SOP for Operating Procedure of Water Bath

Standard operating procedure of water bath in microbiology laboratory.

1.0 OBJECTIVE

To lay down the procedure for operation of the water bath.

2.0 SCOPE

This procedure is applicable to the water bath, installed at Microbiology laboratory in QC.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 Doing: Technical Assistant

3.2 Checking: Executive/ Manager

4.0 ACCOUNTABILITY

Head of the Department

5.0 PROCEDURE

5.1 Ensure that the platform is dry.

5.2 Connect the power supply.

5.2 Ensure the water level in water bath. It should be sufficient to pour the heating element.

5.4 Switch “ON” the main power supply and instrument mains.

5.5 Temperature setting

Press SET key-ALI red LED becomes “ON”-lower display will show SP- Upper display of last stored value. The last digit will show blinking –Press UPkey to increase the value-After getting desired value .Press SHIFT key to shift the digit-Now 3rd digit will show blinking-Press UP key to get desiredvalue-proceed similarly for 2nd & 1st digit-Press ‘ENTER’ key to store the set value in memory –ALI RED LED becomes “OFF” and gradually temp.will show raise in upper display.

5.6 The temp. sensor will maintain the set temp. during use of water bath.

5.7 Switch “OFF” the instrument mains & main power supply after use.

Instructions:

Glowing of Red lamp indicate mains “ON” & Glowing of yellow lamp indicate heater “ON”

1. Always ensure platform & surrounding are dry.

2. Use only Purified water to fill water bath.

3. Always. Switch “OFF” the mains on completion of water bath use.

4. Do not disturb the capillary (Temp. Sensor) located near the heater.

Checklist for Audit in Sterile Area

Checklist for Audit in Sterile Area Checklist to verify the sterile manufacturing area before the audit. 1. Is there any SOP giving details for activity/ movement in the sterile area. 2. Verify the suitability of system for sanitization of hands. 3. Is there the SOP on entry-exit; gowning and de-gowning into the critical area available? 4. Verify the availability of following records: Air pressure differential Particulate monitoring Temperature Humidity Microbiological monitoring by settle plate 5. Are these records available and maintained as per SOPs? 6. Check the above mentioned individual records. Are the entries within specifications mentioned in SOP/ MTPs. 7. Is the controlled copy of MTP pertaining to monitoring by settle plate available to plant person? 8. Are the location for settle plates identified and the chart/ layout available with plant? 9. Are the following areas monitored for parameters mentioned in step 4: Air-lock to the critical ar...

Aseptic Filling Process (Media Fill) Validation Protocol in Sterile Pharmaceuticals

Aseptic Filling Process (Media Fill) Validation Protocol in Sterile Pharmaceuticals Validation of sterile manufacturing process by media fill validation test as per PICS guidelines for aseptic validation or aseptic process simulation. 1.0 OBJECTIVE 1.1 To define procedures for validating and maintaining the validation of all aseptic filling processes and qualification of the quality of the product by system/facility/equipment. 2.0 SCOPE 2.1 This procedure applies to all aseptically filled sterile products intended for human use. 3.0 RESPONSIBILITY 3.1 The Validation personnel coordinate the aseptic filling validation program and write the sterile media aseptic filling processes reports. 3.2 Manufacturing personnel the sterile media aseptic filling processes and performs the sterile media fills. 3.3 QA personnel perform the sampling and assist with the IPQA monitoring required for each sterile media fill. 3.4 QC personnel to perform the testing and assist with the monitoring required fo...

Blow Fill Seal (BFS) and Form Fill Seal (FFS) Technology in Sterile Manufacturing

Blow Fill Seal (BFS) and Form Fill Seal (FFS) Technology in Sterile Manufacturing Know about sterile pharmaceutical production using Blow Fill Seal (BFS) and Form Fill Seal (FFS) technology. Both of these techniques are used to manufacture sterile pharmaceutical products as parenteral (LVP & SVP), infusions, ophthalmic and inhalation products. These are automated techniques to prepare sterile products. The basic concept of the FFS and BFS is to reduce the contamination by forming the container, filling and sealing in a closed sterile chamber of the machine. There is no personnel intervention to reduce the chances of the contamination during the manufacturing of sterile products. It gives more production at very low operational cost with the high assurance of sterility . Blow fill seal technology is widely used and accepted by the various pharmaceutical regulatory authorities as US-FDA and MHRA. The system is being used for over 30 years a...
