Study Notes
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) - Utilities
- All utilities that could impact the quality of the finished product should be monitored and controlled to not exceed approved limits.
- Utilities include steam, gas, compressed air, heating, air ventilation, and steam.
- Adequate ventilation, air filtration, and exhaust systems should be provided to minimize risk factors of contamination and cross-contamination with microorganisms, dust, and humidity.
Water Quality and Treatment
- The type and quality of water depend on the type of medicinal product.
- Potable water is suitable for most cases.
- Microbial limits, ions, and endotoxins should be removed.
- Drinking water, treated water, and heating or cooling of water should meet at least WHO guidelines for drinking water.
- Treatment methods include filtration, ultrafiltration, deionization, reverse osmosis, and distillation.
- Potable water is treated to meet chemical and microbiological specifications (WHO).
Water Quality and Equipment Contact
- Water quality may be lower if it comes into direct contact with equipment, but it should not affect the finished product.
- Certain specifications apply if water comes into contact with equipment or materials.
