Scope

Demonstrating consistent concentration in the finished product and delivery device.

Roles and prerequisites

Responsible pharmacist: approves implementation and release. Trained operator: performs and records work. Reviewer: verifies critical items. Specialist clinician/analytical partner: as specified.

Before implementation complete local document IDs, named roles, suitable equipment, specific specifications and acceptance criteria. Check the applicable framework in your country.

Procedure

  1. Define quality attributes: measured protein/analyte, uniformity, particles and the amount delivered by the dosing device.

  2. Design sampling at different vessel locations and beginning/middle/end of filling as justified by the study. Do not sample only the easiest location.

  3. Study settling and redispersibility after representative standing periods. Define shaking that a user can realistically perform.

  4. Assess delivered-volume accuracy, clogging, dead volume and adsorption in the chosen syringe/adapter. Do not assume all dosing devices are equivalent.

  5. Use analysis suitable for the final matrix and low concentrations. Record detection/quantification limits and uncertainty where critical.

  6. Compare results with predefined criteria. Check in-use behaviour and performance toward the proposed BUD.

Stop criterion

Failed uniformity, irreversible settling or unreliable dose delivery: no release.
