Mix-Up and Source of Contamination
• In pharmaceutical manufacturing, mix ups and contamination
poses a big danger and hence necessary precaution and
measure should be taken to avoid the same.
• Mix ups can be defined as presence of undesired materials
into desirable materials, which can generally be visibly seen,
e.g.
1. Cartons of one product into another.
2. Tablets of one product with another product which have
similar size, shapes or color etc.
6
Causes that may give rise to a mix-up
 The close proximity or location of similar items
 Items having the same colour or combination of colours
 Multiple products handled at the same time/packaging
 Use of the same apparatus or equipment for multiple products
 Improper storage of sterile and non-sterile products
 Care not being taken during packaging and/or repackaging of
products
 Mistakes made when dispensing
 Unused labels or earlier production left in the production area
 Improper documentation and labeling
 No ID code on materials or products
7
Causes that may give rise to a mix-up
 Inadequate training of personnel
 Failure of the processing equipment
 Manual packaging and repacking
 Inadequate control or procedures
 Improper affixing of labels
 Vendor’s Location, for example the printer may be located
some distance from the PC or device that sends the output
to the printer. The wrong person may mistakenly use the
wrong printout e.g., for labels.
 Improper or lack of proper communication
 Same personnel handling two machines or equipment at
the same time
8
Mix-Up and Source of Contamination
• Contamination is also presence of some material where it is not desired.
However this may not always be visibly seen, e.g. fine dust of one product
into another product; fine black particles of dust into processing materials
etc.
• Cross Contamination: Contamination of a starting material, intermediate
product or finished product with another starting material or a product
during production.
• Contamination of products can be caused by:
 Contaminated clothing
 Contaminated equipment
 Contaminated or faulty HVAC system
 People, e.g., carrying harmful bacteria
 Contaminated Premises
 Processing Operations
 Utilities/Services
9
Controlling of Contamination and
Mix-Up
• Exhaust system with proper air filtration and dust collection
should be placed where heavy dust is generated. Collected dust
should be disposed off by suitable method.
• Separate air handling unit should be provided for each work
station activities so that a closed circuit air system along with
proper air filtration will be operating. This will avoid particulate
contamination from one possessing area to another.
• Depending upon the nature of the products being handled
different rooms should be maintained at different air pressure.
Generally more clean area should be maintained at high air
pressure, so that less clean air will not enter the cleaner area.
Doors of the rooms should open in the high air pressure area, so
that they always remain close. This is in addition to provision of
door closures. 10
Controlling of Contamination and
Mix-Up
• Packaging lines in the central packaging areas should be
well segregated. A partition of at least 1.2 to 1.5 meters
is recommended in two adjacent packaging lines. This
avoids accidental mix-ups of materials from two adjacent
lines.
• Trained people : In Pharma processing the people should
be trained in their jobs and also in the principles of
cGMP.
• Following the correct and disciplined procedures and
good manufacturing practices help in avoiding cross-
contamination and mix-ups.
11
Controlling of Contamination and
Mix-Up
Cross contamination should be avoided by appropriate technical or
organizational measures e.g.
 Production in segregated areas (which may be required for products such as
penicillin, live vaccines, live bacterial preparations and certain other
biological), or by campaign (separation in time) followed by appropriate
cleaning.
 Providing appropriate airlocks, pressure differentials and air extraction.
Minimizing the risk of contamination caused by recirculation or re-entry of
untreated or insufficiently treated air.
 Wearing protective clothing in areas where products with special risk of cross-
contamination are processed.
 Using cleaning and decontamination procedures of known effectiveness, as
ineffective cleaning of equipment is a common source of cross contamination.
 Using a “closed system" for material handling and production
 Testing of residues on equipments and areas.
 Using cleanliness status on equipment. 12
Starting from the receipt of raw materials till these materials are
converted into bulk goods ready for packaging into their primary and then
finished packs, certain points are required to be kept in mind so that the
identity, strength, safety and purity of product is maintained.
Following are some of these paints:
 Before starting any processing, the materials received from the stores
should be checked for the identity and quantity. This verification can
be done against the labels on their containers and by actually weighing
or measuring the quantity of materials.
 Process area and equipment must be clean and no traces of previous
product should be there.
 Environmental conditions must meet the processing requirements
e.g. temperature, relative humidity, pressure gradient, class of air,
lighting etc, such observations should be recorded in BPCR and other
relevant registers etc.
Processing and intermediate and
bulk products
13
Processing and intermediate and
bulk products
 All primary containers used for filling of finished products should be
clean to the acceptable level of cleanliness. Bulk containers used for
storage of in-process materials should also be thoroughly cleaned
before use.
