Complete Autoclave and Depyrogenation Support | Autoclave Validation and Requalification

 

We perform autoclave validation and autoclave requalification to HTM 2010, EN 285, EN 554, PDA Monograph and ISO standards.  This validation work is often performed to tight timescales fitting in with production requirements and autoclave availability.

We aim to reduce both the time and the cost by:

  • Individually developed, application specific protocols

  • Work scheduling to meet production needs

  • Prompt delivery of reports and raw data

We can provide a range of services from delivering a full validation package, including the development of procedures, protocols and related documentation to simple implementation of existing client procedures.

Typically, our service will involve on and off-site work, regular performance reviews and on-going support for Continuous Compliance Assurance which ensures the sterilisation process is in a continual state of inspection readiness.

Our lifecycle validation service includes:

  • URS and VMP development

  • DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ

  • On-going monitoring (CCA)

  • Validation review

  • Re-validation

  • Change control

We ensure quality throughout the work by strict adherence to procedures and protocols and by deploying highly trained and competent staff.

Our autoclave validation and requalification services have been carried out on Getinge/SEC, Fedegari, Steris/Finn-Aqua, SAL, De-Lama, ICOS, Huber, British Steriliser and many other autoclave manufacturers.

Cycle Development for Porous and Fluids Load Autoclaves

Cycle development delivers the most efficient, robust cycle for production availability, regulatory compliance and reduced re-qualification effort in the future.  Cycle development, done properly, saves time and money during PQ and ongoing production:

  • Porous Load Equilibration time requirements met

  • Load Dryness for Aseptic Processing

  • The most efficient overall cycle time delivered

  • Fluids loads optimised based upon bioburden data

Specific HTM 2010 and EN285 Benchmark Testing performed as part of OQ testing

Our in-depth understanding of the HTM 2010 and EN285 standards ensures delivery of compliance and reliability in the future.

  • Air detector setup and performance testing

  • Bowie and Dick small load pack testing

  • Load Dryness tests

Control System Validation, Supplier Auditing and Validation Files

  • Application of GAMP 4 requirements to Autoclave Control Systems

  • 21CFR part 11 compliance for autoclave cycle data and validation data

  • KAYE Validator 2000 equipment used as standard

  • Control System audits and upgrades

PQ Testing

Proper cycle development will deliver efficient PQ with fewer failures and more robust results
