What is Validation?
The QA of any preparation activity is reliant on the satisfactory validation of the procedures
Validation should demonstrate that the overall process will reproducibly provide a product that complies with its specification
![Page 3: Microbiological Validation Mark Oldcorne Wrexham Maelor Hospital](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/5517e526550346cb568b46b3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is validation? Action of proving, in accordance
with the principles of GMP, that any procedure, process, equipment, material, activity or system leads to the expected results
Action of proving (and documenting) that something ‘works’

Microbiological ValidationGeneral Considerations 1 Biological systems
biological variability imprecision of methods low levels of contamination
Stressed / damaged organisms
![Page 10: Microbiological Validation Mark Oldcorne Wrexham Maelor Hospital](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/5517e526550346cb568b46b3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Microbiological ValidationGeneral Considerations 2
Growth requirements of organisms require universal growth media TSA + Sabs Dex
Sequential temperature monitoring vs use of multiple media

Sterility Testing Ideal test? - product Test lacks sensitivity Retest only available under certain
conditions Prospective vs retrospective Appropriate levels of control SAL of testing process
![Page 25: Microbiological Validation Mark Oldcorne Wrexham Maelor Hospital](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/5517e526550346cb568b46b3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Broth Transfer Testing 1 Process transfer tests
worst case scenario >batch size x3 initially 6 monthly repeat
Operator transfer tests Universal Broth Transfer Test Adapted operator tests or process tests
![Page 26: Microbiological Validation Mark Oldcorne Wrexham Maelor Hospital](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/5517e526550346cb568b46b3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Broth Transfer Tests 2
Ideal test? - QA of process
Statistical considerations to reach AQL
1 in 1000
or 1 in 10,000
Frequency?
Sensitivity - do we challenge the test?
![Page 27: Microbiological Validation Mark Oldcorne Wrexham Maelor Hospital](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/5517e526550346cb568b46b3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conclusions Microbiological validation indicates
personnel involvement All microbiological validation
methods have limitations Microbiological validation methods
cannot be used in isolation and should be used holistically to gain a true picture of product assurance
![Page 28: Microbiological Validation Mark Oldcorne Wrexham Maelor Hospital](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/5517e526550346cb568b46b3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The future Where does the validation cult go?
Next stage is validating the validation
Next stage to that is validating the validation of the primary validation and so on……….
