Performance Qualification (PQ) Protocol & Report Format In Pharmaceuticals.

Performance Qualification (PQ) Protocol & Report

Format In Pharmaceuticals.

Performance Qualification In Pharmaceutical Industry.

Systems and equipment should consistently perform in accordance with

design specifications. The performance should be verified in accordance with a

performance qualification protocol.

There should be documented records for the verification of performance

(performance qualification report) to indicate the satisfactory performance over

a period of time. Manufacturers should justify the selected period over which

performance qualification is done.

QA Approval by ______________________________________________ Date ____________

Objective:-

To determine that the systems/equipment perform as intended by repeatedly running

the system on its intended schedules and recording all relevant information and data.
Results must demonstrate that performance consistently meets predetermined
specifications under normal conditions, and where appropriate for worst case
situations.

Scope:-

To be performed after the Installation and Operational Qualification have been

completed and approved.

To be performed after installation, modification or relocation and for re-validation at

appropriate intervals.

Each piece of equipment must be validated before it serves another piece of

equipment/ system during validation of the latter (e.g. water system before steam
generator; steam generator before autoclave).

Responsibility:-

Person responsible for operating the system or equipment will perform the
qualification and record the information.

The supervisor will supervise the study, verify the completion of the records and write
the Deviation Report and the Performance Qualification Report.

Qualify Assurance will review and approve the Performance Qualification Protocol and
Report.

Materials, Equipment, Documents:-

SOPs for normal operations of the equipment or system under test (including data
record forms, charts, diagrams materials and equipment needed). Attach copies.

SOP list:-

SOPs specific for performance tests (including data record forms, charts, diagrams,
materials and equipment needed, calculations and statistical analyses to be performed,
and pre-determined specifications and acceptance criteria). Attach copies.

SOP list:

Procedure:-

Equipment: Run normal procedure three times for each use (configuration or load) and
record all required data and any deviations to the procedure.

Systems: Run for 20 consecutive working days, recording all required data and any
deviations to the procedure. Prepare the Summary Data Record Form(Chart 1).

Evaluation:-

Attach all completed, signed data record forms.

Complete the Summary Data Record Form (Chart 1).
Perform all required calculations and statistical analyses (Chart 2).
Compare to acceptance criteria (Chart 3).
Prepare Deviation Report including the justification of acceptance and impact
on the performance.
Prepare a Performance Qualification Report: This should include: date study
initiated; date completed; observations made; problems encountered;
completeness of information collected; summary of deviation report; results of
any tests; do results meet acceptance criteria; location of original data; other
information relevant to the study; and conclusions on the validity of the
equipment/system.
Submit Performance Qualification Document to QA for review and approval.
