A Single Adulteration Limit for Cleaning Validation in a Pharmaceutical Pilot-Plant EnvironmentAn adulteration limit of 100 ?g/25cm? (4 ?g/cm?) was proposed for pilot-plant facilities. The dynamic changes in equipment, formulation, and residue determination made implementation of a constantly changing, calculated adulteration limit impractical. A single adulteration limit was simpler to communicate and document, making compliance achievable. The limit would be used only after it was determined to be lower than a health-based evaluation and a visual-cleanliness assessment.

Terminal Sterilization of Sterile Filtered ProductsTerminal sterilization of aseptically processed drug products is extremely important for patient safety. As such, it is a regulatory requirement that drug products that can withstand terminal sterilization be terminally sterilized. Overkill type sterilization cycles are not required for a drug manufacturer to make a terminal sterilization claim. Many different time and temperature combinations that are much more product friendly can be used to safely terminally sterilize drug products.
