CLEANING VALIDATION THE


DEFINITION
The process of removing contaminants
from process equipment and monitoring
the condition of equipment such that the
equipment can be safely used for
subsequent product manufacturing.

CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Solubility :
Solubility involves the dissolution of one
chemical (the contaminant) in a liquid solvent.
For example, salts may be soluble in water, and
certain organic actives may be soluble in acetone
or methanol.
One of the primary cleaning mechanisms to
be considered during design phase.
Rate of solubility, Insoluble form, Soluble
Insoluble species

Quality Assurance

CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Wetting :
Wetting involves the displacement of one fluid from
a solid surface by another fluid. Wetting can be
improved by the addition of surfactants.
It improve penetration of the cleaning solution
into cracks and crevices, which are usually
difficult-to clean locations.

Manufacturing, D. A. LeBlanc

Quality Assurance

CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Emulsification :
Breaking up an insoluble liquid residue into smaller
droplets and then suspending those droplets
throughout the water.
Emulsion = Mechanical energy + Surfactants /
Polymers.
Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable (say, 5
to 10 mins.).
Redeposition of the cleaned residue back onto the
equipment surfaces.
Agitation should be continued till the time to
7
discharge the cleaning solution to the drain.
Quality Assurance

CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Dispersion :
Dispersion is similar to emulsification, except that it
involves the wetting and deaggregation of solid
particles and then the subsequent suspension of those
particles in water.
More important in dry product manufacturing.
Hydrolysis :
This involves the cleavage of certain bonds in an
organic molecule.
The resultant hydrolyzed residues must either
be water soluble or solubilized at the pH of the
8
cleaning solution.
Quality Assurance

CLEANING VALIDATIONCLEANING
MECHANISMS
Oxidation :
This involves the cleavage of various organic
bonds, such as carbon-carbon bonds, by the action
of a strong oxidizing agent.
Large Non-polar Mol.
Smaller more
polar Mol.
Antimicrobial Action :
Mechanisms that may kill organisms but leave
behind nonviable microbial residues.
Special type of mechanism, sterilization,
disinfection.

GROUPING STRATEGIES
"Grouping" is the concept of demonstrating that
certain elements of cleaning are of a similar type,
and selecting one (or more) representative
object(s) on which to conduct the Cleaning
Validation (Cleaning Process Qualification).
Product grouping :

Same manufacturing equipments being used.


Same cleaning SOPs being followed.
Similar formulations.

CLEANING VALIDATION..WORST CASE


CONSIDERATIONS
Once the product groups have been established,
the next step is to determine the so-called worst
case representative of each group.
It is that member(s) who shows the highest
challenge on cleaning program.
Worst case product
: Toxicity / solubility /
highly characterized / difficult to
clean ingredients.
Worst case eq. train
: Longest train.
Worst case equipment : Larger size equipment
(identical design).
Worst case acc. criteria: Stringent acceptance

CLEANING VALIDATION..WORST CASE


CONSIDERATIONS
There is no hard & fast rule on worst case
selection.
A good logic and science should always be
used.
Grouping and worst case selection help to
demonstrate cleaning method robustness.
It smartly reduces the load from cleaning
validation program.
These philosophies should always be verified
against the actual capability of cleaning
program.

Rinse sampling techniques:
Rinse sampling involves using a liquid to cover the
surfaces to be sampled.
(1)One of the easy and widely used sampling
method.
(2)Most preferable liquid for rinsing is water.
(3)The rinse volume is an important factor that
has to be determined.
Rinse volume (1/Residue conc. in

(4) Forced rinsing is advisable for collection of5

less soluble residues.

Quality Assurance

VALIDATION......SAMPLING
METHODS
Determination rinse volume:
(1)Variability in magnitudes of surface areas gives
rise of variable residue concentrations in rinse
samples (fixed rinse volume).
(2)Variable acceptance criteria for a single
product creates confusion.
(3)It is a good idea to chose variable rinse
volumes to keep constant residue concentration
in rinse samples (fixed acceptance criteria).

Specific vs non-specific methods:
(1)A non-specific assay may detect a variety of
residues.
(2)A specific assay may quantify any anticipated

(3)It is essential to correlate the results from a
specific method to the results from other nonspecific methods that might be used for routine
monitoring of cleaning effectiveness.

ANALYTICAL METHODS
The analytical method used for evaluation of
cleaning sample is different that used for
product assay.
If the target limit in the analytical sample were
5.2 g / mL, and a method was only able to
detect down to 7.0 g / mL, that method would
not be useful for cleaning validation purposes.
The target value should be within the linearity
range of the specific method.
What if the calculated acceptance value is
less than the detectable level of an
analytical method?
