Performance Qualification of Autoclave
Performing the Performance Qualification.
Perform the Operational Qualification as per the check list which contains points defined in the
installation requirement that the HORIZONTAL AUTOCLAVE –I, is supposed to fulfill.
In addition, list out control points installed and check the temperature and pressure conditions
achieved after the HORIZONTAL AUTOCLAVE –I, has been started after shut down. Note down
all the observations in the Operational Qualification Report. The HORIZONTAL Autoclave –I,
shall be handed over to Quality Control only after successful completion of Operational
Qualification.
Record all observations and deviations in the report. In case of deviation prepare a
deviation report with justification and get it approved by Head Quality assurance, Head Quality
Control.