 Yield of materials at all critical stages of operations should be checked
e.g. granulation, compression, filling operations of capsules, liquid
bottles etc. and compared against theoretical yields expected, any
abnormal deviations must be investigated and corrective actions taken.
14
Processing and intermediate and
bulk products
All measuring, weighing, recording and
controlling equipment and instrument should be
calibrated regularly so that they always remain in
a state of calibration. Records of such calibrations
should be maintained.
Repairs and maintenance operations should not
present any hazard to the quality of the products.
All IPQC checks should be carried out is to be
recorded and investigated.
Access to production areas should be restricted
only to authorized persons.
15
IPQC in Manufacturing and Packaging
• Standard operating procedures should be available and
followed for in-process quality control activity during
manufacturing and packaging activities.
• Critical steps should be identified in each formulation
process and specifications defined for the parameters to
be tested at such stages.

21
Packaging operation
Similar to manufacturing operations, packaging operations should
also have to follow certain precaution to get a good quality product
at the end. Following are some of the critical points, which should
be remembered while carrying out the packaging operations.
 Avoid risk of cross-contamination and mix-ups.
 All packaging equipment and lines must be cleaned before starting
a fresh packaging activity "Line-clearance" SOP should be followed
and records maintained.
 Each Packaging equipment and line should be identified by a
conspicuously fixed board, indicating minimum following
information e.g.
• Name of product
• Batch numbers
• Pack size
• Date of packing
22
Packaging operation
 Printing on labels, cartons, coated tablet, etc. should be
carefully planned and activities clearly segregated to avoid
mix-ups.
 On line verification of all labels by automated electronic beam
can be helpful in preventing mix-ups, provided that such
equipment are used correctly.
 Empty packet detections system in tab/cap. should be used.
 Printed and embossed information on packaging materials
should be distinct and resistant to fading or erasing.
Laminated cartons or labels should have non laminated
window space for over printing the batch details or suitable
fast drying inks should be used.
23
Packaging operation
On line packaging checks should be carried out at least
for the following things :
• General appearance of the package.
• Completeness of package e.g. if a carton has to
contain bottle, measuring cup, literature etc. then
all such components of the pack should be
present.
• Correctness of pack and packaging materials.
• Correctness of over printed details.
• Correct version of printed packaging material is
being used.
• Weight check of carton and shipper may be useful.
24
Packaging operation
 Products which are involved in an unusual event during
packaging operations, should be fully investigated, records
made and only when the authorized person is fully satisfied
about its inclusion, then only such products may be packed.
An additional vigilance by Q.A. department on such batch
will be advisable.
 Any significant or unusual discrepancy observed during
reconciliation of the quantity of bulk product and printed
packaging materials and the number of units produced
should be investigated and satisfactorily accounted for,
before release.
 Upon completion of a packaging operation, any unused
batch coded packaging materials should be destroyed and
the destruction recorded. A documented procedure should
be followed if un-coded printed materials are returned to
stores. 25
Release of Finished Product
Releasing of finishing Product is the last activity in
the manufacturing and packaging operations at the
factory. Once the finished product is released then it
can move into the commerce freely. Hence, this is
very important activity and should be carried out
with most care.
26
Release of Finished Product
While doing these following points should be considered.
1. Finished products must be placed in quarantine in such a
way that these cannot be removed for use until such time
these are released.
2. Samples of the product taken at intervals during the
packaging process must be retained for examination by the
quality control laboratory and for retention purposes.
3. Documentation should be reconciled, completed/ and sent
for a complete documentation audit by quality assurance.
4. When all required parameters are satisfied, including the
document audit, Q. C. may recommend release of the
product from its quarantine status.
5. The finished product should be released for sale by the
authorized person from QA department. 27
SOP on Releasing of Finished Product
SOP on Releasing of Finished Product should address the following
points:
 Who is the authority to release the batch? He may be:
1. A authorized person as per regulatory requirement,
2. QA head
3. Any other person suitably authorized for this person.
 Before releasing the finished product at least following point should
be considered
1. A completed BPCR
2. Test report of IPQC
3. Test report of Analysis
4. Deviation Reports if any
5. Sterility reports
28
Process deviation
 Process deviations can be defined as variation, in the
production or any other process, from the pre-defined
procedure.
 Such deviations (drifting from the standard procedures)
may adversely affect the desired quality of the
pharmaceutical product and hence such deviations should
be generally avoided and if exceptionally required, then
such deviations must be justified and properly authorized
and recorded.
 If a particular type of deviation is occurring frequently then
such deviation must be fully investigated and if required
this may be permanently changed through a change control
procedure.
