I am in desperate need of an example of a process val protocol and example... I saw the example in the GHTF link, which is a great start, but can anyone help with more? I am fine on IQ/OQ but the PQ is tough for me.... thanks, my friends:thanx:

My company is a contract manufacturer for medical devices. Mainly they are CNC operations and passivation. I have just started, so my knowledge of their processes are a trifle limited. Any examples are appreciated.

Hi MBeth - I also work for a medical device contract manufacturer (forging, casting, machining & sub-contracted cleaning / sterilisation)
OQ we challenge worst case parameters, but for PQ we normally launch 3 batches of the largest & 3 batches of the smallest products in the range (batch sizes to reflect normal production), ensure they are processed on different shifts (or a day apart from each other) with normal production controls etc. This tests repeatability in the normal production enviroment & repeatability between operators as well.
Hope this helps....

Sure, it is a current one I am drafting - I've cleaned it up a bit & removed any sensitive info, but I think you can get the gist...
Let us know if there's anything you don't understand.

Just as a side- don't forget about FDA's 21 CFR 820.250 & ISO 13485 8.1, 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.5 statistical technique sections. The old "3 batch" rule no longer applies- unless one can prove so scientifically.

ISO 11135-1:2007 still makes references to 3 runs during validation activities.
