Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) is crucial for evaluating the sterile barrier integrity of pharmaceutical packaging, including vials, syringes, auto injectors, and IV bags. This presentation offers an in-depth review of the common CCIT methods found in USP 1207, providing a thorough comparison of the available testing options.
The session begins with an exploration of the different CCIT methods, distinguishing between deterministic and probabilistic approaches. Understanding why one method might be chosen over the other is essential for selecting the most appropriate testing strategy for your specific needs. The presentation explains how each method works, ensuring a clear understanding of their applications and benefits.
Following the method comparison, the presentation delves into the intricacies of CCIT method validation. You will learn how to set up a validation process for a CCIT method, tailored to different sample types. This section will provide practical insights into the validation steps, emphasizing the importance of thorough planning and execution.
Additionally, the presentation addresses common pitfalls to avoid during the validation process. By highlighting these potential challenges, you will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of CCIT method validation and achieve reliable, accurate results.
Key topics covered include:
- The distinction between deterministic and probabilistic methods and the rationale for choosing one over the other.
- Detailed explanations of how different CCIT methods operate.
- Step-by-step guidance on setting up a validation for a CCIT method.
- Common pitfalls to avoid during the validation process.