29
Process deviation
• The main purpose of written manufacturing
procedures is to built the desired quality into the
prod0uct, that means to assure that the drug products
have the identity, strength, safety and purity they
represent to have. So any deviation from these
procedure can be easily identified and recorded after
authorization.
• The identified control process should be followed and
documented and any deviation from this will be
justified and corrected and steps taken to avoid change
the procedure to authorized change control procedure.
30
Types of Process deviation
1)Planned Deviation : Planned deviations, which are
described, and pre-approved deviation from the
current operational document/system, covering a
specified period of time or number of batches. Planned
deviation shall be approved before execution
2)Unplanned Deviation: Unplanned deviations also called
as incident. It is defined as unplanned or uncontrolled
event in the form of non-compliance from the
designed systems or procedures at any stage of
manufacturing, packaging, testing, holding and storage
of drug product due to system failure or equipment
breakdown or manual error.
31
WHY INVEISTIGATE DEVIATION?
To prevent reoccurrence
Failures are cost to company
Failures can have adverse health impact on the
consumers if go undetected
To identify the cause and take corrective actions
To identify other similar situations and take preventive
actions
Continuous improvement
Regulatory requirement

Drug Product Inspection
An activity of measuring, examining, testing one or
more characteristics of a product and comparing the
results with specified requirements in order to
establish conformity for each characteristic
• Objective
1. To enforce Good Manufacturing practices in
pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
2. To authorize the manufacturing of specific
pharmaceutical product
3. To monitor the quality of pharmaceutical products in
distribution channels from point of manufacturing to
delivery of recipient.
34
Drug Product Inspection
As described in 21 CFR PART 211
• Packaged and labeled products shall be examined
during finishing operations to provide assurance
that containers and packages in the lot have the
correct label.
• A representative sample of units shall be
collected at the completion of finishing
operations and shall be visually examined for
correct labeling.
• Results of these examinations shall be recorded
in the batch production or control records.
35
Method of
Inspection

inspection
36
Frequency & duration of inspections
• For all companies inspection should be carried
out regularly(annually)
• For large companies marketing wide range of
products inspection may be split into several
visits over a longer period.
• The length of inspection depends on size of
company & purpose of visit. It may also
depend on no of inspectors. It may extend
from days to weeks.
37
Expiration Dating
 The responsibility of the pharmaceutical manufacturer is
that the drug product should have the stated potency and
therapeutic effectiveness till the end of the shelf life of the
product This shelf life should be based on the stability
studies data of the product concerned.
 For this purpose a detailed SOP on carrying out drug
stability studies is required. The data so obtained should be
used to establish the shelf life of each product; before it
goes into the market.
 The expiration dates shall be related to any storage
conditions stated on the labelling as determined by stability
studies carried out.
38
Factors affecting stability of drugs
A • Moisture, hydrolysis and pH
B • Oxygen and Oxidation
C • Light
D • Temperature
E • Microbes
39
Expiration Dating
 If the drug product is to be reconstituted at the time of
dispensing, its labelling shall bear expiration information
for both the reconstituted and un-constituted drug
products e.g. in case of dry syrup preparations. Some eye
drops are also labelled as how long they can be used after
opening the bottle pack. This is in addition to the expiry
product of unopened containers.
 Both the above or the final expiry date whichever is
applicable, should be printed on the label and/or carton or
any appropriate primary packaging material.
40
Calculation of Yield
 The actual yield and percentage of theoretical yield shall be
determined at the conclusion of each appropriate phase of
manufacturing, processing, packaging or holding of the
drug product. Such calculations shall be performed by one
person and independently verified by a second person".
CFR-211-103.
 To meet these requirements each critical stage of the
manufacturing process should be identified and theoretical
yield at the end of that stage should be established. The
actual yield at the end of the stages should be calculated,
recorded in B.P.C.R. and compared Any abnormal deviation
should be recorded and investigated to find out the
reasons.
41
For the common formulations such
critical stages are as follows
Tablet

42
Calculation of Yield
Theoretical yield
An amount of product calculated from the complete
reaction of the limiting reagent is called theoretical
yield.
Actual yield
The amount of product obtained when the reaction
takes place.
Percent yield
The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield.
percent yield = actual yield (g) x 100
theoretical yield (g)
43
Change Control
• Change Control is the process of handling proposed
alterations to items that have been previously designated
as fixed, and the procedure that controls change is called
change control.
• Changes refers to any modification in equipment,
manufacturing materials, facilities, utilities, design,
formulations, processes, packaging, labeling, computer
system and all associated documentation.
• According to WHO, "Change control is a formal system by
which qualified reprenstatives of appropriate disciplines
reviews proposed or actual changes that might effect a
validated status. The intent is to determine the need for
the action that would ensure that the system is maintained
in a validated state.
