A. Preliminary Conditions:
    Validation studies should be conducted according to an validation protocol,
    The equipment must be cleaned in accordance with an approved cleaning procedure.
    The over all cleanliness of the equipment must be verified by visual inspection prior to sampling.
B. Sampling and Sampling method:
Trained persons should perform sampling. Only that part of equipment, which comes into contact with
the product, should be considered. Following methods are used for sampling.
Swab Sampling:
     This method combines a through contact between swab and sampling surface with the
       advantage of a defined sampling areas. It is possible to use potent solvents for recovery of
       residues.
     The samples may be taken from a part of an object with or without template or from the entire
       surface of an object
     The solvent used for wetting the swab must be of analytical quality with an optimum stability
       and solubility for the active substance.
     To obtain reproducible analytical result the swab must be moistened with a specified quantity
       of solvent.

                                                                                                                                  Page 3 of 20
                                                                  ANNEXURE IX
       The swab should be specified size and made a suitable material that will not interfere with the
        analytical methodology.
Rinse sampling:
    Ultrasonic extraction with solvent or solution is the recommended method for complex or
       inaccessible equipment parts when ever applicable. Several objects may be sampled together.
    Sampling the final cleaning rinse should only be used for inaccessible areas.
C. Analytical Testing:
    The analytical method used must be validated and shown to be specific for the analytical
     substances.
    The sensitivity of the analytical method must be sufficient to ascertain quantities of residues
     within the acceptance criteria.
D. Acceptance Criteria:
    The cleaning procedure should be considered effective if
    The measured or calculated concentration is less than 1/ 10,000 of the toxicological
     insignificant exposure level (TIEL) or lowest therapeutically daily dose per piece of
     equipment.
    The calculated cross-contaminated is not more than 1/ 1000 of the lowest therapeutic dose for
     the equipment chain including packaging.
    The calculated cross-contamination is not more than 10ppm if any product must appear in the
     product to follow.
    If the action limited is exceed (contamination > 1/ 10000) the cleaning result is not acceptable.
    A cleaning procedure is successfully validated if the action limit is not acceded three times
     with the same product, on the same type of equipment and with the same cleaning procedure.
E. Calculation of highest acceptable residue:
R       =            D X S X 106
                     I X 10, 000
        R            =       mg of the total residue of active to be cleaned permitted.
        D            =       Lowest therapeutic dose of product to be cleaned in mg.
        S            =       Lowest batch size of product to follow in Kg.
