When and Why Do We Need a Qualified PAT System? E D

an instrument performs

suitably for its intended purpose and is a perquisite for method validation

The «Classical» Approach ED
RV
Reference:
SE
E
 FDA guidance for Industry on Process Validation (January 2011)

R
 ISPE Baseline Pharmaceutical Engineering Guide, volume 5

T S
• Qualification is the demonstration of suitability for intended use which has
been formally documented and approved by the Quality Unit
H
I G
• Commissioning is a well planned, documented and managed engineering
approach following Good Engineering Practice (GEP)
R
L L
• Equipment qualification and method/process validation are decoupled

Why Is the Qualification of a Pat System Not That E D
Straight Forward? R V
S E
It is neither fish nor fowlR
E
T S
H
I G and a manufacturing equipment
• It is a hybrid between an analytical instrument
• It is a mixture between COTS (spectrometer)R and custom-built elements
(automation, probes)
L L
• PAT systems are not dedicated forAone specific process

Why to Bother about Qualification? ED
RV
SE
• It is a costly and long process, whereas the cost can exceed the spectrometer
price by a multiple
RE
T S
• The value of the qualification exercise in comparison to the method
development/validation is limited and very much compliant driven
H
G
• There are more complex systems (Pharma 4.0/AI/CM) to come in the future which
I
all will requite a sound qualification process

Consequently, there is a strong interest for a more lean and cost-effective
qualification process

Qualification of Analytical Equipment E D

• ‘Worst case’ PAT hardware qualification, but also data frequency, integration

• Qualification of many functions/complexitiesTwhich do not apply

• More importantly only qualifies a ‘snapGshot’ (set of frozen capabilities) of
time of qualification R I
L L
• There is no verification if that functionality has changed