44
Change control is a procedure that ensures changes are
implemented in a controlled and coordinated manner.
The change control program evaluate all changes that
could affect the production and control of the drug
product, intermediate or API. It is the most critical
element in the overall quality management of
pharmaceutical industry.
A change control system provides checks and balances
in the quality system by tracking, reviewing and
approving the changes. In adequate change control
procedures ends up in regulatory non compliance

Returned drug products
Returned drug products shall be identified as such and held. If
the conditions under which returned drug products have been
held, stored, or shipped before or during their return, or if the
condition of the drug product, its container, carton, or
labeling, as a result of storage or shipping, casts doubt on the
safety, identity, strength, quality or purity of the drug product,
the returned drug product shall be destroyed unless
examination, testing, or other investigations prove the drug
product meets appropriate standards of safety, identity,
strength, quality, or purity.
52
Returned drug products
• A drug product may be reprocessed provided the
subsequent drug product meets appropriate standards,
specifications, and characteristics. Records of returned
drug products shall be maintained and shall include the
name and label potency of the drug product dosage
form, lot number (or control number or batch
number), reason for the return, quantity returned, date
of disposition, and ultimate disposition of the returned
drug product.
• If the reason for a drug product being returned
implicates associated batches, an appropriate
investigation shall be conducted in accordance with the
requirements. Procedures for the holding, testing, and
reprocessing of returned drug products shall be in
writing and shall be followed.
53
Reprocessing
 “Reprocessing is the treatment of a batch or sub-batch of
materials of unacceptable quality by repeating the same
process steps from a defined stage of production so that its
quality may be made acceptable.”
 “NOTE: The occasional repeating of one or more process steps
during manufacture after it was known that the pre-set limits
had not been met, or there was an unexpected process
problem, is an acceptable part of the process and a rational
reaction to the results obtained.”
54
According to ICH Q7 Guideline
• Introducing an intermediate or API, including one that does not
conform to standards or specifications, back into the process and
reprocessing by repeating a crystallization step or other appropriate
chemical or physical manipulation steps (e.g., distillation, filtration,
chromatography, milling) that are part of the established
manufacturing process is generally considered acceptable.
However, if such reprocessing is used for a majority of batches, such
reprocessing should be included as part of the standard
manufacturing process.
• Continuation of a process step after an in-process control test has
shown that the step is incomplete is considered to be part of the
normal process. This is not considered to be reprocessing.
• Introducing unreacted material back into a process and repeating a
chemical reaction is considered to be reprocessing unless it is part
of the established process. Such reprocessing should be preceded
by careful evaluation to ensure that the quality of the intermediate
or API is not adversely impacted due to the potential formation of
by-products and over-reacted materials. 55
Drug product salvaging
• Drug products that have been subjected to improper storage
conditions including extremes in temperature, humidity,
smoke, fumes, pressure, age, or radiation due to natural
disasters, fires, accidents, or equipment failures shall not be
salvaged and returned to the marketplace.
56
Drug product salvaging
• Whenever there is a question whether drug products have been
subjected to such conditions, salvaging operations may be
conducted only if there is
(a) evidence from laboratory tests and assays (including animal
feeding studies where applicable) that the drug products meet
all applicable standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity.
(b) evidence from inspection of the premises that the drug
products and their associated packaging were not subjected to
improper storage conditions as a result of the disaster or
accident.
• Organoleptic examinations shall be acceptable only as
supplemental evidence that the drug products meet appropriate
standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity. Records
including name, lot number, and disposition shall be maintained
for drug products subject to this section. 57
Handling of waste and scrap
• Objective
Handling of rejects from production assumes great
significance in the pharmaceutical industry, since the use of
incorrect destruction procedures have serious adverse
consequences for the manufacturing unit, particularly if
such material finds its way into the wrong hands, therefore,
it is of utmost importance that the inherent dangers of
mishandling of rejects/scraps is understood by all the
persons concerned with production operations.

