Statistical Sampling
In packaging operations, to provide assurance that each package in the entire lot meets specifications, a pre-determined number of packages are examined at given time intervals throughout the packaging run for defects.
The type of defects that are categorized as minor, major, or critical are defined by the packager.
The total number of defects must be less than the limit as defined by ANSI/AQL Z1.4 (or similar system).

Calculation of Yields
112 kg
150 kg
150 kg
112 kg
156 kg
A Master Batch Record must include:
- The theoretical quantities expected at appropriate phases of processing
- The theoretical yield and expected yield range
An Executed Batch Record must include the actual yields
Overall Theoretical Yield: 156.0 kg (1,200,000 tablets)
Expected Yield: 137.3 – 148.2 kg
(1,068,000 – 1,140,000 tablets)
89 – 95%
Actual Yield: 140.1 kg = 91%

Higher than Expected Yield
Not necessarily a good thing.
Scenario: The weight of a batch of material removed from a reactor was
1.2 kg greater than the weight of materials charged.
Investigation:
- All charges were weighed by one person and witness by another.
- All plastic bags, flashlights, hatch bolts are accounted for
- The same scale was used for the charged materials as for the discharged material
- Analysis of the discharged material indicated the presence of an impurity that was identified as toluene, a material not used in the process.
Root Cause: Another unit in the plant had caused the vent header to pressure up, and allowed condensed toluene to back flow into the reactor.

Deviations
Deviation Investigation Reports are required whenever an action or a result is outside the established limits or expectations.
A DR includes:
- Description of the deviation
- Investigation into the root cause
- Corrective Action to current batch
- Preventive Action for future batches
- Evaluation - Effect of the deviation on the current, previous, or subsequent batches.
Deviations are NO FUN !
“CAPA”

Deviation Description
For example:
The final target temperature of the product during the granulation cooldown step (30±2°C) was not achieved after 16 hours of cooling. Normal cooldown time is approximately 6 hours.
The maximum allowable time for completion of this step is 18 hours.
*
Deviation Investigation
- The inlet air temperature was within the acceptable range of 15 to 25°C throughout the cooling step (see attached temperature chart).
- While attempting to verify the calibration of the thermocouples, it was noticed that the product thermocouple was coated with a hard layer of solids. This coating was insulating the thermocouple from reading the true temperature of the granulation mixture.
But you can’t stop there –
How did the thermocouple get coated?

- While attempting to verify the calibration of the thermocouples, it was noticed that the product thermocouple was coated with a hard layer of solids. This coating was insulating the thermocouple from reading the true temperature of the granulation mixture.
- The equipment file for Granulator EQ-14C shows that a new set of spray nozzles was installed just prior to the current batch. The new nozzles are identical to the ones that were installed previously (Replacement in Kind). The Work Order documenting the installation of the new nozzles does not include documentation of the spacing of the spray nozzles.
*
Deviation - Corrective Action
- The coating around the thermocouple was removed and the cooldown step was restarted.
- The temperature lined out at 28°C within 30 minutes.
- The granulation cooldown step was completed.
*
Deviation – Preventive Actions
The granulator thermocouple became coated with solids because the new spray nozzles were installed such that the left-most spray nozzle constantly wetted the thermocouple. As solids were fluidized, they stuck to the wet thermocouple and built up an insulating layer.
The Equipment Master File will be updated to specify the acceptable positions of the spray nozzles on the spray arm. The Master Batch Record will be revised to specify that the spacing of the nozzles be checked prior to use.
*
Deviation - Evaluation
- Effect on current batch: None. The final cooldown temperature of 28°C was within the acceptable range of 30±2°C, and the total cooldown time of 16 ½ hours was less than the maximum allowable time of 18 hours.
- Effect on previous batches: None. The new nozzles were installed just prior to the current batch.
- Effect on future batches: None. Corrective Action must be performed prior to next batch.
*
Laboratory Records
Laboratory records must include complete data derived from all tests necessary to assure compliance with established specifications and standards.
Each Lab Record must include all the information, data, calculations and results of the test.

Review & Disposition
- After a batch of drug has been produced, the batch record and all associated documentation is reviewed by the Quality Unit “to determine compliance with all established, approved written procedures”
- QA may designate the batch as:
- Alternately, they may quarantine a batch for reprocessing at a later date.
APPROVED
REJECTED
OR
QUARANTINE
*
Reprocessing
A product or intermediate may be reprocessed in certain circumstances.
Reprocessing procedure must be written, and executed as written.
Reprocessing must be approved by the Quality Unit.
Examples:
- Labels are smeared and illegible
- Purity specification was not met, but laboratory work has shown that recrystallization of the product will remove the impurity to an acceptable level
- The filter cloth tore during filtration, allowing solids to get into the filtrate
Reprocessing in normally initiated by a Deviation Investigation, otherwise the “reprocessing” steps should be incorporated into the MBR.

Annual Review of Records
- Evaluate each drug product manufactured
- Number and types of deviations
- Number of failed batches
- Trend in data
- Reasons for customer complaints,
recalls and returned goods
- Need to change specifications or production procedures?
- Need to train personnel?

Complaints, Recalls, & Returned Goods
Responsible officials of the firm, must be aware of all complaints, recalls, and returned goods.
Complaints – usually made by consumers directly to drug company. Any adverse experiences must be reported by the company to FDA.
Recalls – most are “voluntary”, when a serious problem is discovered by the drug company or identified by FDA during an inspection.
Returned Goods – quite often for damage to packaging (potential for contamination).
A company must maintain files of all the complaints, recalls and returned goods

Complaints, Recalls, & Returned Goods
Recall Classifications
- Class I: Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death. Examples include: food found to contain botulinum toxin, food with undeclared allergens, a label mix-up on a lifesaving drug, or a defective artificial heart valve.
- Class II: Products that might cause a temporary health problem, or pose only a slight threat of a serious nature. Example: a drug that is under-strength but that is not used to treat life-threatening situations.
- Class III: Products that are unlikely to cause any adverse health reaction, but that violate FDA labeling or manufacturing laws. Examples include: a minor container defect and lack of English labeling in a retail food
*
Distribution Records
- A company must keep accurate documentation of the distribution of their products
- Which product
- Which lot number
- To whom
- When
- An effective recall would be difficult without this information

Good manufacturing Practices
GMPs are not just a set of regulations
They are a philosophy / a way of life
A culture which is developed and nurtured over time
For example:
*
Consider this Scenario
Situation: An operator is about to charge a component into a reactor and notices that there is a stain at the bottom of the reactor.
What does he do?
His options:
Ignore it because management has been pushing to get the project back on schedule
Ignore it because his buddy was the one who cleaned it and he doesn’t want to get him in trouble.
Notify his supervisor and start an investigation
- Root Cause: the glass lining had cracked and the carbon steel shell had started to corrode. The rust would have contaminated the batch (putting the project very far behind schedule). The integrity of the reactor was compromised and could have resulted in catastrophic failure when pressurized.

He chose the latter option, luckily….
