One of the goals of the cleaning validation design phase is to define critical process parameters (inputs) and acceptance criteria (outputs) of the cleaning process. This article explores the selection of a master soil as part of the cleaning validation design phase for automated parts washers. The...
For a multiproduct facility where equipment is shared, there is always a risk from cross-contamination. The correct calculation of the cleaning validation limits from maximum allowable carryover (MACO) of a marker compound to the next product is vital for the integrity and success of the cleaning...

BACKGROUND
Since the initial discussions on Cleaning Validation in the early 1990’s and even after the FDA Guidance was published in 1993, there has been a lot of confusion related to the application of the Cleaning Validation (CV) requirements in our...
It is a common practice in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries to execute a factory acceptance test (FAT) for equipment involved with various drug manufacturing processes. The FAT is a project milestone in purchasing good manufacturing practice–compliant equipment.
What is cleaning validation and where does it fall in the life cycle validation scheme? How can an automated washing system be validated? This article provides insights that may help answer these questions.
In recent years we have observed misunderstanding and confusion over correlation between the 2004 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) environmental cleanliness requirements for sterile product manufacture 1 and those of the European Medicines Agency...