Manufacturing operation and control

  • 1. MANUFACTURING OPERATION AND CONTROL SEMINAR PRESENTATION Prepared by: Malay Pandya M.Pharm. Semester 1 [PQA] Graduate School of Pharmacy- GTU Guided by: Dr. Kashyap Thummar 1
  • 2. Introduction Good Manufacturing Practice, which are currently acceptable should be followed during carrying out all manufacturing operation and their control. Four Keys Identity Strength Safety Purity 2
  • 4. SOP 1. To define the detergent and its concentration, 2. The frequency of cleaning, 3. The method of cleaning and 4. The person responsible for doing and supervising the job • All such activities must be supervised by the housekeeping supervisor. Sanitation of Manufacturing Premises 4
  • 6. Mix-Up and Source of Contamination • In pharmaceutical manufacturing, mix ups and contamination poses a big danger and hence necessary precaution and measure should be taken to avoid the same. • Mix ups can be defined as presence of undesired materials into desirable materials, which can generally be visibly seen, e.g. 1. Cartons of one product into another. 2. Tablets of one product with another product which have similar size, shapes or color etc. 6
  • 7. Causes that may give rise to a mix-up  The close proximity or location of similar items  Items having the same colour or combination of colours  Multiple products handled at the same time/packaging  Use of the same apparatus or equipment for multiple products  Improper storage of sterile and non-sterile products  Care not being taken during packaging and/or repackaging of products  Mistakes made when dispensing  Unused labels or earlier production left in the production area  Improper documentation and labeling  No ID code on materials or products 7
  • 8. Causes that may give rise to a mix-up  Inadequate training of personnel  Failure of the processing equipment  Manual packaging and repacking  Inadequate control or procedures  Improper affixing of labels  Vendor’s Location, for example the printer may be located some distance from the PC or device that sends the output to the printer. The wrong person may mistakenly use the wrong printout e.g., for labels.  Improper or lack of proper communication  Same personnel handling two machines or equipment at the same time 8
  • 9. Mix-Up and Source of Contamination • Contamination is also presence of some material where it is not desired. However this may not always be visibly seen, e.g. fine dust of one product into another product; fine black particles of dust into processing materials etc. • Cross Contamination: Contamination of a starting material, intermediate product or finished product with another starting material or a product during production. • Contamination of products can be caused by:  Contaminated clothing  Contaminated equipment  Contaminated or faulty HVAC system  People, e.g., carrying harmful bacteria  Contaminated Premises  Processing Operations  Utilities/Services 9
  • 10. Controlling of Contamination and Mix-Up • Exhaust system with proper air filtration and dust collection should be placed where heavy dust is generated. Collected dust should be disposed off by suitable method. • Separate air handling unit should be provided for each work station activities so that a closed circuit air system along with proper air filtration will be operating. This will avoid particulate contamination from one possessing area to another. • Depending upon the nature of the products being handled different rooms should be maintained at different air pressure. Generally more clean area should be maintained at high air pressure, so that less clean air will not enter the cleaner area. Doors of the rooms should open in the high air pressure area, so that they always remain close. This is in addition to provision of door closures. 10
  • 11. Controlling of Contamination and Mix-Up • Packaging lines in the central packaging areas should be well segregated. A partition of at least 1.2 to 1.5 meters is recommended in two adjacent packaging lines. This avoids accidental mix-ups of materials from two adjacent lines. • Trained people : In Pharma processing the people should be trained in their jobs and also in the principles of cGMP. • Following the correct and disciplined procedures and good manufacturing practices help in avoiding cross- contamination and mix-ups. 11
  • 12. Controlling of Contamination and Mix-Up Cross contamination should be avoided by appropriate technical or organizational measures e.g.  Production in segregated areas (which may be required for products such as penicillin, live vaccines, live bacterial preparations and certain other biological), or by campaign (separation in time) followed by appropriate cleaning.  Providing appropriate airlocks, pressure differentials and air extraction. Minimizing the risk of contamination caused by recirculation or re-entry of untreated or insufficiently treated air.  Wearing protective clothing in areas where products with special risk of cross- contamination are processed.  Using cleaning and decontamination procedures of known effectiveness, as ineffective cleaning of equipment is a common source of cross contamination.  Using a “closed system" for material handling and production  Testing of residues on equipments and areas.  Using cleanliness status on equipment. 12
  • 13. Starting from the receipt of raw materials till these materials are converted into bulk goods ready for packaging into their primary and then finished packs, certain points are required to be kept in mind so that the identity, strength, safety and purity of product is maintained. Following are some of these paints:  Before starting any processing, the materials received from the stores should be checked for the identity and quantity. This verification can be done against the labels on their containers and by actually weighing or measuring the quantity of materials.  Process area and equipment must be clean and no traces of previous product should be there.  Environmental conditions must meet the processing requirements e.g. temperature, relative humidity, pressure gradient, class of air, lighting etc, such observations should be recorded in BPCR and other relevant registers etc. Processing and intermediate and bulk products 13
