Cleaning validation is a procedure of establishing evidence that cleaning processes for manufacturing equipment prevents product contamination<\/i><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This process allows us to assure that a cleaning procedure removes residues of the active pharmaceutical ingredients of the transdermal product as well as other residues or contaminants from the equipment used for the manufacturing process.<\/p>

Residues shall be removed below a predetermined level in order to assure the quality of the next product on the manufacturing plan. Transdermal products can be contaminated by substances such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and contaminants associated with microbes, airborne materials such as dust and decomposition residues from API especially when using campaign manufacturing.<\/p>

The objective of cleaning validation is to prove that manufacturing equipment is consistently cleaned of substances and\/or contaminants residues to an acceptable level, to prevent possible contamination and also cross-contamination. Cleaning validation is the documented evidence that an approved cleaning procedure will provide a high degree of certainty suitable equipment for patch manufacturing.<\/p>

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS<\/b><\/h2>

The local regulations at Argentina, ANMAT 3827\/2018 \u201cGu\u00eda de Buenas Pr\u00e1cticas de Fabricaci\u00f3n para Elaboradores, Importadores\/Exportadores de Medicamentos de Uso Humano\u201d establishes the regulations and policies relating to pharmaceutical grade products distributed commercially within the country and it provinces:<\/p>

\u201cCleaning validation shall be executed with the aim of ensuring the effectiveness of any cleaning procedure used for the manufacturing equipment in contact with the product\u201d.<\/i><\/p>

\u201cSelection of residual levels shall be reasonably justified according materials used\u201d<\/i><\/p>

\u201cLevels shall be achievable and verifiable\u201d<\/i><\/p>

\u201cPeriods of time between use and cleaning, as well as between cleaning and use shall be validated\u201d<\/i><\/p>

CLEANING VALIDATION PROGRAM<\/b><\/h2>

Equipment cleaning validation may be performed concurrently with actual production steps during process development and manufacturing. The validation program should be continued through full-scale commercial production. A validation program should encompass at least three consecutive successful replicates to establish that cleaning procedures are reproducibly effective. If the equipment of the similar size, design and construction is cleaned by the same procedure, studies need not be conducted on each unit as long as a total of three successful replicates are done on similar pieces of equipment; this concept is known as equipment grouping.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>

ESTABLISHMENT OF LIMITS<\/b><\/h2>

The rationale for establishing limits for product residues should be supported and based on the materials involved and their therapeutic dose. The limits should be practical, achievable, and verifiable. The approach for setting limits can be:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
