Get Media Fill Ppt

According to FDA's principles, the frequency of media fills should be fixed in relation to the shifts on the basis of a risk assessment. In traditional aseptic filling, one media fill per shift per half year is expected. On a line with 2 shifts, this requires at least 4 media fill runs.

A media fill (sometimes known as a process simulation) is the performance of an aseptic manufacturing procedure using a sterile microbiological growth medium in place of the drug solution. ... Aseptic process simulation is a method to determine if a purportedly aseptic process really is aseptic.

A media fill is the performance of an aseptic manufacturing procedure using a sterile microbiological growth medium, in place of the drug solution, to test whether the aseptic procedures are adequate to prevent contamination during actual drug production.

This process of validation also known as a media fill validation, normally includes exposing the microbiological growth medium to product contact surface of equipment, container closure system, and critical environments to closely simulate the same exposure that the product itself will undergo at the time of processing ...

Media fill tests are critical microbiological tests carried out to simulate the normal manufacturing conditions by replacing the pharmaceutical product with culture media. ... The patented color indicator was selected as it showed to be a broad indicator of microbiological growth.

For small batches, the number of containers for media fills should at least equal the size of the product batch. The target should be zero growth and the following should apply: When filling fewer than 5000 units, no contaminated units should be detected.

The media fill should evaluate the aseptic assembly and operation of the critical (sterile) equipment, qualify the operators and assess their technique, and demonstrate that the environmental controls are adequate to meet the basic requirements necessary to produce a sterile drug by aseptic processing.

17 The media fill activity shall be performed with frequent interventions, which we come across during routine production to simulate actual condition. 7.10. 18 The vials filled during each intervention shall be collected in tray. ... Transfer the vials at 30-35°C for another 7 days.