  • 14. Processing and intermediate and bulk products  All primary containers used for filling of finished products should be clean to the acceptable level of cleanliness. Bulk containers used for storage of in-process materials should also be thoroughly cleaned before use.  Yield of materials at all critical stages of operations should be checked e.g. granulation, compression, filling operations of capsules, liquid bottles etc. and compared against theoretical yields expected, any abnormal deviations must be investigated and corrective actions taken. 14
  • 15. Processing and intermediate and bulk products All measuring, weighing, recording and controlling equipment and instrument should be calibrated regularly so that they always remain in a state of calibration. Records of such calibrations should be maintained. Repairs and maintenance operations should not present any hazard to the quality of the products. All IPQC checks should be carried out is to be recorded and investigated. Access to production areas should be restricted only to authorized persons. 15
  • 16. IPQC in Manufacturing and Packaging • Standard operating procedures should be available and followed for in-process quality control activity during manufacturing and packaging activities. • Critical steps should be identified in each formulation process and specifications defined for the parameters to be tested at such stages. 16
  • 17. Friabilator Dissolution test apparatus Digital pH meter Moisture analyzer Disintegration Test apparatus Hardness tester Quality Control Equipments 17
  • 18. IPQC test for various dosage form Tablets: A • Drug contents determination B • Moisture contents of granules. C • Assay of active ingredients. D • Weight variation of uncoated tablets E • Hardness test. F • Disintegration test 18
  • 19. IPQC test for various dosage form Syrup and Suspension : A • Drug contents determination B • Assay of active ingredients C • pH D • Weight per mL E • Particle size 19
  • 20. IPQC test for various dosage form Semi-solid: A • Drug contents determination B • Assay of active ingredients C • Uniformity and homogeneity test D • Viscosity and specific gravity test 20
  • 21. IPQC test for various dosage form Parenteral: A • Drug contents determination B • Clarity Test C • pH D • Pyrogen Test E • Leakage test 21
  • 22. Packaging operation Similar to manufacturing operations, packaging operations should also have to follow certain precaution to get a good quality product at the end. Following are some of the critical points, which should be remembered while carrying out the packaging operations.  Avoid risk of cross-contamination and mix-ups.  All packaging equipment and lines must be cleaned before starting a fresh packaging activity "Line-clearance" SOP should be followed and records maintained.  Each Packaging equipment and line should be identified by a conspicuously fixed board, indicating minimum following information e.g. • Name of product • Batch numbers • Pack size • Date of packing 22
  • 23. Packaging operation  Printing on labels, cartons, coated tablet, etc. should be carefully planned and activities clearly segregated to avoid mix-ups.  On line verification of all labels by automated electronic beam can be helpful in preventing mix-ups, provided that such equipment are used correctly.  Empty packet detections system in tab/cap. should be used.  Printed and embossed information on packaging materials should be distinct and resistant to fading or erasing. Laminated cartons or labels should have non laminated window space for over printing the batch details or suitable fast drying inks should be used. 23
  • 24. Packaging operation On line packaging checks should be carried out at least for the following things : • General appearance of the package. • Completeness of package e.g. if a carton has to contain bottle, measuring cup, literature etc. then all such components of the pack should be present. • Correctness of pack and packaging materials. • Correctness of over printed details. • Correct version of printed packaging material is being used. • Weight check of carton and shipper may be useful. 24
  • 25. Packaging operation  Products which are involved in an unusual event during packaging operations, should be fully investigated, records made and only when the authorized person is fully satisfied about its inclusion, then only such products may be packed. An additional vigilance by Q.A. department on such batch will be advisable.  Any significant or unusual discrepancy observed during reconciliation of the quantity of bulk product and printed packaging materials and the number of units produced should be investigated and satisfactorily accounted for, before release.  Upon completion of a packaging operation, any unused batch coded packaging materials should be destroyed and the destruction recorded. A documented procedure should be followed if un-coded printed materials are returned to stores. 25
  • 26. Release of Finished Product Releasing of finishing Product is the last activity in the manufacturing and packaging operations at the factory. Once the finished product is released then it can move into the commerce freely. Hence, this is very important activity and should be carried out with most care. 26
  • 27. Release of Finished Product While doing these following points should be considered. 1. Finished products must be placed in quarantine in such a way that these cannot be removed for use until such time these are released. 2. Samples of the product taken at intervals during the packaging process must be retained for examination by the quality control laboratory and for retention purposes. 3. Documentation should be reconciled, completed/ and sent for a complete documentation audit by quality assurance. 4. When all required parameters are satisfied, including the document audit, Q. C. may recommend release of the product from its quarantine status. 5. The finished product should be released for sale by the authorized person from QA department. 27
  • 28. SOP on Releasing of Finished Product SOP on Releasing of Finished Product should address the following points:  Who is the authority to release the batch? He may be: 1. A authorized person as per regulatory requirement, 2. QA head 3. Any other person suitably authorized for this person.  Before releasing the finished product at least following point should be considered 1. A completed BPCR 2. Test report of IPQC 3. Test report of Analysis 4. Deviation Reports if any 5. Sterility reports 28
