Pharmaceutical manufacturing overview Flashcards
The entire manufacturing process is governed by
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
catastrophic for products
cross-contamination, adulteration, and
mislabeling
Some areas that can influence the safety and quality of products that GMP guidelines and regulations address are the following
- Quality management
- Sanitation and hygiene
- Building and facilities
- Equipment
- Raw materials
- Personnel
- Validation and qualification
- Complaints
- Documentation and recordkeeping
- Inspections & quality audits
COMPONENTS OF GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE
5 P’s
PEOPLE PRODUCT PROCESSES PROCEDURES PREMISES
Such substances are intended to furnish pharmacological activity or other direct effects in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease or to affect the structure and function of the body
ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENT (API)
An enclosed space with two or more doors interposed between two or more rooms, e.g. of differing classes of cleanliness, controls the airflow between those rooms when they need to be entered.
AIRLOCK
designed for people or goods and equipment use
AIRLOCK
The person recognized by the national regulatory authority as responsible for ensuring that each batch of the finished product has been manufactured, tested and approved for release in compliance with the laws and regulations in force in that country
AUTHORIZED PERSON
A defined quantity of starting material, packaging material, or product processed in a single process or series of processes so that it is expected to be homogeneous
BATCH (OR LOT)
A distinctive combination of numbers and letters uniquely identifies a batch on the labels, its batch records and corresponding certificates of analysis, etc.
BATCH NUMBER (OR LOT NUMBER)
All documents are associated with manufacturing a batch of bulk or finished products. They provide a history of each batch of products and all circumstances pertinent to the quality of the final product.
BATCH RECORDS
Any product that has completed all processing stages up to, but not including, final packaging.
BULK PRODUCT
Under specified conditions, the set of operations establishes the relationship between values indicated by an instrument or system for measuring (especially weighing), recording, and controlling, or the values represented by a material measure, and the corresponding known values of a reference standard.
Limits for acceptance of the results of measuring should be established
CALIBRATION
An area with defined environmental control of particulate and microbial contamination is constructed and used in such a way as to reduce the introduction, generation, and retention of contaminants within the area.
CLEAN AREA
The number of pharmaceuticals made by one manufacturer and supplied at once in response to a particular request or order. may comprise one or more packages or containers and may include material belonging to more than one batch
CONSIGNMENT (OR DELIVERY
The undesired introduction of impurities of a chemical or microbiological nature, or foreign matter, into or onto a starting material or intermediate during production, sampling, packaging or repackaging, storage or transport
CONTAMINATION
An operation in the manufacturing process may cause variation in the quality of the pharmaceutical product
CRITICAL OPERATION.
Contamination of a starting material, intermediate product or finished product with another starting material or product during production.
CROSS-CONTAMINATION
A finished dosage form has undergone all stages of manufacture, including the packaging in its final container and labelling
FINISHED PRODUCT
Checks are performed during production to monitor and, if necessary, adjust the process to ensure that the product conforms to its specifications
- control of the environment or equipment
IN-PROCESS CONTROL
The partly processed product must undergo further manufacturing before it becomes a bulk product
INTERMEDIATE PRODUCT
Sterile solutions are intended for parenteral
application with 100 ml or more volume in one container of the finished dosage form
LARGE-VOLUME PARENTERAL
All operations of purchase of materials and products, production, quality control (QC), release, storage and distribution of pharmaceutical products, and the related controls.
