Study Notes
Documentation in Quality Assurance Systems
- Documentation is crucial for ensuring data availability for manufacturing, packaging, quality control, and batch history.
- Documentation reduces risks associated with verbal communication.
- Key documentation requirements:
- Specifications: Outline quality requirements for starting materials, packaging materials, and products. Include storage, stability, and handling information.
-
Prescriptions and Instructions:
- Include batch-wise instructions for manufacturing and packaging procedures.
- Provide detailed instructions for testing procedures (chemical, microbiological).
- Offer guidance for non-product-related operations like cleaning, disinfection, equipment maintenance, working condition monitoring, and use of specific dressings.
-
Records:
- Capture batch manufacturing and packaging records.
- Document test records, including recorded data.
- Maintain records for non-product-related operations.
-
Important Aspects of Documentation:
- Each operation should have written instructions, authorized by competent personnel.
- Every operation should be recorded and initialized by the worker or supervisor.
- Any deviation should be signed by the department head.
- Reconciliation: Theoretical yield should be mentioned in prescriptions, enabling comparison with actual yield for immediate deviation identification.
- Batch Comparison: Regular comparison of yield and quality with previous batches helps detect quality decreases before reaching unacceptable limits.
- Human Factor: Documentation addresses the potential for worker attention to decrease during routine tasks.
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Guidelines
- Provide comprehensive details on drafting, authorization, and filing of documentation.
