Validation of Cleaning Processes

(7/93)
GUIDE TO INSPECTIONS VALIDATION OF CLEANING PROCESSES
III. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

FDA expects firms to have written procedures (SOP's) detailing the cleaning
processes used for various pieces of equipment. If firms have one cleaning
process for cleaning between different batches of the same product and use a
different process for cleaning between product changes, we expect the written
procedures to address these different scenario. Similarly, if firms have one
process for removing water soluble residues and another process for non-water
soluble residues, the written procedure should address both scenarios and
make it clear when a given procedure is to be followed.

La FDA espera que las empresas tengan procedimientos escritos (SOP´s)


detallando los procesos usados para varias piezas del equipo. Si las empresas
tienen un proceso para limpiar entre diferentes lotes del mismo producto
y usa un proceso diferente para limpiar entre cambios de producto,
esperamos que los procedimientos escritos hagan frente a esos
escenarios diferentes. Del mismo modo, si las empresas tienen un proceso
para remover residuos solubles en agua y otro proceso para residuos no
solubles en agua, los procedimientos escritos deben enfrentar ambos
escenarios y dejar claro cuando debe seguirse un procedimiento dado.

outside of vessels, and some intermediate steps.

limpiezas no críticas tales como entre lotes del mismo producto (o
diferentes lotes del mismo intermedio en procesos a granel), pisos,

4.0 Validation of Cleaning Processes


4.9 During a campaign (production of several batches of the same product),
cleaning between batches may be reduced. The number of lots of the
same product which could be manufactured before a complete/ full
cleaning is done should be determined.
4.9 Durante una campaña (producción de varios lotes del mismo producto),
la limpieza entre lotes puede ser reducida. Se debe determinar el
número de lotes del mismo producto los cuales pueden ser
manufacturados antes de que se realice una limpieza completa.
