2. DEFINITION
Cleaning validation – It is a documented evidence
which provides high degree of assurance that an
approved cleaning procedure will provide
equipment that is suitable for processing of
pharmaceutical products for API.

3. IMPORTANCE OF CLEANING VALIDATION
Cleaning validation is heart of pharmaceutical
activity .
Related to safety and purity of the product
Level of cleanliness is achieved by cleaning
procedure which depend upon its cleaning
validation method if performed confidently ,method
produces reproducible results .

Least soluble Most toxic
Highest
cocentration
Others
Subdivide it
Formulation Process
Selection of product
Low & high risk
drugs
Solid & liquid

12. EQUIPMENT GROUPING
Can implement C V procedure
Small scale Large scale
Subdivide into
Dedicated &
Non dedicated
Minor & Major
Noncritical &
Critical site
Non product &
product contact
Equipment train
:single &

12
14. PERSONNEL TRAINING
Why it is required ?
To understand selection of cleaning parameters
such as time , temperature , cleaning agent
concentration ,sheeting , rinsing .
To evaluate step for removal of residue by
following /understanding SOP’s
Therefore in cleaning validation this is also adds
the same value as other considerations 14
16. ULTRASONIC CLEANING
A process that uses
ultrasound(20-
400kHz)& appropriate
cleaning solvent or
water
Time require for
cleaning generally3-
6nmin & may exeed to
20 min depend upon
object to be clean.
Principle Image
16
17. ULTRASONIC CLEANING
Separates the liq and microscopic
void
Creates compression wave in liq
U.S.Waves fluid changing size &
Ultrasound generating transducer built
into chamber
In a ultrasound chamber
17
18. VAPOR DIGRESSING
Surface finishing
process .
Uses the solvent in the
form of vapor to clean
work piece.
Used where water
based cleaning is
impracticable .
After boiling of solvent
it enters the fill line &
uses spray technique
to clean eupment .
18
19. HOT WATER EXTRACTION
It is a typical
cleaning
method that
uses a
combination of
high water
pressure for
agitation, and
hot water to
increase
reaction rate.
surface is dried to avoid surface saturation
lower the pH of the fibers to a neutral state.
use an acetic acid solution
surface is thoroughly rinse out the preconditioner
light agitation with a grooming brush
preconditioning of the soiled surface with an alkaline agent
19
21. SWAB SAMPLING
The extract examined by a suitable analytical
method
By adding it to dilution solvent
The swab is extracted
A small area of the cleaned equipment is swabbed
21
22. SWAB SAMPLING
Dissolves & physically
remove sample
Adaptable to wide
variety of surfaces
May allow sampling of
defined area
Applicable to active ,
microbial & cleaning
agent residue
An invasive technique
that introduce fiber
Complex & hard to
reach complex areas
Advantages Disadvantages
22
23. RINSE SAMPLING
In rinse sampling API
equipment will be
cleaned by several
washing cycles (runs )
OR cycles/runs
Outline - amount of
residue remaining in the
equipment after cleaning
based on the amount of
residue in the last run of
the routinely used
cleaning procedure.
23
24. RINSE SAMPLING
Allow the sampling of
large surface area
Allow the sampling of
unique (porous)
surfaces
Applicable for actives
,cleaning agent &
exipients
Inability to detect
location of residue
Usually use for rinsing
an entire piece of
equipment
Excess of rinsing
sample is required
Advantages Disadvantages
24
26. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
Establishing acceptance limit
Samples should be practical , achievable ,and
verifiable
NMT 10ppm of any product will appear in other
product
NMT 0.1% therapeutic dose of any product will appear
in maximum daily dose of the following product
No quantity of residue should be visible on the
equipment after cleaning procedure are performed
26
27. REPORTS
A validation report is necessary to present the results &
conclusions with approval page duly signed off by
corresponding signatories depicting the approval of
validation study.
It should include :
• Summary of procedures used to clean , sample ,test
• Physical & analytical test results
• Conclusion regarding acceptability of results
• Recommendations based on result
• Review of protocol deviation
• Interim reports till complete study 27
28. DOCUMENTATION
The cleaning process should be documented n an SOP
Documentation should be in such a way that following
information is readily available:
The area or piece of equipment cleaning
The person who carried out the cleaning
When the cleaning was carried out
The SOP defining the cleaning process
The product which was previously processed on the
equipment being cleaned . 28
29. REVALIDATION
It is done if :
• Cleaning procedure is changed
• Raw material are changed
• Change in formulation
• New detergents
• Modification of equipment
To avoid this regular checking is done.
The production manager ,QC manager , QA manager &
whole validation team decide revalidation is necessary or not
.
29
30. CONCLUSION
Cleaning validation is heart of pharmaceutical
industry .
If the proper cleaning is not contamination may
occur in the product & whole process of formulation
hampered by this.
Whole team distribute their work for attending the
cleaning validation process to which QA officer
gives approval based on the overall documented
evidances.
