Validating of disinfectants for the pure area

Validating of disinfectants for the use in controlled mechanisms can be both long and cost-intensive. This article examines the range of the validating process by disinfectants and like a smooth and successful result to be obtained can. In order fast validating results too receive and one possible time near implementation of a new cleaning agent to make, as well as short Responsezeiten with audits to ensure, all aspects of the new disinfection cleaning agent must be considered from the outset.The following reasons can arrange validating a new disinfectant: • new standards or change of existing standards • arising problem places • health questions and accident prevention repeats • problems with corrosions independent of the reason for the veranlassung of a validating should in the following specified 5 points with validating a pure space disinfectant be considered. Which micro-biological tests are necessary? The probably most difficult challenge in the pure area is control of bacteria pores, since these are resistant opposite most disinfectants. Sometimes a Sporizid effective against sporen can exhibit substantial disadvantages, e.g. harmful in relation to humans or equipment to be or both. Therefore is the search for an effective however innocuous Sporizid of great importance.Conventional biocides such as alcohols, quaternaere ammonium compounds, phenol and amphotere Tenside are effectively ineffective against bacteria in their vegetative stage, however against sporen. A main decision point is therefore in the necessary level because of sporizider activity. For most pure space users a log 3 reduction is normally sufficient. Examine the available data sheets of the manufacturer for the selected cleaning agent, above all the sporizide activity, since these referring to further possibly necessary tests give. For most disinfectants effectiveness data are present opposite BS EN 1276:1997 (bactericidal) and BS EN 1650:1998 (fungicide). With this standard tests it concerns suspension tests, surface tests should remain however not unconsidered.A test method can be found under BS EN 13697:2001, here the acceptance criteria are with a log 4 reduction in relation to bacteria and a log 3 reduction against Fungi. At present test and a Sporensuspension good sporizide effectiveness can be pointed out under dirty conditions with the modified BS EN 1276. Registered success with difficult environmental Isolaten and the experience of important reference places, which could accomplish successful applications in material situations, are very precious and an important decision factor. Further helpful data can result from start-up and quality controls of new pure areas, since these situations represent a special challenge for a disinfectant. These different data of the manufacturer offer effectiveness proofs to you and help with the choice of the disinfectants for validating.As next step the determination of your own sporizider test requirements takes place. Testing of Sporiziden in laboratories is difficult for various reasons and can slow the validating process down substantially. One of these reasons is that Isolate are to be sporulieren with difficulty and the neutralization of the used disinfectant is not to be implemented always simply. Our enterprise has a method thought out on diaphragm filtration be based and for all disinfectants suitable is. The goal existed in the development of a reliable test, which can to be repeated at an independent laboratory and economically accomplished is. The validated diaphragm test makes the simulation possible of material conditions, e.g. a spraying on a surface.Around this to obtain we concentrated on the following ranges: • exact quantification of the number of organisms to achieve around meaningful logs reductions • uniform presentation of the sporen • uniform suspension of the sporen opposite the disinfectant • wash phase, around complete neutralization of the cleaning agent to ensure for the tests for the investigation of the two differently dilutions of our product and peroxide/by acetic acid a mixture we selected two independent laboratories. The tests were accomplished with 100 a %igen concentration under clean conditions and with 90 a %igen finished concentration under dirty conditions. This is important to mark, since a finished solution will be always mixed with breakdown substance and Inokulum. The results were very consistent. Several large Pharmaunternehmen validated this test method with many promising results.What are the requirements to the cleaning agent and its intended purpose? While the micro-biological work is in course, it is importantly the range of validating to expand around any problems in last minute to avoid. The final specification of the disinfectant must be considered carefully, in order to place surely that it can be brought simply into the pure area, and that it corresponds to the standard requirements for sterility or dilution with water for injections (WFI). The present GMP standards give to be sterile that disinfectants in degrees A and B pure areas are used, should. A disinfectant should be available in different formats and become fair application possibilities in different environments. For large environments the use of concentrates with a Moppsystem or an atomising system can be meaningful.Critical ranges require ready for use sprays or before-soaked cloths. In all cases the product the necessary load documents, as well as certificates over sterility, irradiation must and if available, conformity to be attached. Just as necessarily the standard function is to be analyzed, in order the possible effects the one biocide to have could determine. Considering factors contain the use frequency and the possible rotation of the questionable cleaning agent. To be considered also the necessary time of contact, since this can play a substantial role for operational considerations, should atomising formaldehyde has e.g. a 24stuendige envelope time. After the use of some Reini¬gungsmittel the necessity for a rinsing phase exists, this could during neglect consequences have.User error during the handling of large quantities of concentrates and the sicherstellung of the correct dilution must flow likewise considered and into the planning process. Most procedures give that before the use of biocides burying are physically removed, therefore can guidances to handling a burying likewise a basic factor with the decision for a cleaning agent be. Besides you should ask which impact for your requirements are sufficient, since disinfectants under dirty conditions become gesture constant and are not necessary their strong effect if necessary. Also the cleaning method can have an effect on the effectiveness of the disinfectant.A case study accomplished in a large English learning hospital showed that the use of a three-bucket system reduces the contamination of the disinfectant compared with an in bucket system substantially. As last point of this validating step like for a long time the disinfectant should be considered to be used can, before it must be disposed. This has far handing effects on a possible verschwendung of the disinfectant and AUDI gates to ask often after the durability duration after incipient crack of a product. The two main systems of liquid application in a pure space environment are spray cans and spray bottles. Spray bottle systems exhibit definitely advantages. Liquid can be delivered either as jet or sprays, in order to moisten and effectively disinfect the surface thoroughly. They are them propellants to be contained pollution free there and not be not particularly disposed must.The entire Fluessig¬keit can be delivered from the system, then no loss develops which it a economical system makes. Nevertheless contaminated air could be sucked into the bottle back and be endangered the sterility of the liquid. A closed system prevents this and the possibility of a contamination of the liquid. What are the implications for the industrial safety? Beside the effectiveness and usefulness of Reini¬gungsmitteln it is to be evaluated necessarily the safety and health risks as part of the validating process. Some excellent disinfectant, in particular Sporizide, are difficult harmful and in pure areas to begin. The suspension limit, specially necessary clothes or equipment and the costs of each individual cleaning agent must consider to become. The input of the personnel those the disinfectants will use can for the conclusion selection from appreciable value be.Also practical considerations should be employed regarding the storage and increasingly the refuse disposal by chemicals or the Verpackungsmateriales, since this can result into high costs. What are the effects on the pure space environment? Many disinfectants, in particular Sporizide are oxidizing cleaning agents, whose effect must be considered with the use in pure areas with expensive equipment. Evaluation of the available corrosion data for materials in pure areas, insulators and LAFs occur, should be a fundamental component of each validating program. Dei most cleaning agents leave arrears, whose relevance depends on the range and work procedure. With product contact area ranges must be probably rinsed and tested, within other ranges can this of subordinated importance be.Which support can you expect from the manufacturer? The final decision for a disinfectant can depend on the degree of the support, which is offered by the disinfectant manufacturer. AUDI gates your validating results will probably provoke and much on the quality of the manufacturer in the fast adaptability to constantly new guidelines will depend. Examine, whether the manufacturer can offer all necessary technical support and sufficiently to production capacity possesses, in order your requirements today and future fair to become. The manufacturer should make its manufacturing equipment for you possible after your standards to audit.
