Cleaning validation is an integral part of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. A piece of equipment itself can contaminate the product if it is not cleaned properly. Improperly cleaned manufacturing equipment is a major source of cross-contamination. Regulatory agencies are more concerned about the cross-contamination of penicillin with non-penicillin products.

Basics of Cleaning Validation
Cleaning of pharmaceutical instruments after a product has been manufactured is critical to ensure that the subsequent products to be manufactured are not contaminated. The removal of the residues of the previous products from manufacturing equipment is known as cleaning. If the whole process of cleaning has been documented, it is referred to as cleaning method validation.
Criteria to Choose the Correct Swab for Cleaning Validation
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the product must not be contaminated by previous product as well as it should not be contaminated with the cleaning agent used for equipment cleaning.
NOEL and MACO Calculations in Cleaning Validation
NOEL is “No Observed Effect Level” of any pharmaceutical drug. It is determined
to calculate the MACO (Maximum Allowable Carry Over) in cleaning validation. NOEL
is the amount of drug in mg that does not have any effect on the human health.
Sampling in Cleaning Validation in Pharmaceutical Industry
Sampling in cleaning validation in the pharmaceutical industry has been a topic of ever-increasing interest and scrutiny in recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspections. The validation of procedures used to clean the equipment employed during the various steps of a manufacturing process is a clear requirement of current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). Such as, FDA inspectors now expe…
Tips to Develop Equipment Cleaning Procedure
A well-developed cleaning method is a primary requirement for the cleaning validation. Cleaning procedure should be developed before starting the cleaning validation. Following things should be considered during development of good cleaning procedure.
Importance of Cleaning Validation in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a process that requires a high degree of cleanliness and accuracy in order to ensure the safety of the products. Clean validation is one part of this process that helps make sure the equipment and processes are kept clean and free from any contaminants.
Cleaning Method Validation Protocol for Pharmaceutical Equipments
Objective: The purpose of the study is to validate the analytical method for determination of traces of API contents in Swab & Rinse samples and to establish documented evidence and provide the procedure for the same.
