drugs in the pharmaceutical production process is guaranteed by sealed equipment, equipment also forms the first protective screen for staff. If the airtight performance of the equipment does not meet the requirement, not only the drug's quality will be damaged, but also the operator's health will be influence a lot. Therefor, how to ensure the airtight ability of sealing equipment is a great important question for pharmaceutical companies which produce highly active medicine. This article provides guidance or suggestions for the risk research of equipment airtight capabilities of related enterprises from the perspective of how to identify risks and possible risk points of sealing equipment, in order to bring certain help.
