Using Visible Residue Limits for Introducing New Compounds into a Pharmaceutical Research Facility

An increasing number of new compounds are being introduced into pharmaceutical pilot plants.The knowledge base for these compounds regarding their toxicities,physical handling, and cleaning is limited.The authors examine various approaches for addressing the cleaning validation of new compounds and discuss the role of determining appropriate visible residue limits.

This article explores the historical use of silicone oil in the performance of primary drug product packaging; design of experiment test results for selection of the cleaning agent and CCPs; assessment of visible residue limits and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy surface analysis; and setting health-based exposure limits for silicone oil using a non-uniform distribution model, and a previously published permitted daily exposure.
