LSUG 2011 Revised CR 2 Monitoring Compressed Air/Gas for Particles 1 FDA: Air (CDA) or Gas that contacts Product 2 Air (CDA) or Gas that contacts Product Frequency of sampling and target levels for CDA/Gases It would seem that the authorities have not established a periodicity for sampling of compressed gas sources. In cases where there is concern that there might be some risk, it may be wise to sample gas sources on a quarterly basis and to set an expectation of an ISO 7 level in non- sterile applications; for sterile areas, a target of ISO 5 or better should be used. Many customers look for an ISO 4 level in sterile gas supplies and this should be achievable with most commercially available filter methods. This higher target level is, however, one of choice, rather than one dictated by regulation (but does add some safety margin). Also, for sterile areas, a more frequent - monthly or even weekly - sampling may help minimize any lengthy period of heightened risk due to a system failure. 3 MET ONE 3400 for CDA/Gas testing Ordering a Particle Counter for Gas Sampling The new 3400 gas option, together with the appropriate High Pressure Diffuser (HPD), makes gas monitoring straight-forward. The user simply selects the required gas from a pull-down list on the 3400 interface; the sample flow is automatically adjusted to ensure that a calibrated flow rate is maintained to specification. Ordering a new 1 CFM 3400 with gas calibration is likewise straight-forward. Four versions are available, and include gas calibrations for these gases: Air, N2, and CO2. 2088900-06 3413 0.3 micron, 1 CFM, GASES 2088900-07 3413 0.3 micron, 1 CFM, GASES, WIFI 2088900-08 3415 0.5 micron, 1 CFM, GASES 2088900-09 3415 0.5 micron, 1 CFM, GASES, WIFI For the 1 CFM counters listed above, select the 2080732-13 HPD. Note that HPD versions are available for other flow rates when CDA and/or N2 are the only gases to be sampled. 4 MET ONE Diffusers for CDA/Gas 5 Cleanrooms: Setting Alerts and Actions; Continuous Monitoring; Agenda • ISO 14644-1: Revisions • EU GMP ANNEX 1 • What affects Particle Concentration in a cleanroom • What can be readily controlled to affect concentration • What are the current trends and dialog that will likely change historic mainstays of cleanroom design • Setting ALERT and ACTION levels for best effect • Continuous monitoring for particle counts 7 Measuring Particles: 2 intentions Classification Monitoring Distribution of counts Uniform or Unique at each in a room or zone homogenous sample position Classification Monitoring 9 Monitoring 10 Two types of Monitoring !!! “EM” Intermittent Process Control • Daily, weekly, • Continuous during monthly, quarterly process/setup • General 1 to 3 • Frequent consecutive samples each time samples, often at 1- • Static or dynamic minute intervals • General need is to • Watching for show consistency heightened risk due over time – trend to contamination • CAUTION: • “Normal” operations Conditions and sources can cause brief must be identical to spikes in counts draw any conclusions 11 Setting ALERT and ACTION levels for best effect 12 Setting Warning Level(s) 1.

Summary Cleanrooms are dynamic; particle concentrations change with location and with time Particle counts can fluctuate considerably but yet be normal Studying the actual particle count values over a long period of time is often critical to setting good values for ALERT and ACTION levels Strategies for setting ALERT and ACTION levels will likely be different for continuous PROCESS control versus intermittent EM sampling 42 Thank you !