  • 29. Process deviation  Process deviations can be defined as variation, in the production or any other process, from the pre-defined procedure.  Such deviations (drifting from the standard procedures) may adversely affect the desired quality of the pharmaceutical product and hence such deviations should be generally avoided and if exceptionally required, then such deviations must be justified and properly authorized and recorded.  If a particular type of deviation is occurring frequently then such deviation must be fully investigated and if required this may be permanently changed through a change control procedure. 29
  • 30. Process deviation • The main purpose of written manufacturing procedures is to built the desired quality into the prod0uct, that means to assure that the drug products have the identity, strength, safety and purity they represent to have. So any deviation from these procedure can be easily identified and recorded after authorization. • The identified control process should be followed and documented and any deviation from this will be justified and corrected and steps taken to avoid change the procedure to authorized change control procedure. 30
  • 31. Types of Process deviation 1)Planned Deviation : Planned deviations, which are described, and pre-approved deviation from the current operational document/system, covering a specified period of time or number of batches. Planned deviation shall be approved before execution 2)Unplanned Deviation: Unplanned deviations also called as incident. It is defined as unplanned or uncontrolled event in the form of non-compliance from the designed systems or procedures at any stage of manufacturing, packaging, testing, holding and storage of drug product due to system failure or equipment breakdown or manual error. 31
  • 32. WHY INVEISTIGATE DEVIATION? To prevent reoccurrence Failures are cost to company Failures can have adverse health impact on the consumers if go undetected To identify the cause and take corrective actions To identify other similar situations and take preventive actions Continuous improvement Regulatory requirement 32
  • 33. Basic Process Flow for Deviation Handling 33
  • 34. Drug Product Inspection An activity of measuring, examining, testing one or more characteristics of a product and comparing the results with specified requirements in order to establish conformity for each characteristic • Objective 1. To enforce Good Manufacturing practices in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. 2. To authorize the manufacturing of specific pharmaceutical product 3. To monitor the quality of pharmaceutical products in distribution channels from point of manufacturing to delivery of recipient. 34
  • 35. Drug Product Inspection As described in 21 CFR PART 211 • Packaged and labeled products shall be examined during finishing operations to provide assurance that containers and packages in the lot have the correct label. • A representative sample of units shall be collected at the completion of finishing operations and shall be visually examined for correct labeling. • Results of these examinations shall be recorded in the batch production or control records. 35
  • 37. Frequency & duration of inspections • For all companies inspection should be carried out regularly(annually) • For large companies marketing wide range of products inspection may be split into several visits over a longer period. • The length of inspection depends on size of company & purpose of visit. It may also depend on no of inspectors. It may extend from days to weeks. 37
  • 38. Expiration Dating  The responsibility of the pharmaceutical manufacturer is that the drug product should have the stated potency and therapeutic effectiveness till the end of the shelf life of the product This shelf life should be based on the stability studies data of the product concerned.  For this purpose a detailed SOP on carrying out drug stability studies is required. The data so obtained should be used to establish the shelf life of each product; before it goes into the market.  The expiration dates shall be related to any storage conditions stated on the labelling as determined by stability studies carried out. 38
  • 39. Factors affecting stability of drugs A • Moisture, hydrolysis and pH B • Oxygen and Oxidation C • Light D • Temperature E • Microbes 39
  • 40. Expiration Dating  If the drug product is to be reconstituted at the time of dispensing, its labelling shall bear expiration information for both the reconstituted and un-constituted drug products e.g. in case of dry syrup preparations. Some eye drops are also labelled as how long they can be used after opening the bottle pack. This is in addition to the expiry product of unopened containers.  Both the above or the final expiry date whichever is applicable, should be printed on the label and/or carton or any appropriate primary packaging material. 40
  • 41. Calculation of Yield  The actual yield and percentage of theoretical yield shall be determined at the conclusion of each appropriate phase of manufacturing, processing, packaging or holding of the drug product. Such calculations shall be performed by one person and independently verified by a second person". CFR-211-103.  To meet these requirements each critical stage of the manufacturing process should be identified and theoretical yield at the end of that stage should be established. The actual yield at the end of the stages should be calculated, recorded in B.P.C.R. and compared Any abnormal deviation should be recorded and investigated to find out the reasons. 41
  • 42. For the common formulations such critical stages are as follows Tablet Granula tion Compress -ion Coat- ing Packing Capsule Mixing FillingPacking Liquid orals Filtra- tion FillingPacking 42
  • 43. Calculation of Yield Theoretical yield An amount of product calculated from the complete reaction of the limiting reagent is called theoretical yield. Actual yield The amount of product obtained when the reaction takes place. Percent yield The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield. percent yield = actual yield (g) x 100 theoretical yield (g) 43
