01Demands
What pharmaceutical asks of a line
Change control on validated lines
A change to a validated line is reviewed, tested and recorded before it goes into production.
A record of every step
Process records show what happened at each station, so every unit can be traced.
Hygienic handling
Equipment near the product has to be easy to clean and must not add contamination.
Inspection at the station
Checks happen where the product is handled, so a bad unit is caught before it moves on.
