performance of the equipment
Critical gauges shall be replaced or corrected
At normal revalidation schedule.
Performance Qualification(PQ)
To check Heat Distribution by placing 10 thermocouples in geometric pattern with the FBD Shell
and empty Product Container without any load to ensure heat distribution in the drying chamber
Heat distribution study will be performed at 65 ± 5°C for two hour after achieving the temperature
on the controlling sensors to ensure proper heat distribution.
Procedure
After completion of OQ initiate the PQ of FBD.
The effectiveness of drying will be qualified by determining reduction of % moisture content in
drying process.
3 batches/ lots of any product will be taken for PQ of FBD.
At least 2.0 gm of sample is sampled for % MC check from the top, middle and bottom trays and will
be reported
In case of any deviation inform to department head for necessary action
Document the deviation details
Deviation is acceptable or not will be decided
-if yes -if not
Acceptance criteria
The reduction in moisture content after drying should be as per the specification in the BMR
% RSD of LOD should not be more than 6 %
The equipment should produce intended outputs with respect to quality & quantity consistently
Revalidation Criteria:
The equipment shall be revalidated if;
Location of the equipment is changed.
There is change of spare/ parts, major maintenance or breakdown that have a direct effect on the
performance of the equipment
At normal revalidation schedule.
Procedure for Drying Efficacy Study in Fluidized bed Dryer:
Ensure the cleaning of machine
Load the wet mass in the FBD product container
Set the process time & outlet temperature and run the FBD.
After completion of drying take out FBD bowl and collect the sample
At least 2.0 gm of sample is sampled for % MC check from the top, middle and bottom trays and will
be reported
Sampling Procedure:
Ware nose mask, hand gloves before sampling.
Label the sample bag with details as Product name, stage, date, time and sign
Collect app. 2.0 gms of dried material composite sample in poly bag as per location shown
Record the details of analysis.