  • BRIEFING 〈797〉 Pharmaceutical Compounding—Sterile
    BRIEFING 797 Pharmaceutical Compounding—Sterile Preparations, USP 41 page 6554 and PF 41(6) [Nov.–Dec. 2015]. 〈 〉 Based on the number and significance of public comments received in response to the revision proposal published in PF 41(6), the USP Compounding Expert Committee is proposing to revise this chapter. The current proposed chapter in PF 44(5) [Sept.–Oct. 2018] is posted online at http://www.uspnf.com/notices/general-chapter-797-proposed-revisions with line numbers. Submit comments using the form available at https://usp.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3dDhnN2ZVCYh5yJ. The Expert Committee seeks stakeholder feedback on the proposed revisions to the chapter, including the following major changes: 1. Reorganization of the chapter to include section and subsection numbers. Placement of procedural information in boxes. 2. Definition of the scope of the chapter to include sterile compounding activities and exclude administration of medication (e.g., withdrawing doses for administration). 3. Simplified compounded sterile preparation (CSP) microbial risk levels from three (low, medium, and high) to two—Category 1 CSPs and Category 2 CSPs. Category 1 and 2 CSPs are distinguished primarily by the facility in which they are made and the time period within which they must be used, i.e., the beyond-use date (BUD). • Category 1 CSPs have a shorter BUD and may be prepared in an unclassified segregated compounding area (SCA). • Category 2 CSPs have a longer BUD and must be prepared in a cleanroom suite (buffer room with ante-room). 4. Addition of guidance on use and storage of opened or needle- punctured conventionally manufactured products and CSPs.

  • Federal Standard 209E for Cleanroom - an Obsolete Document!
    FEDERAL STANDARD 209E FOR CLEANROOM - AN OBSOLETE DOCUMENT! By Ir Liew Huey Chyan, P.Eng, APEC Eng, ASEAN Eng, M.IEM, M.IEAust, SM.IEST, M.ASHRAE ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) Federal Standard 209 (FS 209) was published by the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST), FS 209 was approved for use by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) in 1963, making it obligatory for organizations doing work for the United States government. FS 209 has been used widely as the de facto clean room standard in and around the world including in Malaysia, some countries completely adopted FS 209, while others made their own national version, similar to FS 209. Some made minor changes of the classes to comply with the metric system. Australia (AS 1386), France (AFNOR X44101), Germany (VDI 2083:3), Holland (VCCN 1), Japan (JIS-B-9920), Russia (Gost-R 50766), United Kingdom (BS 5295) are among the major national standards that referenced to FS 209. The activities of the ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC209 "Clean rooms and other associated controlled environments" which started in 1993, has effectively and in reality made obsolete what is in FS 209. In addition ISO/TC209 offers broader domestic and international appeal. The ISO clean room standards will be known by their identifying number series, ISO 14644 and ISO 14698. ISO 14644-1 "Classification of Air Cleanliness" standard had became mandatory in the Europe Union (E.U.) since November 1999. In January 2000, the IEST submitted a formal request to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to retire the standard, and the GSA officially did so on November 2001.

  • [Pdf] ISO Cleanroom Standards and Federal Standard
    FS209E and ISO Cleanroom Standards Terra Universal is the leading expert in the design and fabrication of critical-environment applications. We offer a complete range of equipment, furnishing and supplies for cleanroooms and laboratories. Following are the rigorous standards to which Terra Universal adheres. Before global cleanroom classifications and standards were adopted by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the U.S. General Service Administration’s standards (known as FS209E) were applied virtually worldwide. However, as the need for international standards grew, the ISO established a technical committee and several working groups to delineate its own set of standards. FS209E contains six classes, while the ISO 14644-1 classification system adds two cleaner standards and one dirtier standard (see chart below). The “cleanest” cleanroom in FS209E is referred to as Class 1; the “dirtiest” cleanroom is a class 100,000. ISO cleanroom classifications are rated according to how much particulate of specific sizes exist per cubic meter (see second chart). The “cleanest” cleanroom is a class 1 and the “dirtiest” a class 9. ISO class 3 is approximately equal to FS209E class 1, while ISO class 8 approximately equals FS209E class 100,000. By law, Federal Standard 209E can be superseded by new international standards. It is expected that 209E will be used in some industries over the next five years, but that eventually it will be replaced internationally by ISO 14644-1. Before global cleanroom classifications and standards were adopted by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the U.S. General Service Administration’s standards (known as FS209E) were applied virtually worldwide.
