MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
Preparation of Solution:
Take in SS Batch Mixing Tank 60 Lt. of freshly prepared hot distilled water.
Dissolve Methyl Paraben & Propyl Paraben to Batch Mixing Tank Stir it properly till mix.
Dissolve EDTA SMBS and stir properly.
Add Tri sodium citrate and stir it properly.
Dissolve Amikacin Sulphate.
Adjust the pH to 4.5 (pH range: 3.5 to 5.5)
Make up the volume to 100.00 liter
Final pH = 4.5
Shift the solution from batch mixing tank to pressure vessel and do membrane
Filtration by using the appropriate membrane.
Washing
Washing of vials
Vial washing is done with auto rotary vial washing M/c as per sop.
Washing of Butyl Bungs
Butyl Bungs washing is done with Butyl Bungs Washing as per sop.
Sterilization
Dry Heat Sterilization (Vials)
Dry Heat Sterilization is done with the help of Dry heat Sterilizer at the following conditions as per sop.
| 1 | Temperature | 250°C |
| 2 | Holding Time | 1 hour |
Moist Heat Sterilization (Butyl Bungs)
Moist heat sterilization for butyl bungs is done with the help of Autoclave with SS Transfer Trolley at following conditions as per sop
| A | Pressure | 15 lbs |
| B | Temperature | 121° C |
| C | Holding Time | 30 Minutes |
Filtration
Filtration is done with the membrane assembly by using the appropriate membrane & pre filter and post filter
| A | Pre Filter | 1.5 µ |
| B | Membrane Filter | 0.2 µ |
Aseptic Filing
After the process of washing, sterilization filtration filing of Aseptic filing is carried out in class 100 area under the laminar flow. The machine adjustment is carried out for the appropriate vials as per SOP.
| A | Filling M/C Adjustment |
| B | Butyl Bung Station Adjustment |
| C | Sealing Station Adjustment |
Volume variation is checked intermittently, volume prescribed 2.ml and volume filled 2.0 ml, percentage variation 2%.
Visual Inspection
Visual inspection is carried out for filled vials by using vial visual inspection table M/c as per SOP.
Labeling
Labeling of vials is done with the help of auto vials labeling machine as per sop

IN-PROCESS CONTROLS:-
THE following in process controls should be maintained during the processing
Check raw material used for manufacturing purpose are all approved materials and have ‘released’ Labels fixed on it.
All weighed Raw materials should be counter-checked by Manufacturing Chemist. If any discrepancy is noticed, it should be immediately brought to the notice of Production Manager and QC/QA Manager.
Physical characteristics of Raw material like colour, odour and consistency are checked before compounding.
Final volume should be made as per Standard Operating Procedure.
pH of the bulk should be checked and it should be with in specified limits.
Bulk sample should be sent for analysis to Q.C. Department before starting the filling and sealing stage.
Intermittently filled volume should be checked at 30 minutes interval by the Manufacturing Chemist and record for the same should be kept in Batch Manufacturing Record.
The net volume should be checked for all the filling nozzles and in no case net volume should be less than the volume claimed on the label. (Limit for volume variation: volume claimed + 2%.
Visual inspection of filled and sealed vials should be done as per SOP and the record of the same should be kept in B.M.R.
The labels and cartons should be checked thoroughly for proper batch coding.
Intimation should be sent to Q.C. Department for finished product sampling and testing.
After the completion of labeling and packaging the coded labels and cartons should be accounted for and rejected printed material should be destroyed in the presence of QC/QA Manager. Maintain the destruction of the same in the B.M.R.
It will be ensure that filling or packing equipment has been properly cleaned.
Filling or packaging of next product should not commence until the the ‘Line Clearance’ has been given by the Q.A. Analyst.
