IN-PROCESS CONTROLS:

The following in-process controls should be maintained during the processing:

  1. Check Raw materials used for manufacturing purpose are all approved materials and have ‘Released’ labels fixed on it.
  2. All weighed Raw materials should be counter-checked by Assistant Manufacturing Chemist. If any discrepancy is noticed, it should be immediately brought to the notice of Production Pharmacist and QC/QA Manager.
  3. Physical characteristics of Raw material like colour, odour, and consistency are checked before compounding.
  4. Humidity and temperature should be maintained during the manufacturing, filling, polishing and packaging of the capsules.
  • Relative Humidity –   Less than 45 %
  • Temperature –   25 0C ± 2 0C
  1. The total weight of blended powder should be checked in the presence of Assistant Manufacturing Chemist and record the same in Batch Manufacturing Record.
  2. Bulk sample should be sent for analysis to Quality Control Department before starting the filling of hard gelatin capsules.
  3. Intermittently the Assistant Manufacturing Chemist should check weight variation of filled capsules at interval of 30 minutes and record for the same should be kept in Batch Manufacturing Record.
  4. Detect out of limit capsules by Weight Variation Method as follows:
  5. a) Take the average weight of 20 Capsules on the calibrated balance and calculate the upper and lower limit as per the table given below in accordance with IP/BP:

 

AVERAGE WEIGHT OF CAPSULES
(in mg)		 MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE                                                                      ALLOWED
Less than 300 mg 10
300 mg or More 7.5

 

  • b) Take the weight of individual Capsules and check if all the Capsules are lying with in the limits.
  • c) Select the Capsules only if no more than two Capsules are out of percentage limit and if none Capsule differs by more than 2.5 times the percentage limit, otherwise reject the Capsules.
  • Capsules taken for testing and In-process control should not be added to the bulk batch to avoid mix-ups and cross-contamination.
  • Inspection, sorting and polishing of filled capsules should be done as per SOP NO. SOP/NB/007/PG/II.
  • Disintegration of filled capsules should be done using Disintegration Testing Apparatus.
  • i) Disintegration is the time required for the group of capsules to disintegrate. Disintegration Test should be carried out at regular interval of 1 hour by using Disintegration Test Apparatus.
  • ii) The tube assembly unit is removed from the glass beaker and from each tube the plastic discs are removed.
  • iii) Place the capsules in each of 6 tubes along with a plastic disc over the capsules.
  • iv) The glass beaker is filled with water. The water in the beaker is retained at the temperature of 37+1˚C through out the test by suitably setting the thermostat.
  • v) Introduce a tube assembly unit into glass beaker in such a way that wire mesh at the base of each tube is atleast 2.5cm below the surface of liquid when the basket is at highest position.
  • vi) Switch on the apparatus to move the basket assembly containing the capsules up and down through a distance of 5 to 6 cm at a frequency of 28 to 32 cycles per minute. Start the stopwatch.
  • vii) When the capsules have disintegrated i.e. when no particles remain on the wire mesh at the bottom of tube, stop the stopwatch. Note the time taken for disintegration of the capsules and record the same in Batch Manufacturing Record.
        Disintegration Time of filled capsules = Not more than 15                 minutes
  • The strips and cartons should be checked thoroughly for proper batch coding.
  • Assistant Manufacturing Chemist and Production Pharmacist should randomly check that the correct no. of strips are being packed in each cartons and also the number of cartons in each shipper is exactly the samthat shown in proof.
  • Intimation should be sent to Quality Control Department for finished product sampling and testing.
  • After the completion of labelling and packaging, the coded cartons should be accounted for and rejected printed material should be destroyed in the presence of QC/QA Manager. Fill the destruction sheet and attach
  • the same in the Batch Manufacturing Record.
  • It will be ensure that filling or packaging equipment has been properly cleaned after the completion of batch.
  • Filling or packaging of next product should not commence until the Quality Control Analyst has given the ‘Line Clearance’.
