Case Story · Qualification

Production equipment without client names: presses and extruders

Two reference projects from GxP equipment qualification: retrospective qualification of a tablet press for an unnamed pharmaceutical client to current GMP standard and FAT/SAT plus on-site qualification of extruders for an unnamed pharma supplier. Vendor and customer names remain deliberately unnamed.

Back to overview

Starting point

The references describe retrospective qualification of a tablet press for a pharmaceutical client to current GMP standard and support of FAT and SAT plus on-site qualification of extruders for a pharma supplier.

Vendors and clients remain unnamed: we do not invent brands. For QA this still means complete IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, review and completion report following GAMP-aligned practice.

Approach

cube one created qualification documents, executed tests and owned the completion report in the validation manager role.

Tablet press (retrospective)

  • Qualification documents created to current GMP standard.
  • Retrospective IQ/OQ/PQ under risk-based approach.
  • Completion report and release by validation manager.

Equipment and facility qualification.

Extruders (FAT/SAT through on-site)

  • Plant documentation from FAT and SAT supported.
  • On-site qualification including test cases and review.
  • Qualification completion report owned.

Result

Both programmes closed

  • Press retrospectively qualified and GxP released.
  • Extruders supported from FAT/SAT through on-site qualification.
  • Client and exact model details remain confidential.

Audit readiness

  • Complete qualification file without invented vendor names.
  • IQ/OQ/PQ protocols reviewed and closed.
  • Related: NanoDrop One.

No customer names, no invented vendors.

Presses and extruders need IQ/OQ/PQ, not a brochure

We qualify production equipment retrospectively or from FAT/SAT, with documents that withstand audit.