  • 44. Change Control • Change Control is the process of handling proposed alterations to items that have been previously designated as fixed, and the procedure that controls change is called change control. • Changes refers to any modification in equipment, manufacturing materials, facilities, utilities, design, formulations, processes, packaging, labeling, computer system and all associated documentation. • According to WHO, "Change control is a formal system by which qualified reprenstatives of appropriate disciplines reviews proposed or actual changes that might effect a validated status. The intent is to determine the need for the action that would ensure that the system is maintained in a validated state. 44
  • 45. Change control is a procedure that ensures changes are implemented in a controlled and coordinated manner. The change control program evaluate all changes that could affect the production and control of the drug product, intermediate or API. It is the most critical element in the overall quality management of pharmaceutical industry. A change control system provides checks and balances in the quality system by tracking, reviewing and approving the changes. In adequate change control procedures ends up in regulatory non compliance Change Control 45

  • 51. 51
  • 52. Returned drug products Returned drug products shall be identified as such and held. If the conditions under which returned drug products have been held, stored, or shipped before or during their return, or if the condition of the drug product, its container, carton, or labeling, as a result of storage or shipping, casts doubt on the safety, identity, strength, quality or purity of the drug product, the returned drug product shall be destroyed unless examination, testing, or other investigations prove the drug product meets appropriate standards of safety, identity, strength, quality, or purity. 52
  • 53. Returned drug products • A drug product may be reprocessed provided the subsequent drug product meets appropriate standards, specifications, and characteristics. Records of returned drug products shall be maintained and shall include the name and label potency of the drug product dosage form, lot number (or control number or batch number), reason for the return, quantity returned, date of disposition, and ultimate disposition of the returned drug product. • If the reason for a drug product being returned implicates associated batches, an appropriate investigation shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements. Procedures for the holding, testing, and reprocessing of returned drug products shall be in writing and shall be followed. 53
  • 54. Reprocessing  “Reprocessing is the treatment of a batch or sub-batch of materials of unacceptable quality by repeating the same process steps from a defined stage of production so that its quality may be made acceptable.”  “NOTE: The occasional repeating of one or more process steps during manufacture after it was known that the pre-set limits had not been met, or there was an unexpected process problem, is an acceptable part of the process and a rational reaction to the results obtained.” 54
  • 55. According to ICH Q7 Guideline • Introducing an intermediate or API, including one that does not conform to standards or specifications, back into the process and reprocessing by repeating a crystallization step or other appropriate chemical or physical manipulation steps (e.g., distillation, filtration, chromatography, milling) that are part of the established manufacturing process is generally considered acceptable. However, if such reprocessing is used for a majority of batches, such reprocessing should be included as part of the standard manufacturing process. • Continuation of a process step after an in-process control test has shown that the step is incomplete is considered to be part of the normal process. This is not considered to be reprocessing. • Introducing unreacted material back into a process and repeating a chemical reaction is considered to be reprocessing unless it is part of the established process. Such reprocessing should be preceded by careful evaluation to ensure that the quality of the intermediate or API is not adversely impacted due to the potential formation of by-products and over-reacted materials. 55
  • 56. Drug product salvaging • Drug products that have been subjected to improper storage conditions including extremes in temperature, humidity, smoke, fumes, pressure, age, or radiation due to natural disasters, fires, accidents, or equipment failures shall not be salvaged and returned to the marketplace. 56
  • 57. Drug product salvaging • Whenever there is a question whether drug products have been subjected to such conditions, salvaging operations may be conducted only if there is (a) evidence from laboratory tests and assays (including animal feeding studies where applicable) that the drug products meet all applicable standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity. (b) evidence from inspection of the premises that the drug products and their associated packaging were not subjected to improper storage conditions as a result of the disaster or accident. • Organoleptic examinations shall be acceptable only as supplemental evidence that the drug products meet appropriate standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity. Records including name, lot number, and disposition shall be maintained for drug products subject to this section. 57
  • 58. Handling of waste and scrap • Objective Handling of rejects from production assumes great significance in the pharmaceutical industry, since the use of incorrect destruction procedures have serious adverse consequences for the manufacturing unit, particularly if such material finds its way into the wrong hands, therefore, it is of utmost importance that the inherent dangers of mishandling of rejects/scraps is understood by all the persons concerned with production operations. • Scope This part provides an overview regarding the generation of rejects/scrap, its collection and accounting, and recommends guidelines for dealing with rejects/scrap and their disposal. 58
