24 FDA Guidance for Industry Process Validation: General Principles and Practices Process validation is defined as the collection and evaluation of data, from the process design stage throughout production, which establishes scientific evidence that a process is capable of consistently delivering quality products Process validation activities: Process Design: The commercial process is defined during this stage based on knowledge gained through development and scale-up activities Process Qualification: During this stage, the process design is confirmed as being capable of reproducible commercial manufacturing Continued Process Verification: Ongoing assurance is gained during routine production that the process remains in a state of control 24

25 Example of Process Validation Validation of change in sampling for bacterial and fungal cultures Current process is to draw 0.2ml of final product (post processing) and 2.8 ml of concurrent plasma. Then Bacterial and Fungal culture bottles are inoculated with 1.5ml of mixture in each bottle. We want to change this process to be able to test a representative specimen of the cryopreserved product by collecting 3.5 ml of freezing media (Plasma-Lyte A, concurrent plasma and DMSO) and mix with final product prior to inoculation of culture bottles. 25

26 Process Validation Validation Title: Validation of Sample to be Used for Microbial and Fungal Cultures Purpose of Validation: To determine if the addition of DMSO to the Microbial and Fungal Culture inhibits the growth of contaminants System Description: HPC, aphereis products are tested for microbial and fungal contamination. This process is used to determine if the HPC, apheresis product is contaminated during the cryopreservation process or apheresis process The cultures will grow under the proper conditions in the presence of 20% or 10% DMSO 26

27 Process Validation Validation Plan: List of SOPs, personnel, equipment and supplies to be used during validation Establish the number of test samples required: Three independent test runs are required to assure that the addition of DMSO to the Microbial and Fungal Cultures do not inhibit the growth. If the results of the three independent tests are identical then the results will be considered acceptable; if not then 2 more independent experiments will be performed 27

28 Process Validation Establish Testing Conditions: Preparation of the Inoculums (Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans) Dilute each culture to 0.5 O.D. Dilute the bacteria with sterile saline and the fungus with sterile water. This 0.5 dilution represents approximately 10 8 CFU/ml Dilute 1:100 to give 10 6 CFU/ml Dilute to 3 X 10 3 CFU/ml by adding 3ul of the 10 8 dilution to 1 ml of diluent Label 4 BACT Myco/F-Lytic and PEDS PLUS/F bottles with date, Experiment # and: 20%, 10%, No DMSO, Negative Control Collect 4 tubes of blood in ACD Spin 3 tubes at 3000RPM for 10 minutes 28

29 Process Validation Draw up 3ml of the remaining blood in 3cc syringe and inoculate the negative control bottles with 1.5ml of blood Take off 3ml of the remaining blood and place 1.5ml each into two sterile tubes Spike one tube with 75 CFU of Staphylococcus epidermidis (25ul of the 3 X 10 3 CFU/ml dilution of each organism) Spike the other tube with Candida albicans This result in a bottle being inoculated with 10 CFU of the appropriate organism 29

30 Process Validation Make up freezing media using supernatant plasma, plasma Lyte A and DMSO Prepare test samples for Bacteria and Fungal organism 20% DMSO Bacteria Test sample 10% DMSO Bacteria test Sample No DMSO Bacteria Test Sample Inoculate bottles with each sample (bacterial and fungal) 30

31 Process Validation Data to be Collected: reports of growth from both bacterial and fungal cultures Expected Results: The negative control will no grow any microbial or fungal culture The No DMSO control will grow both bacteria and fungus The 10% and 20% DMSO test samples will grow the bacteria and fungus the blood was inoculated with. 31

32 Process Validation Days to Grow th in Culture Days S. epidermidis C. albicans % 10% 20% DMSO Concentration 32

33 Process Validation Conditions Acceptance Criteria Experiment 1 Experiment 2 Experiment 3 10% DMSO Sample Bacterial Growth PASS PASS FAIL 20% DMSO Sample Bacterial Growth PASS PASS PASS No DMSO Sample Bacterial Growth PASS PASS FAIL Negative Control No Growth of Bacteria PASS PASS PASS 10% DMSO Sample Fungus Growth PASS PASS PASS 20% DMSO Sample Fungus Growth PASS PASS PASS No DMSO Sample Fungus Growth PASS PASS PASS Negative Control No Growth of Fungus PASS PASS PASS 33

34 Process Validation Acceptance Criteria: If the 20% DMSO is deemed acceptable then 20% DMSO will be added to the micro cultures mix with the product during future HPC processing Validation Data Evaluation and Determination of Acceptance: We have shown that the addition of 20% DMSO to the sample that is used for the inoculation of the microbiology culture bottles does not inhibit growth. Therefore is acceptable to add freeze media, containing DMSO, to the culture inocolum 34

35 Summary Perform validation according to Validation Plan Data/records evaluation and determination of acceptance must meet pre-determined test criteria Ensure new or revised SOPs, forms or labels are in place for use Ensure completion of training and competency records Ensure ongoing monitoring is in place 35
