PART 1
There are two main categories of deviation
Planned Deviation:
Planned Deviation is any deviation from documented procedure opted deliberately for
temporary period to avoid unavoidable situation without affecting the quality and safety of
product/procedure.
Unplanned Deviation:
An unplanned deviation indicates a state of noncompliance from the designed systems or
procedures at any stage of manufacturing, packaging, testing, holding, or storage of drug
product.
PART 2
According to me four critical sections for creating a robust deviation policy is as below
EVENT SUMMERY
1. Who, what, when, where details should be mentioned.
2. only facts, data or observations prior to, during and/or after the event must be
cited, no assumptions.
3. Must be in mentioned in chronological order as much as possible
4. How that event was dealt at the time of incident must be written.
Materials/machine/personnel affected with their
root cause analysis
1. What type of machine or material are damaged or could have damaged must me
mentioned while drafting? Same thing for personnel who is directly or indirectly
related with process is either injured or not that risk must be addressed
2. Risks must be categorized as Incident, minor, major or critical with details about
it.
3. Root cause must be done by various methods like Isikawa method, fish bone
analysis, 5 Ys etc.
Impact assessment.
1. A clear description of the effect of the deviation event on product quality,
including all lots affected or potentially affected.
2. The assessment and resulting conclusions must be objective and scientific based.
