Terminal Inspection in Pharmaceutical Industry

·       Terminal inspection is the process for checking of defects in finished good prior to dispatch to market. The process is performed to check the effectiveness in finished good.

·      The IPQA person Check the product particulars to be inspected as offered by the packing in charge.

·       IPQA Personnel shall select randomly √n+1 of the total number of finished good. Whereas “n” is the total number of shipper of batch. Check the each & entire selected Corrugated box for following. Each Box shall be free from any defect.

·         The IPQA Shall Record the defects/Correctness observed on the above parameters in Terminal Inspection Report

·         if the defects warrants threat to the visual and intrinsic quality of the product then put the batch under hold and inform packing supervisor /in charge Production for the corrective actions.

·         If During inspection any minor defects observed, then one shipper from forward and backward should be check to minimise the error. The IPQA Shall inform the Concerned for correctness.

·         If any major defect is seen during inspection, ten shifts should be examined further and backward to reduce the error. IPQA will notify concerns for correctness

·         If any critical defect observed, then 100% batch shall be checked & the batch shall be dispatch after complete rectification through deviation

5 best Standard Operating Procedure Template

Standard Operating Procedure Template

Standard operating procedure is an important document to describe the procedure of any process properly so it is very important to design and elaborate the process through a well design template , so in this post you will get the most popular and widely used standard operating procedure template for creation of SOP.

I will add more template in this post in future .You can refer more SOP template from this Post

cGMP vs GMP | The difference You need to Know

cGMP vs GMP | The difference You need to Know

To be precise there is not much of difference between GMP and cGMP, GMP (God manufacturing Practices) stresses on the use of QMS and Hygienic Practices while manufacturing of product and with an extra “C” (Current) cGMP stresses to use updated and current guidelines with GMP.

To understand where the regulations come from, who has enforcement authority, and why you need to comply

To understand the “Fundamentals”, “Benefits” and “Key Parts” of cGMPs

What are cGMPs?

Current Good Manufacturing Practices

Come from the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act

Rules set up by the FDA that drug manufacturers need to follow in order to ensure that a safe and effective product is manufactured

Why GMP?

Provides a high level assurance that medicines are manufactured in a way that ensures their safety, efficacy and quality

GMP applies to both Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Finished Pharmaceutical Products (FPPs)

Fundamentals of cGMPs?

Quality Control, safety, and effectiveness must be designed and built into the product

Quality cannot be inspected or tested into a finished product

Each step of manufacturing must be controlled to maximize the chances that the Finished Good will be acceptable

What are the Benefits of cGMPs?

They outline a Quality System that reduces or prevents errors

Ensures products are safe for use in humans

Prevent/control contamination and cross-contamination

Minimizes variations in potency of the drug

Ensures reproducible physiological activity

Prevent side effects and toxicity due to variations in drug content and potency

Prevents mislabelling and adulteration
